[QUOTE="vinnymac001, post: 955492, member: 130109"] Hey there, It's my first post, so go easy on me! So I'm not sure what happened, but on my new 13 inch Mid 2009 MacBook Pro, I got a sudden black screen. After a few seconds I moved around on my trackpad, and the mouse cursor appeared. I kinda panicked and held down my power button, shut down and restarted. After restarting, I searched for a kernel panic thing "panic.log" in my finder, but nothing... so i'm hoping that means it wasn't a kernel panic. After restarting the computer works just fine, although it has only been an hour since the incident. I'm wondering if this is common, if this was just a weird crash, if this has happened to anyone at all? I'm still under the complimentary 90-day apple care protection, so I'm planning on calling them tomorrow to figure this out, but was looking for some info in the meantime. Also I looked at the console, and saw it had saved a crash report, but when I followed the path, there was none to be found (only one I had before with Microsoft Word, and in that Finder just restarted, the screen didn't go black or anything.) Any help would be appreciated! Thanks [/QUOTE]
