Q: Mac Book Pro Black Screen

Apr 26, 2016 6:30 AMby norm123,Hello Imlegallyblind,
I understand that you are having issues with your MacBook Pro starting up. Let's see if we can get that going.
The first place I would start with is to look at the articles below. I will walk you through what to do when your Mac does not completely start up. You will either boot to OS X Recovery to use Disk Utility to verify the drive or use Single User mode to do the same thing.

Once you have verified that it is good and it still does not boot up, then you will want to reinstall OS X. The steps to do that are outlined below.

What about starting up in Single User Mode. Hold Command-S while starting up your Mac and then type in the prompts outlined in the article that I previously posted.

Apr 27, 2016 4:23 PMby Imlegallyblind,that didnt seem to work either. I booted it in single mode and couldnt see anything. I typed in the command line(wasnt sure if there was a space between k and the -fy) and then waited a little and typed in reboot. Nothing happened as expected. From the countless message boards and chats with apple support, none of them seem to have said this so, any other unique solutions ?

At that point, if none of that has worked out, then you would need to look at setting it up for service. You can do that by using the contact Apple Support link below.
