Screen goes black but MacBook is still on!
Hello, the problem is that when i work on my macbook often the screen goes black but the macbook is still on & if i look to the screen i see window & the mouse but i don't have light ... so to resolve this i close the screen then i re open & the screen is on but many times i'm forced to close / reopen 5 6 times or reboot the mac ! i don't know whats wrong ... the hardware test is OK ... :s
Update
i moved the screen many times to test if it is the cable, but the screen still black & when i do F1 / F2 the screen light on. The thing that i don't understand it why for sometimes & not always or often ... If i do an update from 10.5.8 to 10.6.3 it can resolve the problem ? i will test because i have the cd of the update ... i will reply next time.
Questa è una buona domanda?

I also have the same issue. Recently my MacBook began to die abnormally quickly, and now in the middle of use, the screen goes black as if i turned the brightness all the way down. I can still see activity if i shine a light on it, but i cannot see without it. I can presss F1 all the way, then slowly press F2 again, but it just goes black after about half a second. Very frustrating. Would I have the same issue with the inverter?

Is this a problem that can be caused by impact? I had a pedestrian decide to walk in front of my bike this morning causing me to come off with the Macbook in one of my panniers (padded by a bag and a thick coat). Twice today now the screen has gone black for a couple of seconds then woken up again when I mess around with the buttons and move it about (only found this thread after the second time so haven't determined what the problem is).
