I hear the initial "turning on" sound, buy after that there is nothing.
What is wrong and how can I fix it?
This has just happened to my computer, one minute i was using it, one minute the screen went black. I thought i just needed to reboot it so i held down the power button to shut it down and then restarted it. I heard the same start up sound however i saw nothing on the screen. But after looking a bit closer i realised that the stuff on the screen WAS there but so so so faint. I also found that when i pushed f1 (lower brightness) all the way down and then back up again with f2 my screen would come up as normal for a split second. When i kept doing this (back and forth on the brightness) it eventually stayed bright in short time periods so i eventually could navigate my way to the system preferences and this is what I changed:
> Apple button (top left corner)
> System preferences
> Hardware > Energy Saver
> Untick everything under the "Power Adapter tab"
> Put the Computer sleep and Display sleep to "Never" by moving the time slider to the right
> Do the same thing for the "Battery" tab
This has worked for me so far so I just wanted to let other people know that are having the same problem. Before I did this i was contemplating taking it to the Apple store like everyone else and paying 200 quid to get it fixed. Glad I played around with it first though and I hope this means other people will be able to fix their ones too!
With the flashlight I was able to see the screen! Now to try and get the brightness back.

Perfect, you saved the day with this fix for me!!!!!
I have a MacBook Pro laptop. Turn on to a black screen with cursor .
The logo actually gets it's 'light' from the lcd/led panel...so if the screen doesn't turn on, no logo.
