Q: Black Screen while computer is one Macbook Pro 15 - 2010
very frustrated at this because i just spent 300 dollars for other multiple graphic fix problems for my mac just 3 months ago.
this morning i woke up to my macbook pro screen being just black while the rest of the computer is functioning (when i restart it i can hear it start up, DVD drive and the keyboard lights work), i brought it in to tiger tech (mizzou tech store) where they tried to do the Command + Option + P and R option and it did not fix it. I then called mac and we tried that again as well as they gave me a different set of buttons to press which still did not work. When i plug it into a computer cord it will pull up on a different screen but not it's own... apple said it would be 600 to fix but i have a macbook pro 15 in from 2010 and i have been googling the issue and seeing a lot of things i find that should really render this something they fix for free.
