Black screen on MacBook Pro? It"s the situation that you hope will never happen, and when it does, it often seems to be at the worst possible time. We rate Apple"s MacBooks among the best laptops for creatives, and we"ve found them to be very reliable on the whole. But as with any laptop or desktop computer, sometimes things can go wrong.

A lack of any sign of activity on your MacBook Pro screen is perhaps one of the most worrying issues you can face when booting up your device. You"re likely to immediately start to worry about how much it will cost to fix, but let"s not panic yet. Take a deep breath, and try the tips below before you fork out for a repair or take a trip to your nearest Apple Authorised Service Provider or store.

We won"t deny that a MacBook Pro black screen can sometimes be bad news, but often it"s not actually such a big deal and can be fixed quite easily. Many of our writers and creative contributors use MacBooks day in, day out, so it"s a problem we"ve come across a few times. Below, we"ll suggest the series of steps that we usually try if we"re faced with a black screen on MacBook Pro.

A blank screen of any kind, (black, grey, or blue), will appear once or more when you startup of your device, but if your MacBook gets stuck on a blank screen, these steps may just bring it back to life, whether you"re using the laptop"s own screen or an external display. On that note, if you"re looking for a bigger screen, see our pick of the best monitors for MacBook Pro. We also have a roundup of the best MacBook Pro deals in case you decide it"s time to upgrade your laptop.

Any number of issues can cause a MacBook Pro black screen. Sometimes it can happen waking your laptop from sleep, and sometimes it can be caused by broke disk permissions or a software error. Below we"ll outline the steps to try if the problem is a black, or otherwise blank screen, on your MacBook Pro"s own display. If your problem is with an external monitor, skip to how to fix a black screen on a MacBook Pro external monitor.

OK, so you"ve probably done this, but just to be sure check the power. It can be a big relief to discover the issue is something as simple as this. If you"re running on battery, connect your laptop to its charger just in case the battery has run down. Check the power indicator light shows so you can rule out a faulty power cable. It’s also possible that you (or your cat) might have unintentionally hit the brightness keys on the keyboard at some point at that you screen is simply dimmed. Hit F2 or use the control bar to try increasing the brightness on your MacBook Pro.

If you"ve confirmed that the laptop is receiving power and you"ve ruled out the possibility of interference from peripheral devices, the next thing to try is a simple restart. Pressing Control + Command (the symbol with four loops) + Power/Eject/Touch ID button(depending on your model) should automatically restart your device. Alternatively, hold the power button for 5 seconds to shut down your MacBook Pro, wait 15 seconds and then press the button again to reboot. Fingers crossed.

Still no luck? Then try a forced reset. Sometimes a good old-fashioned hard restart is all it takes to fix all kinds of MacBook issues. On an Apple-chipped MacBook Pro (M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max), press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds. You should see the startup options window, which includes a gear icon labelled Options. Select Options and Continue. If the options window doesn"t appeal, release the power button, and press and hold it again for another 10 seconds.

On an Intel-chipped MacBook Pro, press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds, then press and release the power button and immediately press and hold Command + R until you see an Apple logo or other image. If you still see a blank screen after about 20 seconds, it"s time to move on. If this does recovers your screen, it"s worth running Disk Utility to check for errors. If Disk Utility finds errors and repair them, restart your MacBook again afterwards.

This isn"t official from Apple, but years of MacBook lore claim that a particular key sequence can sometimes revive a non-reacting blank MacBook Pro screen. Press power button once, Press "S" (the sleep hotkey), and then hold the power button to perform a hard shut down. Wait 15 seconds and press the button to restart. We have no idea why this works, but plenty of people have vouched for it.

MacBook Pro Safe Mode allows you to start you MacBook without other launch agents booting up. This can eliminate the potential for issues with other apps and services interfering and preventing your screen from displaying correctly.

To boot into Safe Mode, power off and let your MacBook Pro sit for 20 seconds. Turn it on again and immediately hold down the Shiftkey. Release the Shift key when the login window appears. You should see "Safe Boot" in the upper right corner of the window. Sometimes you may be asked to login twice, and your computer may take a longer than usual to start while it carries out diagnostics. After it"s completely booted up, you can restart again in normal startup and see if the black screen is fixed.

