Q: My MacBook Pro doesn't start up
HI,
My MacBook Pro was on sleep mode for around one week. I have opened the lid to woke it up, but didnt work, then connected it to power and turned it ON, but just heared the sound of chime and nothing happene, the display was completely black and nothing. Just the Caps Lock light could be ON, the fan worked and the sleep LED was ON when closing the lid.
AT first tried to start it up in safe mode by turning on and after chime sound, immediately pushing and hold the shift key, but again nothing.
Then tried to reset the NVRAM, by turning on and after the chime sound immediately press and hold the "command-option-P-R" keys, but again nothing happened.
Then tried to reset the SMC, by pressing left "shift-control-option" keys and turning on at same time, but unfortunately again just the chime sound and nothing happened.
unfortunately my last back up on time machine came back to 2 months ago and I have entered a lots of data during this period.
Can some one help me to solve the problem and start up my Mac.
The MB Pro is 15" late 2011 with OSX Yosemite
Greatly appreciated.
Hamed.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

A successful connection to the TV is also dependent upon correct TV settings. Check the TV manual/menus and make certain that it can receive the signals from the MBP correctly.
If the display shows an image, then it is NOT the GPU, but the MBp display or display connection. If there is no display image, then the GPU is the prime suspect.
Ciao.
