So my Macbook Pro is about 3 years old.... I don't have any cover whatsoever anymore and have moved away from anywhere near that does Macs.
I rang one person who specialises but nope.. no help whatsoever.
The Problem
Had my MBP in sleep mode a lot. Naughty I know and then one day, screen wouldn't switch back on. Restarted. Chimes but no screen.
Tried resetting the PRAM, hard restart, all those buttony things at the bottom but no such luck.
Someone connected it via Firewire to my dad's MB and tried to do the sleep file. Didn't work.
The battery was on the way out as well so thought it might be that but doesn't work off the mains either.
Left toiling in corner for three or so months whilst I tried to decide what to do.
Tomorrow I have a mate who's just started training in Macs to have a go.
Advised me to back up and knew I was able to do this.
Connected FireWire and turned on MBP and NOTHING.
Was annoyed, left for a few minutes and then it randomly booted up. Still no screen.
Started to transfer music and accidently knocked out the Firewire. Did the restart T thing and then the screen, magically out of nowhere, came on again!
Jumped for joy and started installing updates (Including a firmware one).
Installation finished. Mac restarted....reverts back to screen not switching on.
Am transferring my files now, MBP APPEARS to be working just no screen.
Any ideas?
