Apple MacBook Pro with white screen at start up, help!
Hi Everyone,
I have been creating a powerpoint for a conference eI am presenting at next week and whilst working my Mac screen went temporarily distorted then turned white. I left it for a moment then held down the power button to reboot. On doing this it successfully got to the stage where i enter my password then displays the loading bar. Half way through loading it cut to white again and restated. I then repeated a few times, same results.
On looking at troubleshoot options online I have attempted the following techniques with no success:
Command-R power on: Goes straight to white screen after chime.
Command-option-R-P: Goes straight to white screen after chime and apple logo.
Command-shift: Get to the log in stage but then white screen.
Command-S and fsck -fy: Said mac was 'OK', rebooted and got white screen after chime and apple logo.
Connected to working mac using Thunderbolt cable: Successfully opened Target mode, but disk does not appear on working mac.
What else can I do?
There are no apple stores near me.
It is a 17" Mac Book Pro with El Capitain OS X (not sure which one) with no previous history of issues..
I hope someone can help.
