Hi all,[br]
I have an early 2013 retina Macbook Pro that's stumped three rounds of apple geniuses. [br]
Symptoms:[br]
No display 75% of the time. I can hear the start chime, but no screen or back light. Occasionally I'll get the login page, but the screen will go black as it loads after login.[br]
I can consistently get to the diagnostics by holding command D at startup. Standard and extended diagnostics run and come back clean.[br]
Every other combination of pressing keys at startup does nothing. The screen never comes on. I did manage to get the apple logo and halfway through the loading bar once while pressing command R, then the screen went black. Three subsequent tries gave me nothing.
[br]
The third genius suggested it might be the logic board, but said he was guessing because nothing was showing on the diagnostics. He also said that the fact that the diagnostics come up consistently would indicate a software issue, but he didn't know how to wipe and reinstall without a display.
Any ideas?
