  • MacBook Pro Screen Problems

    Posted on April 6th, 2008 Phil No comments

    My Macbook Pro is suffering with a screen related problem where the LED backlights misbehave from time to time.   Looking on the apple discussion board this seems to be a common problem with the new MacBook Pro (March 08).  

    Screen Backlight Issue

    Temporary Fix

    Press control-shift-eject, to force the display to turn off and reset.

    Press any key to restart the display.
