MacBook Pro black screen!

The screen went black on my MacBook Pro (13-inch Retina display) 2013. I tried all the troubleshooting suggestions I found online (PRAM, MSC, flashlight, etc)... the only change is that the screen changes from black to gray, but nothing else happens. Took it to the Apple Store, and they said I need a new view to the tune of $450... Ouch! I do not spend as much on a Mac for 3 years. This is my first Mac and I don't have any spare parts, nor the technical capacity to perform the repairs myself. Other (less expensive) suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You can get parts at Powerbookmedic.com and iFixit.com web sites.  They also have installation instructions.  Maybe your abilities are good enough to do it yourself, then take a look.

Ciao.

    Hello Varshil07,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message, by updating your Mac you have forced stop, or you have closed the lid, and now it does not start.  To start, I suggest that try you to start in safe mode by following the instructions below.  For later use, it's a good idea to not force the computer to shut down or close the lid while it is up to date, because it can cause problems.

    1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.

    2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

    3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.

      You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

    4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    To exit safe mode, restart your Mac, but no press during the startup.

    OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

    Have a good.

  • Scratches on the Macbook pro retina screen.

    Hello

    I bought a Macbook pro 13 "in may 2015 Retina. In the last six months, I've noticed there are scratches that are developed not the screen. I do not use a cleaning on the screen lotion and dust with the brush dusting given to me by the retailer. He started with the corner of screens and finally spread on the screen.

    As such, there is no difference in the resolution of the screen, but I was wondering if the surface of the screen will crumble over time. Please let me know the solution for the same thing.

  • MacBook Pro freezes, screen starts shaking and shuts

    I am facing a problem that after starting to use the macbook for a few minutes. Screen suddenly starts to shake quickly. Everything freezes, and if all the sounds played, last moments will continue to repeat. This happens for like 10 seconds until the computer turns off completely. https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=jpvRcQLdWXc

    My MacBook pro is mid 2014 13 "version. I guess it started to happen after updating to 10.11.4. I tried to reinstall and the problem is still there. Test hardware receives no error. I figured it could be a heating problem. But after, it seems that this happens even at ordinary temperatures. This screenshot is just taken immediately after a crash.

    I fixed it by clearing the NVRAM.

    Here's how to reset your PRAM:

    1. Turn your machine off. Yes, while down, no sleep, or a disconnection.
    2. Press the power button and press command-option-p-r. ...
    3. Hold these keys down until your Mac what it charges again and you here the startup chime.
    4. Release the keys and let your Mac restarts normally.
  • What is the risk to replace a Macbook Pro Retina screen myself?

    Hi guys, this is my first post, I recently dropped my Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid A1502 2014 for laptop, it still works but the screen is broken, lines are widespread all over the screen, I recently bought a complete of the LCD Assembly for my model, I was just wondering how risky it would be for me to fix it yourself using information online I've read a few articles from Ifixit and the sides are very positive with people who have tried and succeeded. anyone has done this before and would you recommend to me?

  • MacBook Pro with screen Retina or normal MacBook Pro?

    HI, I want to buy a MacBook Pro, but I don't know what we should I buy, the retina or normal? I look at the series and videos from YouTube and I want to edit videos and my pictures if I buy one, so I thought that the retina it would be better for me, but it is too expensive. I want it with 512 ir 500g and but the MacBook Pro with retinal display costs $700 more. Also, I watched some YouTube videos that compared the MacBook Pro with Retina display vs the regular MacBook Pro. And the MacBook pro with the Retina display is faster. is there too much difference between the normal pro and the macbook with the Retina display? And there too much difference on the screen?

    If you have a normal MacBook Pro or a MacBook Pro with retina Display, please tell me your experience with it. Also tell me what I should buy.

    Thank you

    Your best option is to go to a store (Apple or reseller) and compare screens side by side.  Only then can you make an informed decision.

    The main differences between the two models is that the retina has no DVD player and cannot have put RAM at day after purchase and the PCIe SSD updated at great expense (which will also void any warranty).

    The non-retine can have the RAM has increased to a maximum 16 GB at a later date and may have installed later hard/SSD drives of up to 2 TB of capacity.

