[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1745051, member: 46727"] Welcome to our forums. First, you need to understand what happens when your Mac uses Safe Mode: Safe mode shuts down all third party kexts (drivers) and start up programs. It also stops sound from working. That tells us since your MacBook Pro works in safe mode, that there is likely a third party program or driver that is causing the problem. You need to play detective and find it. Start by going into System Preferences, Users & Groups, Login Items, and remove everything listed there. You'll need to click on the small lock and enter your password first. You mentioned liquid damage... did you spill anything on your MacBook Pro? Also, if you are running any kind of Mac cleanup software or anti-virus software, uninstall it as it's not needed. Let us know how you're getting along with this. [/QUOTE]
