MacBook Pro: Intermittent Black Screen
Summary: I purchased my first MBP around 8 months ago. It's been fantastic to say the least! However, recently (last 3 days), I am experiencing an intermittent black screen issue. Unknown what is the cause, however as this MBP is used as the primary computer for work and play, it is essential this issue is diagnosed and fixed ASAP. Any input from Apple Gurus is much appreciated 🙂
Issue: During normal usage (not after sleep), the screen will suddenly appear black. A hard shutdown / restart is needed. Computer will bootup and continue lost session (if browser's were in use).
- Fans still running.
- Curser did not appear within the black screen.
- External monitor (by DVI connection) and mbp screen were both enabled.
- Issue is occurring with no external monitor attached as well. However, it is more prevalent when monitor is attached (note: 95% of time mbp is attached to external monitor).
Additional: I am aware of of the Nvidia card issues back in 2008. However, this more recent build is outside of that scope, yet the problem seems very similar.
- Apple Hardware Test was preformed yesterday. No issues found.