If that doesn"t work, it"s time to start turning to more technical solutions. NVRAM (non-volatile random-access memory) and PRAM (Parameter RAM) are small memory partitions that store settings like volume control and display resolution. Sometimes they encounter issues and require resetting. To do that, power down then hit the power button again to boot up you MacBook. Immediately hold down Option + Command + P + R at the same time while the machine boots, and keep holding them down until you hear the startup chime (around 2 seconds)

The Mac"s Systems Management Controller (SMC) controls things like temperature, keyboard, display and fans. Resetting the SMC is another possible quick fix to resolve a black screen on MacBook Pro. Turn of your MacBook and unplug it for at least 15 seconds before plugging in again. Then, with the power still off, hold down Shift + Option + Control + the power button all together. Release the keys when your MacBook starts booting up.

The steps above should help you resolve a MacBook Pro black screen, but if your laptop"s own screen is working but an external monitor is blank, there are other things to try.

It may seem obvious, but first check the power on your external monitor and then check you connections. Most MacBook Pros only offer Thunderbolt/USB-C connectors for external monitors, so if you"re using a monitor with a different connection, you"ll need to check your adapter or dock too. If you find that the external display doesn"t turn on after you connect it, try connecting your display while your MacBook is turned off, and then switch your MacBook on.

The black screen on a MacBook Pro external monitor may be caused by simply closing your laptop. By default, this automatically puts your MacBook Pro to sleep. If you want to be able to close the lid of your MacBook Pro but still use the laptop via an external monitor, you"ll need to change some settings. Go to System Preferences > Battery > Energy Saver > Power Adapter, and move the slider to Never. Note that you"ll also need to have a keyboard and either a mouse or trackpad connected to your MacBook Pro or it will still sleep on closing the lid.

If the external monitor display is still blank go to System Preferences > Displays. You can press the Alt/option key to bring up the "Detect Displays" button. Click on "Detect Displays", to prompt your MacBook Pro to recognise the external monitor. See our guide to how to connect a monitor to MacBook Pro for more details on using an external monitor and see our guide to the best dock for MacBook Pro to expand your connection options.

The MacBook Pro is a line of Mac notebook computers by Apple Inc. Introduced in January 2006, it is the higher-end model of the MacBook family, sitting above the consumer-focused MacBook Air. It is currently sold with 13-inch, 14-inch, and 16-inch screens, all using variants of the Apple-designed M1 and M2 system on a chip.

The first-generation MacBook Pro used the design of the PowerBook G4, but replaced the PowerPC G4 chips with Intel Core processors, added a webcam, and introduced the MagSafe power connector. The 15-inch model was introduced in January 2006; the 17-inch model in April. Later revisions added Intel Core 2 Duo processors and LED-backlit displays.

The second-generation model debuted in October 2008 in 13- and 15-inch variants, with a 17-inch variant added in January 2009. Called the "unibody" model because its case was machined from a single piece of aluminum, it had a thinner flush display, a redesigned trackpad whose entire surface consisted of a single clickable button, and a redesigned keyboard. Updates brought Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and introduced Intel"s Thunderbolt.

The third-generation MacBook Pro was released in 2012: the 15-inch in June, a 13-inch model in October. It is thinner than its predecessor, made solid-state storage (SSD) standard, added HDMI, and included a high-resolution Retina display. It eliminated Ethernet and FireWire ports and the optical drive.

The fourth-generation MacBook Pro, released in October 2016, adopted USB-C for all data ports and power and included a shallower "butterfly"-mechanism keyboard. On all but the base model, the function keys were replaced with a touchscreen strip called the Touch Bar with a Touch ID sensor integrated into the power button.

Another revision to the fourth generation was released in November 2020; it was the first MacBook Pro to feature an Apple-designed system on a chip, the Apple M1.

The fifth-generationM1 Pro or M1 Max chips, they are the first to be available only with an Apple silicon system on a chip. This generation re-introduced MagSafe, function keys, and some other elements that had been removed from previous models.

Alongside the redesigned fourth-generation MacBook Air, Apple rereleased the fourth-generation MacBook Pro to include the Apple M2 chip. The model features the same chassis, albeit with changes to the system audio: speakers compatible with Spatial Audio and a headphone jack with support for high-impedance headphones.

