[QUOTE="rion205, post: 1141014, member: 179215"] Oh I figured it out. The resolution for when my external wasn't plugged in was causing my mbp to be at a resolution that wouldn't work (causing the black screen). I plugged in my external monitor, opened up the display options and made sure my cursor was near the resolution options. After unplugging my external, I just clicked and used the arrow keys to change the resolution back to its original, causing the screen to come back again. [/QUOTE]
