Does any experience this? It usually happens on my MBP after I disconnect it from the external monitor and put it to sleep.
Is there a way to fix it?

Blank screen after waking up from sleep

This happens to me every once in a while. The only thing I've found to do is just wait until it goes back to sleep then try and wake it again and it usually works that time around.
No, I first disconnect the monitor cable then close the lid. The blank usually occurs after I wake up the MBP by opening the lid (after the monitor cable has been disconnected, obviously).

yes but you didnt answer my question, are you waiting the 5-10 seconds for it to figure out that the monitor is disconnected? like i said, the internal LCD will flash blue then back to the desktop, is this happening?
OH! I got what you meant now! Thanks. I must have been closing the lid too quickly before the MBP screen flashes blue. This should solve the problem! Cheers.
P.S. Aren't we loving our 2.4GHZ MBP???😛

Black screen happens to others, too
I have the black screen after waking from sleep on my G4 MDD tower -- no lid, external monitor, etc., to blame. I find it happens about once a month, 2 or 3 times in a row, then it's OK for another month, or so. I feel that if I move the mouse before clicking for wake-up, that it will wake up black, but it doesn't happen all the time. It's annoying that Apple refuses to address this problem.
A workaround I've heard of is to set it to require a password on waking from sleep, but that's more of a bother for me than the occasional black screen.
