[QUOTE="ta70s, post: 1571193, member: 41716"] Hi, This morning I opened my "LATE 2012" MB pro from overnight sleep to a black screen and the cursor, pressing any buttons results in the "thud" chime. The Volume and Brightness buttons work. I googled the problem but found only info regarding the MBA from a few years ago. I shut the MB down, waited and turned it back on. Starts up fine then same black screen instead of login window. I restarted again this time in Disk utilities mode, the HD is ok according to that. So now I'm reinstalling Mavericks in hope of a fix. But it says it will take 19 hours. I haven't done the latest update yet if that helps. Is there anything I can do? That's faster than reinstalling? Thanks Edit: I don't have a back up for this HD. Is there a way to copy two folders from my desktop to a USB stick? [/QUOTE]
