There may be a big problem with your computer apple macbook: that the screen has gone black and therefore you cannot use the laptop normally. We show you some options you can try to get everything back to normal before taking the device for technical service.
The options we will indicate are always effective in the following situations: no break the physics of the display, the panel itself, or any of the circuits that communicate it with the rest of the computer components. Otherwise, it is possible that you can fix the problem that happened to you that does not allow you to use the MacBook normally. In the meantime, we’re going to show you two possibilities. they are not dangerous but ideally you should be very careful as you proceed.
Solutions to fix black screen on MacBooks
One of the things that can happen for you to see the screen as we mentioned is that the operating system has stopped working properly and therefore the graphics card has stopped sending information to the panel. This inevitably makes everything appear black and therefore impossible to use, for example, the mouse.
This is usually fixed by restarting the computer, but obviously this is not easy to do since you don’t have access to the macOS menus. If you’ve tried to change the brightness in case this solves something, it’s best to use the key combination to perform the action we’re talking about (unfortunately, it’s very possible that active work is lost). Here’s what you need to do: press Simultaneous Command + Control (it is the key with the four-loop symbol) and also power button – depending on the model, this can be replaced by access to identity or expulsion element-.
If that doesn’t work, you can always try pressing the power button for 10 seconds and then wait about 30 seconds to turn the MacBook back on. This one is more aggressive than the previous one, but more effective.
A trick to use thanks to the laptop keyboard
There is a series of keystrokes that are unofficial but save more than one life if the computer screen is black. Of course, this only applies to models of the MacBook series. there is a power button and not Touch ID. What you need to do is what we show you below:
- Press the power button and a dialog will open that you will not see clearly.
- Now press the S key on the computer keyboard to put the computer to sleep. Now use the power button again for -10 seconds or more.
- Wait 20 seconds and turn the computer back on. It is possible that everything will return to normal, but this active work will be lost. But at least you can use the MacBook.