The first-generation MacBook Pro used the design of the PowerBook G4, but replaced the PowerPC G4 chips with Intel Core processors,iSight webcam, and introduced the MagSafe power connector. The optical drive was shrunk to fit into the slimmer MacBook Pro; it runs slower than the optical drive in the PowerBook G4 and cannot write to dual-layer DVDs.Intel Core 2 Duo processors, and LED-backlit displays, and 17-inch did in 2008.Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT video cards"Penryn" cores while adding multi-touch capabilities to the trackpad.

Both the original 15- and 17-inch model MacBook Pro computers come with ExpressCard/34 slots, which replace the PC Card slots found in the PowerBook G4. Initial first-generation 15-inch models retain the two USB 2.0 ports and a FireWire 400 port but drop the FireWire 800,802.11a/b/g.802.11nBluetooth 2.1.

Models of the MacBook Pro built from 2007 to early 2008 (15") / late 2008 (17") using the Nvidia 8600M GT chip reportedly exhibited failures in which the GPU die would detach from the chip carrier, or the chip would detach from the logic board.

On October 14, 2008, in a press event at company headquarters, Apple officials announced a new 15-inch MacBook Pro featuring a "precision aluminum unibody enclosure" and tapered sides similar to those of the MacBook Air.optical disc drive slot from the front to the right side, similar to the MacBook.

During the MacWorld Expo keynote on January 6, 2009, Phil Schiller announced a 17-inch MacBook Pro with unibody construction. This version diverged from its 15-inch sibling with an anti-glare "matte" screen option (with the glossy finish standard) and a non user-removable lithium polymer battery.

Thunderbolt technology, Sandy Bridge dual-core Intel Core i5 and i7 (on the 13-inch model) or quad-core i7 (on the 15- and 17-inch models) processors, and a high-definition FaceTime camera were added on February 24, 2011. Intel HD Graphics 3000 come integrated with the CPU, while the 15- and 17-inch models also utilize AMD Radeon HD 6490M and Radeon HD 6750M graphics cards. Later editions of these models, following the release of OS X Lion, replaced the Expose (F3) key with a Mission Control key, and the Dashboard (F4) key with a Launchpad key. The chassis bottoms are also engraved differently from the 2010 models.serial bus platform can achieve speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s,USB 3.0 specification, 20 times faster than the USB 2.0 specification, and up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800.

Early and late 2011 models with a GPU; 15" & 17"; reportedly suffer from manufacturing problems leading to overheating, graphical problems, and eventually complete GPU and logic board failure. A similar but nonidentical problem affected iMac GPUs which were later recalled by Apple. This "will repair affected MacBook Pro systems, free of charge". The program covered affected MacBook Pro models until December 31, 2016, or four years from original date of sale.

The Retina models also have fewer user-accessible upgrade or replacement options than previous MacBooks. Unlike in previous generations, the memory is soldered onto the logic board and is therefore not upgradable. The solid state drive is not soldered and can be replaced by users, although it has a proprietary connector and form factor.pentalobe screws and cannot be disassembled with standard tools. While the battery is glued in, recycling companies have stated that the design is only "mildly inconvenient" and does not hamper the recycling process.

On March 9, 2015, the 13-inch model was updated with Intel Broadwell processors, Iris 6100 graphics, faster flash storage (based on PCIe 2.0 × 4 technology), faster RAM (upgraded from 1600MHZ to 1866MHZ), increased battery life (extended to 10 hours), and a Force Touch trackpad.5120 × 2880 displays.

In June 2019, Apple announced a worldwide recall for certain 2015 15" MacBook Pro computers after receiving at least 26 reports of batteries becoming hot enough to produce smoke and inflict minor burns or property damage. The problem affected some 432,000 computers, mostly sold between September 2015 and February 2017. The company asked customers to stop using their computers until Apple could replace the batteries.

In September 2019, India"s Directorate General of Civil Aviation said MacBook Pro computers could dangerously overheat, leading the national carrier Air India to ban the model on its flights.

Apple unveiled fourth-generationheadquarters on October 27, 2016. All models, except for the baseline 13-inch model, featured the Touch Bar, a new multi-touch-enabled OLED strip built into the top of the keyboard in place of the function keys. The Touch Bar is abutted on its right by a sapphire-glass button that doubles as a Touch ID sensor and a power button. The models also introduced a "second-generation" butterfly-mechanism keyboard whose keys have more travel than the first iteration in the Retina MacBook. The 13-inch model has a trackpad that is 46% larger than its predecessor while the 15-inch model has a trackpad twice as large as the previous generation.

