My dad has a MacBook Pro and the screen suddenly went black. He tried hooking up a projector and the projector was blank. He got an appointment at the Apple Store and that’s where I am now. The Apple guy was amazed by the problem and tried everything we did. He zapped the PRAM and hooked up a monitor, with nothing happening. Luckily, the computer was able to do a Time Machine backup last night, so if the drive fails he’s safe. They are going to have to send the computer in and have it fixed. I will say what happens later.
UPDATE: We got the machine back and it seems to be working fine. I will let you know if something interesting happens. Stay tuned for the Christmas special.
