I bought my Macbook Pro last July. It's worked well since then. I had a minor run-in with Applecare because my battery was overheating and causing cracks in my top case. That same issue is happening again with my top case, and I'm not sure if it's related to this problem or not. I pray it's not because my warranty is almost up and I really do not want to go through those headaches..
Anyways, it started yesterday. After forcing shut-downs multiple times by pressing the power button till it shut off, the screen stopped displaying video. It started up again somehow and worked fine until this morning when I had closed the display to do things around the house. I came back and the video did not display. I get start-up chimes and that sort of thing but besides that, absolutely nothing.
Recent programs I installed were Blizzard's Wrath of the Lich King Alpha. An expansion pack in testing for World of Warcraft. The Alpha was crashing due to some Assertion error. Could that have corrupted software on my laptop and caused my display problem?
At the very least, could someone tell me what Apple Stores usually do in this situation? I am afraid to come in and have them tell me I won't be seeing my laptop for a month.
