Hello everyone,
I'm hoping someone has had this issue, for the right reasons.
New Macbook Pro, less than a year old. This started two months ago. I travel, so I use the computer for work, but I also watch DVD's while flying. When I have stopped the DVD, closed the DVD window, and shut down the computer, I get a black screen when trying to start it up again. I have to turn it on and off again until I can finally get he DVD to eject. I have to shut it down agin, and when I re-start it, it opens-no problem.
To by-pass the problem, I made sure I removed the DVD before shut down. That was working. Two days ago, with NO DVD in the drive, I got the black screen on start up. I could not get the computer to start at all, just a black screen. When I shut it down, I can here something mechanical 'clicking' when it powers down. I am fairly certain the optical drive is interfering with the start up process.
Took it to a local repair place, found on Apple's website, and they could not get the problem to re-occur. So now I'm stuck with a phantom problem, a new computer and nothing to document as a problem. I'm sure I'll be told to leave it at the local Apple store until the problem happens agian, that could be a month from now.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!;D