  • Mac Pro black screen and the cursor on startup

    My Mac Pro won't start. He begins the start but stalls on a black screen.  None of the fixes recommended work (I tried them all THE). As I finally understood, it's el Capitan does not like more than one monitor (I have three). When I unplug the two monitors, it starts fine. Yosemite has worked well with three screens, ElCapitan started very well that if I unplugged one of you watching her. The latest version requires me to unplug both monitors so that it can start up.

    What specific Mac Pro?

    What specific graphics cards are installed?

    Are these Mac-Flash cards? They need additional drivers?

  • Windows 7 Pro black screen with cursor on all modes and no login screen

    OK so basically, it's how, my laptop decided to me-screw right when I need to make some adjustments to my final project for next week.

    Friday he started very well in class and at the end of the course at 6:30, I stopped him. I normally don't that often stopped because I usually find myself opening upward in an hour later. But I did this time and when I got home and turned on around 9:00, it started like this:

    Screen Compaq PhoenixBIOS > Windows boot animation > black screen with cursor mobile, no login screen

    No screen connection. No sound. Not nothing but a black screen and the cursor movement. So I force shutdown and turned it back, this time he asked a chkdsk and I ran it. A ton of stuff file unreadable came and it took all night to run through it all. Tried to start again and Windows Error Recovery came and I tried all Modes of security and start normally and all produce the same black screen and the cursor with no login screen.

    Then I used my Windows 7 dvd repair to try and system restore to a week before. That's where I noticed that windows had installed a critical update at 12:00 on Friday. Tried to restore before that, but he failed. Gave me an error 0 x 80070057 and said I should run chkdsk /r and then try again. Then I used the cmd prompt through dvd repair and he has seen all these things wrong file again once recovered things then realized hours later. Tried to restore the system again. Still the same error. A run chkdsk again through the cmd prompt, then he went to clean without errors or orphaned files or anything, but it took a lot of time. I used the Startup Repair, and he has not found anything wrong either. But still the same error the system restore.

    So I looked around online for the last two days, trying to figure out and that someone said to try CTRL + Alt + Delete, the sticky shift key thing. So I tried to boot the system again, same black screen with cursor movement. I did CTRL + Alt + Delete, nothing. Press and hold the SHIFT key, and a pop-up window asked FilterKeys. Press the SHIFT key 5 times, a popup asked about sticky keys. But that's all I can get it to do. Nothing else. I tried to boot into safe mode with F8, chose, each of them and that changes in screen resolution and the words "safe mode" in all the corners of the screen. If the repair dvd's while I start in safe mode, it will open as well in safe mode, but with the same black background mode. Tried running sfc/scannow through repair invites cmd of the dvd and it says a system repair is pending and he had to restart, and then run the sfc/scannow. Tried, but it doesn't do anything when I restart except go to Windows Error Recovery asking either start in any safe mode or normally. And then it's just black screen again.

    So I am at a complete loss what to do now. After all of this mess, it seems that this Windows Update Friday afternoon did something and when I booted it upward once again, his cause nothing but problems. I think it has something to do with the display and the graphics card drivers? It's as if the thing starts but I do not see anything either because the sticky keys appears, but sees nothing else, no matter what I do. Seriously, I don't want to this junk because this is a new hard drive and I was just able to retrieve my files from my old hard drive that had epic failures as well. And I just got this new specifications I wanted as well.

    Laptop Spec:

    Compaq CQ50-115nr
    OS: Windows 7 Professional
    HARD drive: Western Digital Scorpio Blue 320 GB SATA WD3200BEVT
    Processor: AMD Turion X 2 RM-70
    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 8200 M G
    Memory: 3 GB RAM

    If someone could seriously help me I would be VERY happy.

    Hello

    This isn't good news.

    --------------------

    STOP: 0XC000021A

    Can be a difficult problem to solve, and you indeed need a technical help in a real store of the computer
    (not the leeks and the glances at a BestBuy or other BigBox stores) or system manufacturer support.

    Cause

    This error occurs when a subsystem of mode user, such as WinLogon or the Client Server Run-Time Subsystem (CSRSS), irremediably compromised and security can not be guaranteed. In response, the operating system goes into kernel mode. Microsoft Windows cannot run without WinLogon or CSRSS. Therefore, it is one of the rare cases where the failure of a user mode service can stop the system.