All ports have been replaced with either two or four combination Thunderbolt 3 ports that support USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 and dual DisplayPort 1.2 signals,macOS on MacBook Pro blacklists (prevents from working) certain classes of Thunderbolt 3-compatible devices.graphics processing units (eGPU) was added in macOS High Sierra 10.13.4.3.5 mm headphone jack; the TOSLINK functionality of older-generation MacBook Pro computers has been removed.

Other updates to the MacBook Pro include dual- and quad-core Intel "Skylake" Core i5 and i7 processors, improved graphics, and displays that offer a 25% wider color gamut, 67% more brightness, and 67% more contrast. All versions can output to a 5K display; the 15-inch models can drive two such displays. The 15-inch models include a discrete Radeon Pro 450, 455 or 460 graphics card in addition to the integrated Intel graphics. The base 13-inch model has function keys instead of the Touch Bar, and just two USB-C ports. The flash storage in the Touch Bar models is soldered to the logic board and is not upgradeable, while in the 13-inch model without Touch Bar, it is removable, but difficult to replace, as it is a proprietary format of SSD storage.

On June 5, 2017, Apple updated the line with Intel Kaby Lake processors and newer graphics cards. A 128 GBCoffee Lake quad-core processors in 13-inch models and six-core processors in 15-inch models, updated graphics cards, third-generation butterfly keyboards that introduced new symbols for the control and option keys, Bluetooth 5, T2 SoC Chip, True Tone display technology, and larger-capacity batteries.

A blank screen (black, blue, or gray) should appear once or more during startup. If you see your MacBook Pro booting black screen, something might be a miss.

A lack of any sign of activity on your MacBook Pro screen is perhaps one of the most worrying issues you can face when booting up your device. You"re likely to immediately start to worry about how much it will cost to fix, but let"s not panic yet. Take a deep breath, and try the tips below before you fork out for a repair or take a trip to your nearest Apple Authorised Service Provider or store.

Nothing can cause panic during the system booting of a Mac, like a screen completely going black. Should you encounter a MackBook black screen while rebooting your MacBook Pro, the following could be the causes:

But these are not the only reasons. A motherboard failure can cause some unknown reasons. Depending on the age and model of your Mac computer (Be it a Mac mini, iMac, MacBook Air, or a MacBook Pro), except for the black screen of death, you might see a blank, gray, or blue screen.

If you"ve confirmed that the laptop is receiving power and you"ve ruled out the possibility of interference from peripheral devices, the next thing to try is a simple restart. Pressing Control + Command (the symbol with four loops) + Power/Eject/Touch ID button(depending on your model) should automatically restart your device. Alternatively, hold the power button for 5 seconds to shut down your MacBook Pro, wait 15 seconds and then press the button again to reboot. Fingers crossed.

On an Apple-chipped MacBook Pro (M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max) Press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds. You should see the startup options window, which includes a gear icon labelled Options. Select Options and Continue.If the options window doesn"t appeal, release the power button and press and hold it again for another 10 seconds. If you started up from macOS Recovery, you should see a utility window that includes Disk Utility.

On an Intel-chipped MacBook Pro, press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds, then press and release the power button and immediately press and hold Command + R until you see an Apple logo or other image. If you still see a blank screen after about 20 seconds, it"s time to move on. If this does recovers your screen, it"s worth running Disk Utility to check for errors. If Disk Utility finds errors and repair them, restart your MacBook again afterwards.

If you Mac boots, the black screen may go away and the MacBook Pro or MacBook Air may go back to normal, however, if it doesn"t, try a keypress sequence to ditch the black screen.

If you run into this unusual issue with your Mac, use one or all of these solutions to sort out the problem. These solutions work for MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, and Mac Mini.

Yes. In most cases, you can fix the MacBook black screen of death using the solutions we"re highlighted in this article. For example, Sometimes the black screen on Mac is as a result of corrupt information on the startup disk. A simple solution for this is to force your Mac to run diagnostics on the disk by booting it in safe mode. Also, If your Mac is on yet the screen stays dark, have a go at pressing the power button once, then press the S key. That is the easy route key to take care of the Mac. Then, hold down the power key until the Mac turns itself off. Stand by 15 seconds and plug it back on.

