wont wake up

[sonisoe]

happened twice on me, my new macbook pro wont wake up.

first time, not sure what i accidentally pressed and the screen went off. tried to "click" and then press the power button, screen wouldnt turn on. strangely though, didnt think the computer really "slept" because when i "clicked" or pressed the power button, i could still see through the dark screen my computer was still running, i could still that "downloading updates" and a couple other windows on at that time.

2nd time, left my computer on as i was installing softwares, was fine when i clicked to wake it up, but then when it went to sleep again, it wouldnt wake up.

had to force-shutdown with the power button to re-start up.

advice.

Bought mine in March and it's doing exactly the same thing

The newer machines don't have inverters, and the display assemblies can't be taken apart, so that significantly simplifies things involving backlight issues. You either have a bad display assembly or a bad logic board, and it's most likely the display assembly. Bring it in.

Try resetting your SMC: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Or try turning the brightness up.
