Early 2011 MBP Mavericks blank screen on startup
Hi everyone,
I went to use my MBP this morning like any other morning, except it didn't turn on. The screen remained black with the cursor able to move around. I tried hard restting it, and nothing. Same thing.
I've tried everything I can find:
- Reset PRAM
- Rest SMC - although no proof
- Swapped back to Apple RAM, no difference
- Booting into safe mode does the same thing, black screen with cursor
- Reinstalled Mavericks
- Connected external display - same black screen with cursor
- Boots into Windows via Bootcamp perfectly - fully functional
Unfortunately I can't make it to an Apple store easily, not beign under warranty, and finals weeks approaching I can't afford to not have my MBP. For now I can still use Windows, even though I prefer to get OSX working.
Any advice and anything I can try to get this functioning correctly? It has to be some sort of OSX conflict since Windows works fine?
Thanks!
MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), Mac OS 9.1.x
