hey macrumors forum, this is my first question here.
i have an issue regarding my macbook pro 13" retina display that id purchased only a few months ago. after putting it to sleep the night before, my macbook had a blank screen when i'd opened it the next morning. i forced shut down the pro, and performed many things that id been told to do after a quick search, such as doing an SMC reset, and also resetting the PRAM. a random time afterwards, i booted up the macbook to see if it it'd randomly fix - and surprisingly, it booted up normally and then i used it for about an hour, putting it asleep once more to use it at a later time. however, again, my macbook does the same thing - playing the startup tune when i turn it on and leaving a blank screen. there is a backlight, however, where the screen (although remaining dark and black) does have a backlight to it, and also the apple logo on the back of my mac is lit. also, the keyboard works to some degree while my macbook is "on", and turning on/off the caps lock toggles the green dot.
if anyone has any knowledge on how to fix this matter, i would greatly appreciate it. unfortunately, the closest apple store to me does not have any genius bar appointments til next week and i need this working by tomorrow.
thank you.
