HELP! MBP screen not coming on

[~J~]

I get no display whatsoever, after initial power on, or after closing it, letting it sleep, & then waking it. What do I do??!

If you have AppleCare take it to the store.

I do, but I need to get it running tonight...

Well you can check if the backlight/LCD or the video card died; just plug in an external monitor and see if it works; if you don't have an external your only shot is to check out the Apple Store.

I just got mine back from the Apple service centre. They had to replace the logic board. This problem looks to be spreading. I would get it to your nearest Apple service place soon.

I could connect to mine by using screen sharing from my old iMac G5. It worked fine just no screen.
