  • Display goes, black, I reboot and the computer doesn’t

    Posted by Kyle Graves on December 14, 2010 at 3:34 pm

    I have a Mac Pro connected to two cinema displays(19 inch I think). On November 29, my computer went black after not using it for about a minute. I hit the space bar and the screen was still black, computer unresponsive. I powered off, then restarted and the computer would not reboot. The fan kept blowing until I powered off. Did it again, and again and again. I tried switching keyboards, same problem. I tried a different monitor, same problem. I brought the computer to a Apple store where they cleaned it(vacuumed the inside) and said everything checks out. I’m not sure the problem is fixed. Any ideas on what it might be or what else I can do?

    Did they turn it on and it booted up fine there?

    Well you haven’t said it it is currently working. Does it still have the issue even after taking it to Apple?
