Screen on my Mac Book Pro goes out randomly when I touching trackpad.

The screen on my Mac Book Pro goes out randomly when I touch my trackpad.  Every time the screen shuts off, I have to restart my computer so the screen will turn on again and it's driving me nuts.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and a solution?
Thanks
Kevin

You can blank the monitor using those keys, that's likely what you did, it's a feature.

    Ah the devil is in the details
    Adding the shift key to the command places the screen shot in the clipboard as Hiroto pointed out.
    To get the file on the Desktop just remove the shift key.

    Boot with your original system installation DVD: with the disc in the drive, restart the MBP while holding the C key. From the Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. Erase the internal disk.
    Quit Disk Utility and install OS X. Install the applications that came with the MBP from the Applications DVD.

  • Mac book pro speaker sounds vibrating when volume increases

    mac book pro speaker sounds vibrating when volume increases

    Is there a red light coming from the headphone socket ? If so it's got 'stuck' in Digital Audio mode.
    Try inserting and removing a headphone jack while wigglingit a bit - inside the socket is a small switch that can tell the difference between an analogue plug and a Toslink (digital) one - sounds like the switch is stuck in the wrong position ...

    Ok..
    Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    If nothing helped, since you don't hear the startup chord, make an appointment at an Apple Apple Genius Bar or take your Mac to an Apple certified repair provider.

  • Mac Book Pro video out (no signal to tv)

    My six month old Mac Book Pro has been working fine sending out a video and audio signal since day one. Two days ago I now get no video signal out of the same video adapter and I also don't get an audio signal out of the speakers nor out of the ear phone out port.
    The computer and screen work fine
    What can I do before I take it in to an Apple Genius for a probable logic board replacement?

    Nope, I believe that there are two mini-display-ports and a full-sized DVI port on the back of a ATI Radeon HD 5870 according to the Apple Store. What I meant was to get a DVI to VGA for £2.99 of eBay and see what you are doing wrong. This might show that one of your working monitors with Display Locations 1&2 on your 5870 does not work on Display Location 3 on the 5870 meaning you have a faulty connector or the entire 5870; hopefully not the latter.
    If it the first, then it is fairly easy to replace the connector it is feasible. Even though there are quite a large amount of pins to solder; these parts are readily available. I have done this to one 5870 and two EVGA Nvidia GTX 460 SC cards after they were damaged due to a berk of a friend when he removed them from his gaming-PC.

  • Kernel panic and distorted screen on startup - mac book pro c.2008 on os x 10.4! HELP!

    I've had my mac book pro since 2007/8, it's on os x 10.4, and has worked well until last night when the screen froze in a crazy distorted pattern and I had to turn it off. Now it kernel panics every time i turn it on and it attempts to start up with the same crazy distorted pattern across the loading screen and even the kernel panic message.
    I don't have the start up discs with me.
    I've tried the troubleshooting for kernel panics i.e.
    1. holding [shift] when start up  - did nothing
    2. holding [option + command + p + r] when start up - chimed three times but wouldn't load  after this
    3. holding [command + s] on start up to boot in single user mode - it loads the logs but with the same crazy distortion and when i try to exit to boot in single user mode it won't do anything
    so that is where i am up to... really need my laptop for work and about to leave the country to travel so need it asap - i'm in melbourne and the apple store is miles out of city - any suggestions on reliable apple retailers also gratefully received...
    anyone any ideas on the damage/ cause/ possible solution???
    i love my mac. please don't die.

    If this happened spontaneously and not as the result of a software update or any other change that you made, then it's probably due either to a hardware failure or to data corruption. There isn't much you can do without the installation disc, and maybe not even with the disc. If you can boot in single-user mode, run fsck as prompted on the screen. If it finds problems, run it again.
    Any authorized Apple dealer should be able to provide service, but it may take more time than you have.
