My Mac Pro screen is completely black when I turned it on

My Mac Pro turns on but nothing shows on the screen. The screen is completely dark. Is it because I need a new battery for my MacBook Pro? My MacBook Pro is three to four years old and I never change the battery on it. Could some help me out!!!!

I just downloaded the recent Maverick Software Update onto my Macbook Pro 15" and when the download/reset finished, my screen was completely black and I have not been able to get it back since. Help?

My computer had been wanting to do a software update, with what I believe was the Mavericks Software, for a few weeks but I had been putting it off. When I finally decided to install the update onto my Macbook Pro 15" today, my screen went completely black and I haven't been able to get it back since. The computer still turns on, I can tell because my caps lock key still glows when I press it and my volume buttons still make sounds when I press them. However, I cannot see anything on the screen. I don't even get the grey start up screen when I reset my computer. I have tried the SafeMode Restart where you hold Shift while it is restarting and the Display Reset in which you hold Command + Option (alt) + R + P until you hear the start up noise twice, and neither have worked. Any other advice on what I can do to get my screen back without having to send my computer away to be fixed?

Try a SMC reset:

Congratulations. I think this is very hard to do.
However, this is a forum devoted to video editing. You want one associated to the MacPro.

Screen Went Completely Black

Turned on my MacBook Pro tonight, and the screen was completely black. Keys seems to work, and the sound seems to work. Tried turning it off and then on again. Nothing worked. Any ideas why this would happen?

If your Mac has the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics chip, you could have this problem:

If so, you will get a free repair.
Good luck!

My mac pro screen has vertical lines... How much does it cost to get it fixed?

When you fail to give information on the exact model MBP that you have, how do you expect anyone to provide you with any specific information?
I suggest that you go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com and look for parts and prices. That naturally assumes that you know what parts are defective and need to be replaced.

Screen goes to black when tilted back too far...anyone else had this issue?

My ibook has started this crazy new thing. The screen goes to black when tilted close to all the way back. It's not that big a deal, but I was wondering if anyone else has this issue and if it possibly will get worse. When it happens, I just close the lid, let in go into sleep mode, then open it back up touch a key and all's well, I just have to be careful not to lean the screen back too far. In the past, I've had to send it back twice for the logic board to be replaced and as much as I love Macs, I really feel this is not a well-made product. Thanks for any advice....

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
As the old joke goes about the guy who went to the doctor and, raising his arm, said, "Doc, it hurts when I do this." And the doctor said, "Well, then, don't do that!"
Yes, it is a familiar thing to happen to an iBook. The backlight cable can get pinched in the hinge, causing it to go off at certain angles.

My 13 in MacBook Pro screen randomly goes black. It was purchased in 2010. It's a 10.6.8.

My 13 in MacBook Pro screen randomly goes black. It was purchased in 2010. It's a 10.6.8. It started just recently. The only thing I can think of is is that my 7 year old son played an online game with the computer. I did check the "hot corners" settings and that is not the issue. When the screen goes black, I generally end of foce shutting it down with the power button.

If my home screen is completly black will apple replace it with a new phone within warranty?

My phone is operating but my home screen is completly black.

Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.
As far as what Apple will do, you'll have to check with them. If you're within warranty and they determine the issue is a hardware defect, and not caused by damage of some sort, you should get a replacement iPhone that will retain the remaining part of your current warranty, or 90 days, whichever is greater.
If it's not covered by the warranty, it will be $199 to replace it.

Laptop screen goes completely black but shows that it's still on

Hello everyone, i'm in need of serious help!
I bought this laptop over 2 years ago (October of 2008 to be somewhat exact). It's a Windows Vista Home Premium, with service pack 2.
its an HP pavilion dv7 notebook pc
processor: AMD Turion (tm) X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-70 2.00 GHz
Ram: 4GB
system type: 64-bit operating system
im assuming the video card information are as follow:
name: ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
chip type: ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics (0x9612)
DAC type: Internal DAC (400MHz)
total memory: 1914MB
memory: 3836MB RAM
page file: 2163MB used, 5732MB available
current display is 1440 x 900 (32 bit)(60Hz)
directx version: directx 11
with that being said... here's my dilemma...
Each time i play the video game, "World of warcraft", my laptop's screen goes completely black but it shows as if though it is still on. I can't see the screen but it shows that it is still on by the little lights on the bottom of the screen.
I took my laptop to a family friend who knows a lot about computers to see if they can fix it for me. They told me that everything was running fine, everything is okay, the ram, memory, graphic card, everything passed the test, and it was not over heating... there was nothing wrong with my laptop. They THOUGHT it could be the motherboard, so they tried it, but in the end, it wasn't. Unfortunately the problem was not solved.
I played World of warcraft on this laptop before. When i first bought it. It ran smoothly and gave me no problem whatsoever. I'm clueless is to though why it's giving me problems NOW.
Could anyone please please pleaseeeee help me? i have given up already. I have done everything i could. Please help me! i believe i have done a total one 1 or 2 system restore to factory settings, the 2nd one was recently (probably a month ago) and i'm not sure if maybe perhaps i needed to DL something else? i have DL all the updates that microsoft offered to me when needed and when it was necessary, but this particularly problem was never fixed.
someone please help me! Thank you so much!

erichon99,
I think i may have found MY solution but i have yet to test it out... No one helped me. No one at all. I took my PC to a family friend company and they did everything for me: ran tests to see if my laptop is up to date with everything, removed graphic card and put a better one and nothing still. They thought it was my mother board but they ran tests again and everything on my laptop past the test. My graphic card was fine, ram was perfect, memory was perfect, everything everything on my laptop was perfect. They couldn't find out what was the problem. I took it to best buy and not even them could help me. When i was about to give up, my fiance, he did some research and found this guy on youtube who does LIVE recordings and answers people's questions. My fiance asked the question and he got serveral responses. Out of 10, i would say about 2 or 3 of them mentioned, "it's the power cord" the rest said it might be virus, or a card is not working properly, etc. You can give it a shot (buying a new power cord) those who told my fiance that it could be my power cord, said to get those power cord that has a fan in them.
I think this makes sense because my screen goes black only when i'm playing a game. even when i play cityville on facebook it goes that black screen, but it doesn't go black, it does that pixelated, rainbow, warning bar, thingy (i hope you know what i mean lol) and when i touch my power cord to my laptop it is BURNING hot. What i do is, when my battery is fully charge, i disconnect and play my game, and to not lose any docs i left open, i close my games, and plug back in. I've been lazy to find another power cord lol i guess i should start now, huh? lol
i hope this help. I would say (if you've done everything like how i did) buy a power cord that matches your laptop, but with a FAN in it (i was told it's the best and you'll never have that problem of freezing or whatever)

GX660 screen goes completely black for a moment

Is it normal when sometimes you open a program screen goes completely black (no led backlight) for a second or two before it turns back on with "user acces control" table? Other times it doesnt go black.
edit: i found out that it do that after reboot/hibernate/sleep at first time opening program.

My Mac Pro screen went grey ?

My Mac Pro screen went grey ?

Aamirfrom,
boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Is your display still grey?

My iPhone 5 screen is completely black. I can hear it working (you can hear Siri if you push the home key) but I can't see anything.

My iPhone 5 screen is completely black. I can hear it working (you can hear Siri if you push the home key) but I can't see anything. I've tried a hard reset but that hasn't worked. Any other ideas? I have a call in to get a replacement but it won't come in until next week so until then I don't have a working phone!

Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts. This usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.
