Macbook Black Screen On Startup

Good day everyone.


I was using my Macbook Pro earlier today and when I was finished with my work I simply shut it down using the option in the top left. I am now attempting to turn on my laptop and all I am getting is the boot-up sound and a black screen with backlighting.


However, I am able to use the laptop on an external monitor AND I am even able to use my actual Macbook laptop screen when I restart with bootcamp and use Windows! Obviously something bizarre has happened within my laptop's settings and something is going wrong with OSX.


I have used everyone key combination possible when restarting my Mac, from resetting the PRAM to SMC. I am just baffled! I am not terribly worried as I discovered that the display at least works with Windows. Worst case scenario I may have to do a restore of my laptop, but that would be very inconvenient.


Please let me know if you guys have any ideas. Thank you!

(P.S. My Macbook is fully up to date and is running Sierra 10.12.2)
