Hey,
My wife's early 2011 MBP has a problem. It is connected to an external monitor, which works fine (using it to post this), but the built-in laptop display is black. I have done all the restart stuff to reset PRAM, SMC, disconnected everything, &etc. There is absolutely nothing showing up on the built-in display, no backlight or logo.
I have not opened the case yet, since I have a feeling this is some sort of software issue. Can anyone think of any other non-invasive fixes, or should I go ahead and open the case to check the video cable?
new info: wife says this began after laptop was unplugged and ran battery down to near zero.
