Macbook Pro 13" 2011 screen scrambled on boot up.
When I opened my MBP last night after it being asleep all day (as it usually is), nothing happened. The screen was black and there was no sound.
I pressed the power button to start it up and nothing happened. I pressed it a few more times and still nothing. I then picked it up and noticed the area near the hings (battery?) was getting hot and when I got close to it I could hear the fan going, but still the screen was black and no sounds were coming from it. I held the power button to shut down and let it rest and cool down.
I tried turning it on again later and the screen lit up and shower the apple logo as usual. Yay! But then the screen scrambled like a glitchy nintendo cartridge. I shut it down again and found that I could try resetting the SMC. After it cooled down, I attempted the SMC after which it got stuck on the white apple screen for over 10 minutes. I forced shutdown again.
I tried the reset one more time and this time the charger blinked a different color as I read it should and an apple load bar screen appeared. Only to be replaced with scrambles again.
I would HATE to have to pay tons of money for this and/or lose my info and work tool.
Please help! 😟
Thank you!
MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