    Incompatible system files can also cause this error. This can happen if you restored your hard disk from a backup. Some backup programs may skip restoring system files which they determine are in use.

    Solve the problem

    Run the kernel debugger is not useful in this situation because the error occurred in a user mode process.

    Resolve an error in the user-mode device driver or system, third-party application service: Because the bug 0xC000021A control occurs in a user mode process, the most common culprits are third-party applications. If the error occurred after the installation of the new or updated device driver or service system, third-party applications, the new software should be removed or disabled. Contact the manufacturer of the software on a possible update.

    If the error occurs during the system startup, restart your computer, and then press F8 to character-based menu that displays the choice of operating system. In the Windows Advanced Options menu that results, select the last known good Configuration option. This option is most effective when a pilot or a service is added at a time. If the error is not resolved, try to manually remove the offending software. If the system partition is formatted with the (FAT) file allocation table, use a MS-DOS boot disk to access the hard disk of the computer. If the system partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, you may be able to use Safe Mode to rename or remove the defective software. If the defective software is used as part of the start-up procedure of the system Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file. If a room newly installed if material is suspected, remove it to see if that fixes the problem.

    Try running the emergency recovery disk (ERD) and allow the system to repair any errors that it detects.

    Solve a problem of file system do not match: If you have recently restored your hard disk from a backup, check if there is an updated version of the backup/restore program available from the manufacturer. Make sure that the latest Windows Service Pack is installed.

    It's my generic bluescreen convenience store - you can try Mode safe mode as suggested in article
    above - repeatedly press F8 that you start. Disks of Vista are probably necessary - if you do not try to repair it, you can borrow a friends because they are not protected against copying. You can also buy the physical disks
    good system machine cheap that you already own Windows (you have to reinstall them if)
    required). You can also repair disks on another computer.

    Here are a few ways to possibly fix the blue screen issue. If you could give the blue screen
    info that would help. Such as ITC and 4 others entered at the bottom left. And all others
    error information such as codes of STOP and info like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and similar messages.

    As examples:

    BCCode: 116
    BCP1: 87BC9510
    BCP2: 8C013D80
    BCP3: 00000000
    BCP4: 00000002

    or in this format:

    Stop: 0 x 00000000 (oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxooooooooo)
    Tcpip.sys - address blocking 0 x 0 00000000 000000000 DateStamp 0 x 000000000

    It is an excellent tool for displaying the blue screen error information

  • Problem with screen macbook pro black bar on the left

    I'm pretty new to owning a mac.  I went to pick him up today on my mac and the screen was just a bar unique black thumbs on the left side.  Then the rest of the screen changed between white and colors scrambled and now it's pink with mixed green bars.  It changes each time I try to reboot.  The strange part is that when I connect to my TV it works on my TV.  I don't know what to do.

    You have a hardware problem that can't be dealt with at an Apple store genius bar or a FSAA.  From your description, there is a problem with the display or display connection.  Make an appointment for a FREE evaluation.

At this time, I left and when I came back a few minutes later, the laptop is on, the lighting of the screen was on but the screen was black, the backlight of the keyboard was also turned on and everything else was off. Lights on/near the switch indicating if there turned on and connected to the AC are off.

    It was like that for more than 30 minutes now, no sign of progress. This happened to someone else before? I'm not very keen on must turn off or unplug the laptop while flashing the BIOS, but at this point there is not much else I can do.

  • MacBook pro white screen A1502

    I have macboook pro a1502. When I start the computer, I have white screen... And I expect in 5 minutes, the light of the LCD is on... But the screen remains white. I try to press the power button / stop + ctrl + opt + r + p no effect. I don't know how to try again. In my city no call center and I don't know where to fix my mac. I have in the West of Padang, sumatra Indonesia... Sorry my English so bad... Thank you

    Your Mac can do the simplest thing is to start with the down Option. This code here everything in ROM, and if you get the chime, your processor and a bit or RAM work as well.

    Startup option (also known as the name of the Boot Manager) draws a blank screen, then during several minutes, adds an icon for each potentially bootable Volume. If your drives are always answers and seem to be bootable, you should get two icons, one for Macintosh HD and one for recovery. If you have a heating engineer/DVD in the drive, which must also be indicated.
