Re: iMacBook pro black screen
My husband tells me I am not normal. He says "you do realise not everyone just loads software and just gets on with it”…. and I reply when in doubt look at the manual :-) But in the next breath he will criticise me for the research I do before I actually buy anything.? I do point out my skills at just grasping things has earned us a lot of money. Years back I started a ten week course on Pagemaker. First night I got home 10pm at night and he opened the door before I could get to the handle…. handed me some A4s and said " I’ve made you a pot of tea see what you can do with this”.
I said something like “Fair go. I’ve only just learned how to cut ?up text.” But I did it.?
That first layout in Pagemaker got him a $30,000 job. I was told the person who received the proposal asked how it was done and he replied “ On a Mac”…..not exactly a lie. ?Next layout I did got a $170,000 contract for him and a colleague paid out in $10,000 increments. Sort of rather set us up really at the time…. and all done on a second hand Mac

I do say you’ll ruin that thing and you’ll be sorry (doesn’t quite have the reverence I do) ?… and I can see he’ll be looking to use my Mac while it’s gone :-)?
If it’s a bigger problem then yes would have to do replacement.

I did check in on Apple website about recalls etc re this MacBook 2015 vintage and it bobbed up and said it had already had repairs...... and jogging our combined memories it did have a battery replaced under a previous Apple recall.?
So looks like we are up for diagnosis to see if it's a frayed cable and possible battery. Battery would be easy solution, if it was to be motherboard might not be in the running for repair. Thanks for the reminder ?:-)?

Timing is all, when it comes to warranty repairs. My 2014-purchased 27in iMac’s supporting hinge (not sure what its proper name is) gave out three weeks before the end of a three-year shop warranty from John Lewis, so that got fixed. ?Harvey got a couple of repairs to a MacBook Pro under a recall that he had known nothing about until he looked online. ?I do hope yours is curable, as a dicky ‘puter is no fun at all. Best Susan Husband's Mac playing up - giving the black screen. Done all the usual things. Initially figured it might be frayed cable in the hinge area but after observing it for the last day or so despite its showing 100% battery charge its collapsing to 64% fairly quickly so figure we are going to be up for $200 battery plus diagnosis fee - eway out of warranty :-) 2015 model. Considering how he lugs it all over the house and I chastise him for being rough its turned out to be rugged.
