Black Screen, no startup sound

Aha! I had this problem the other day. Here’s how I got my screen to work again.

  1. With the MagSafe and the battery in, home the power button down for 10 seconds.
  2. Remove the battery and MagSafe charger and wait 2 seconds
  3. After 2 seconds is up, put the MagSafe charger in, you should get a spontaneous reboot.

That somehow solved my issue with my MBP's screen not working after replacement , hopefully it solves your issue.

No luck on that solution. I also tried swapping memory.

Let’s be sure it is 100% an issue with the screen. Connect your MBP to an external monitor and tell us if you see anything.
