Q: Blank white screen Mac Book Pro after login
Hi Everyone,
I have been searching this topic and multiple solutions for this specific issue and still have not came up with a solution. I currently have an early 2011 15" Mac Book Pro running El Capitan OSX. The Mac Book was running just fine for the past 5+ year until it froze up on me one day and when I attempted to restart the computer it booted back just fine. Then as usual it asked to input my password and so I did. After I pressed enter, it attempted to load with a loading bar filling up to the end of the bar and then the screen turned completely white or light gray, totally blank. I let the computer sit on that screen for over and hour and still nothing.
I have attempted the following solutions.
- Checked if ram was bad. No issues there.
- Checked the hard drive. No issues there, recently installed a brand new SSD and updated the firmware
- Reset the SMC
- Reset the PRAM
- Hold down the Option key
- Hold down the C key (for rEFIt)
- Battery powered, MagSafe powered...
- Booted into safe mode
- Plus many other suggestions I can't think of right now.
Any other solutions would be very helpful, THANKS!
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)
