Hi everyone,

I just bought this laptop this week used. It was working beautifully until about 2 hours ago. I get the chime when I turn it on. I have 5 lights on the battery (fully charged) and the keyboard lights up. I hear sound. But the screen is black.

This is my first laptop. Can someone advise me on what to do?

Thank you,
 
One fix to black/flickering screen

The screen on my macbook pro has gone black and/or flickered numerous times. I tried several of the fixes on this board, none of them seemed to work. After much trial and error, I ran both thumbs firmly down the full length of the screen. At least for me, this solution works 100% of the time and only takes 2-3 seconds.:)

Maybe so, but chances are high you have the faulty video card. I know because it happened to me three times.
 
'mac daddy' is fixed

it was the logic board after all. apple replaced it for free since it was one of those 2007's with problems. thanks everyone for replying and making me feel better. :)
