Does anyone know what could be wrong with the screen on my apple mac book pro 17 inch ?

Question

The screen lights up but stays blank, before this happened my mouse and keyboard would occasionally stop working becuase the notebook would heat up too much. Then my screen just went blank one time , i tried rebooting but i cant. The notebook turns on and you could hear it working only thing is that the screen remains lit but blank anyone got any idea what it could be?

Answer 1

Try booting from another device (external hard drive with an OS installed or from an OS disk.

Try hooking your computer up to an external monitor. If you are able to see a picture, then you need a new LVDS cable or LCD. If not, then you maybe need a new Logic Board (mother board) or you might have a software/hard drive problem.
