Turning Macbook on but the screen doesn't work?

Hello
I've been having issues with my Mac... Every time I turn on my Mac, it turns on correctly, but my screen doesn't turn on, it's as if it's stuck on sleepmode. I tried resetting the system manager, applealt+p+rpowerbutton and it still only turns onto sleep mode. Another thing I noticed is that my mac has a tendency of restarting if I move it or pick it up.

I'd run the Hardware Test (from your Install DVD) and see if that presents anything.

  • My imac turns on.. but the screen doesn't!

    I woke up my computer from sleep one day by using the mouse and then it brought me to the desktop... then it froze. So, I simply did force shut down by pressing the button. Now when I press the power button, computer turns on (I hear the fan and CPU turning on) and the light on the bottom right corner lights up, but the screen doesn't show anything; it remains black. There is no dong startup sound or apple logo startup or anything. I tried doing the PRAM reset (that did nothing since I can't see the screen anyway). I have no warranty or anything. Can someone help me with my issue? Thanks.

    Did resetting the SMC help for you? Or have you found another solution.
    I ask because the iMac I have is doing exactly the same - the disk spins, fan makes noises, white sleep light comes on (permanently) but the screen stays black.
    Resetting the SMC did not work for me plus I also tried removing the RAM and re-inserting - still no joy.
    I also tried the thing where you plug the power cable back in while holding the on off button in - in this case the fan just went onto maximum speed until I turned the iMac off again.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • How can I turn off "Find My IPhone" when the phone won't turn off but the screen doesn't work?

  • When I open my MacBook lid sometime the screen doesn't work!

    Hi, I have found that recently, when I open the lid of my MacBook Pro it does not wake from sleep properly. The sleep light goes out and I can hear the hard drive spinning, but the display does not work.
    I have to turn off the mbp and restart it, then it will work. It works sometime, it tends to be when I leave it closed for too long that it does this.
    Can anyone help??
    Thanks
    Tom

    I am having this same problem. The computer itself is awake, but the display stays blank. I can restart it by pressing the power button then 'R' then 'return'. This just starting happening frequently recently for me. It may be the result of one of the more recent security updates.

  • My ipod touch charges, and even shows up on Itunes, but the screen doesn't turn on, how can i fix this?

    My big brother gave me an ipod, just today. i let it charge until the battery was showing full on itunes, then i tried to turn it on but the screen won't power on. Th ipod even makes the little jingle when I plug it in. Are there any solutions what so ever?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

    Theres almost a trick to it for first time users, goto SETTINGS...General......Cellular (if Verizon) ....Personal Hotspot, turn it on.....turn on wifi on your Mac, select your Iphone.  Enter password.
    If you take too long doing it, youll need turn turn off and on real quick the "personal hotspot" slider on the Phone.......then go quick again thur the Mac.

    Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone.  You clearly broke it when you dropped it.

  • When I turn my iPhone horizontally, the screen doesn't also turn

    When I turn my phone horizontally, the screen doesn't turn.

    Bring up Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen near the home button.  Make sure the rotation lock is not locked.  It is in the upper right corner of control center (a circular arrow around a padlock).

  • I went to use my iPhone 5 (I had used it just minutes before) and it wouldn't work. It was about half charged and seems to have shut itself off. I tried charging it and turning it on but the screen remains completely black. What happened?

    Try resetting.  Hold the sleep wake button (on the top edge), and the home button (round button on the front with the white square) at the same time for 10-15 seconds.  If you see the apple logo, let go.  Your phone should restart.  If not?
