My computer monitor stays black but I can hear the sounds of start up
and when hitting keys. How can I fix this?
Use a Flashlight up close at various angles, do you see a faint Desktop?
OK...upon further investigation, I had the login screen, could type in my login, and see the Desktop...had to look very closely with the flashlight. So...that tells me the computer is working, but having a display/brightness issue. Tried the brightness keys to no avail. Does that help?
You'll have to have it looked at, at the very least it sounds like the backlight is shot, but stopping at the Apple Logo is a sign of further problems.
When I turn it on, I hear the startup jingle music, and with a flashlight can see a faint apply logo in the middle of the screen, but no other items on the desktop. When I turn off holding the power button, the apple logo goes away.
Yes, that is a god sign, but you still need the backlight fixed, or an external Monitor.
Making any headway?
