The screen on my older (four years now) MacBook Pro 15" recently stopped turning on. It SEEMS like the laptop is working normally underneath (volume buttons make noise and shut down is capable with power button then enter). Also, if it helps, the Apple on the back of the cover also doesn't illuminate anymore. And I couldn't see anything when I tried to manually backlight the screen. I haven't had access to an external monitor yet to see if it shows up on that.
Anyway, I've heard a lot about resetting the PMU for these types of problems, but I wanted to make 100% sure that I wouldn't lose any data if I did that. Sounds like I wouldn't, but I want to be extra safe.
Furthermore, does anybody have any other suggestions for a problem like this? Thanks!
