When I open the MacBook Pro, display doesn't turn on!

I have a new MacBook Pro. It doesn't seem to wake from sleep. Also, when it is operating, it doesn't respond when I try and put it to sleep. Lastly, sometimes when I shut the computer, I notice that it will remain very warm for a long time in my bag, even though it isn't plugged in. These all seem very related.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks!
Tim

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I also had some sleep problems with my new (in September) MBP running 10.4.10. Mostly a tendency to freeze if the display went to sleep, which does not seem to be the same problem that yours has. When I went to Leopard, all of these problems vanished.
Is yours asleep or frozen? If the sleep light is steady instead of pulsing, it may be frozen. And it should not freeze.
I have never had a problem with the MBP getting warm in my bag, but then, I always shut it down rather than put it to sleep. But I have heard of others getting warm. The MBP uses its aluminum skin to cool itself, and that doesn't work well in a bag. So I don't think it's good to put it in a bag asleep although I am sure others will disagree with this.
Since it's new and under warranty, you can always take these issues up with Apple.
Good luck!

    When I open my Macbook pro- the screen lights up and then goes black- keybook stays backlite- can not get screen to come back on. Must reboot-
    thoughts-?? Macbook is 6 months old and on second hard drive ( failure after 45 days).

    Hey! exact same thing happens to me... I use the keyboard shortcut to turn off the screen which is ctrl - shift - eject button. Then just poke a key and it wakes up again fine, it doesn't fix the problem but at elast you don't have to reboot. x

    When I open my MacBook Pro for the first time each day, I find condensation on the glass.  What can I do to prevent the condensation?

    This thread and all the followups are hilarious, if it weren't such a serious problem. OP, you may want to add a bit more information on how this drippy screen problem occurs: where do you live, what are the weather conditions, what are you doing with the Mac when it occurs, etc.
    Yes, extreme moisture, to the extent of causing visible condensation, is Very Bad News for any electronic device, and more so with one that isn't tropicalized like the Mac. Besides trying to avoid subjecting it to such extreme temperature changes, using some kind of desiccant to absorb close range moisture and avoidint its use until it dried out, I can suggest placing some kind of absorbent material between the display and the keyboard to prevent the moisture on the glass from finding its way into the computer. Like the protective poliethylene foam protector that came with the Mac when new. Or something like RadTech's ScreenSavrz: http://www.radtech.us/Products/NotebookScreenSavrz.aspx

  • I purchased Macbook Pro i5 in March 2011. Now the screen has problem; one vertical blue line is in the screen (at the right side). I noticed this last week when I opened the MacBook, and now I am always seeing it. How to remove it?

    I purchased Macbook Pro i5 in March 2011. Now the screen has problem; one vertical blue line is in the screen (at the right side). I noticed this last week when I opened the macbook and now I am always seening it. I am seeing the blue vertical line always in the screen. However, I am not seeing this line when I open Word, Excel, PowerPoint files (without pictures). But I am seeing this line always when I see movies, pictures, and all the files which have pictures. Please do let me know how can I remove this vertical blue line (blue tint) pernamentally from the screen.

    Backup your files to a external hard drive and disconnect.
    Call Apple and make a warranty call, then take it to the nearest Apple Store etc.
    You can run these things and it might clear your issue or give further informaiton
    Perform a hardware check

    Then see if resetting the SMC/PRAM resolve your issue

  • When I open my Macbook Pro it shows past date

    Hi -
    Sometimes (pretty consistently lately) when I open my Macbook Pro it shows the screen that was there when I closed it, but everything is greyed.  There is a line at the bottom that is moving across and when it finishes the color goes back to normal.  But even then, the time is from when I closed it, and the computer is unresponsive.  It will sometimes sit in this state for a couple of minutes or longer.
    This is a six month old Macbook Pro and this happens pretty regularly, and has off and on since I first got it.
    Is this just no more than annoying?  I've been using Apple laptops since 2005 and never had this happen until this machine (which is my third personal one - I support two others).  Any ideas on cause?
    Thanks
    Craig

    Some users have reported solving this problem by resetting the NVRAM (PRAM.)
    If you've installed something called "iCleanMemory," or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "free up" memory, remove it according to the developer's instructions after backing up all data. Reboot and test. If there's no change, continue.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new password does not match. What to do?

    If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information.  Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

  • My Macbook Pro Retina doesn't turn on but charger led works

    I haven't used my mac for a month but it use to work perfectly fine. I tried to use it but it wouldn't turn on. When i plug the magsafe connecter the led goes orange. But when i press the power button it doesn't turn on. i tried smc reset using left shift, control and option (and power button) while charging and not charging but it doesn't work. Please help.  

    IF the battery was completely discharged, give it some time on the charger before trying to start up.  The amber LED means it is charging, give it an hour or so before trying again.

  • Put to Sleep and  Don't wake up when i open my macbook pro

    Hello,
    i have a Macbook pro 17' (2,33ghz) using leopard 10.5.2 with all the latest update.
    Everytime i put my computer to sleep for more than 10 minutes (random time), when i try to wake up nothing happen, i hear a strange noise of the HD for about 2 seconds and the screen stay Black.
    When i close the computer again, the light stay On, when i open the computer again nothing happen, the screen is black, no buttons works, nothing happen.
    So i have to press the Power button for a few seconds and then turn on my Mac again.
    this happen to me every day !
    i try:
    Remove the charger = Same Problem
    With the charger = Same Problem
    With Apple Bluetooth mouse = Same Problem
    Without Apple Bluetooth mouse = Same Problem
    With External HD = Same Problem
    Without External HD = Same Problem
    when i try to wake up the Mac, I wait for more than 10 minutes and nothing happen.
    i see the Log's and i can't see antything Wrong.
    this is not the first time i have this problem
    in 10.4.8 i have the problem, when i update to 10.4.9 "fix the problem" until 10.5.2
    i have the AppleCare.
    i dont know if this is a Hardware or Software problem and if the guarantee cover this?
    thinkin that this could be a HD problem so i check in the disk utility and everyting is OK.
    Thanks!

    Well. in my searching i find an """"Answer"""
    Some body was talking about that the new's Mac have something called "Safe Sleep" so when someone sleep the Mac the Information of the Ram make a copy in the HD this can take for 30 seconds to a minute. In this time, if you move the mac or do something else, generate a error and corrupt the Information of the ram and the Mac stop working.
    Say that to remove this "Safe Sleep" have to open the terminal and:
    The Unix command to disable SafeSleep is:
    sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
    To re-enable SafeSleep, the command is:
    sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3
    Maybe Apple going to Fix this in future Updates.
    Sorry for my English !

  • MacBook Pro display doesn't close down properly.

    We have one MacBook Pro that doesn't close down properly. The display just bounces up. Is there any way to fix this or is this something that needs to be fixed by a technician?

    Try blowing out the slots where the two "prongs" come up, and the release button slot (push it in and out a bit while doing this) with compressed air. (use your lungs if you don't have a can of air).
    Often a bit of crumb or other gunk will impede the mechanism enough to prevent the magnets from being able to do their job properly.