I"ve a A1502 macbook pro late 2013 with damaged 13" retina display. There is another A1278 macbook pro with 13" display. I am getting this laptop way cheaper than the screen replacement. I was wondering if i could use an A1278 screen to replace with my A1502 screen. Is it possible? Are there any hardware differences? Maybe difference in the wire connector on board? Or any compatibility issues?

Nothing can be more terrible than finding your MacBook Pro dead or being stuck with a black screen. While Apple’s notebook excels in delivering top-notch performance, it also has a history of being embroiled in stubborn issues. But fret not; this is where our pro tips come in handy. Whether your MacBook Pro refuses to turn on or seems to get stuck at the Apple logo, these viable solutions can help you in fixing your ill-functioning device.

Well, if your MacBook Pro would not turn on, then it could be due to more than one reason. For instance, it could be due to a faulty charging cable, a damaged power adapter or a software or hardware problem with the device.

There can be several issues that could be preventing your MacBook Pro from starting up normally. Let us take a look at the possibilities and see how you can resolve them easily.

First thing first, check your MacBook Pro’s charging cable and adapter. Make sure that the Magsafe charger is fitting properly in the jack and is not loose. Also, ensure that the cable is not damaged. A faulty cable can not only cause issues with charging but can also damage the charging port, and even the battery in some cases.

Apart from the charging cable, double-check the adapter and make sure it is not getting too hot while charging. If possible, try to use a different power adapter and cable to charge your dead MacBook Pro and see if it is taking charge and if it boots up.

If using a new or a different power adapter does not help then there is a strong chance of the problem being at the other end of the connection and not with the cable. A faulty DC/Charging Jack or a service battery might be preventing your device from starting up. In this case, it is best to contact a reliable MacBook repair service centre to help you with diagnosing and fixing the issue accurately.

Resetting the SMC (System Management Controller) can often fix certain issues related to battery, power, fan and some other features too. So, if you are still unable to turn on your MacBook Pro or your Apple notebook appears to have gotten frozen at the Apple logo, it would be apt to give this solution a try.

To get going, plug in the power cable and then press the Shift + Ctrl + Option/Alt keys and the power button simultaneously and hold them for at least 10-12 seconds. Next, release all the keys and then press the power button to try and restart your MacBook. If there was a minor issue with power or battery which was preventing your device from booting up, that should get resolved and the MacBook should start up successfully.

Another reliable solution for fixing a dead MacBook Pro or an ill-functioning MacBook Pro that won’t turn on is resetting the PRAM/NVRAM. For those unfamiliar with the terms, NVRAM (Non-volatile Random-Access Memory) and PRAM (Parameter RAM) are the areas in the memory of the device that store data such as volume settings, startup disk selection, screen resolution and even kernel panic information. Resetting them often fixes several minor issues which may be preventing your device from starting up.

To get going, hold down Command, Option (Alt), P, and R, keys at once and turn on the device. Make sure to hold down the keys until MacBook restarts again. Better still, let it restart twice. Then, release the keys at once. Now, your MacBook should restart normally if the issue was with the NVRAM/PRAM.

Though the M1-powered MacBook Pro does come with NVRAM, it works a bit differently on the device. Notably, Apple’s M1-equipped MacBooks feature parameter memory where you can view and customize settings with the terminal command NVRAM. However, they don’t allow resetting NVRAM.

If your MacBook is not completely dead but has been stuck with a white, blue or grey screen then you can try the below step to run the Disk Utility to fix any issues with your disk drive, which could be preventing it from booting up properly.

When your MacBook starts in Recovery Mode, you will have access to Utilities. Now, click on the Disk Utility and find the notebook’s drive (Macintosh HD) and select it.

In the Recovery Mode, you can also restore your MacBook from a Time Machine backup or install/reinstall macOS. Once you have restored your MacBook from the latest backup, the issue should be behind you.

Hopefully, you were successful in fixing your MacBook Pro which was not turning on or was facing the dead issue. Since the above-mentioned methods have helped many users, we expect them to work for you as well.
