  • Yes you probably will have to take it to their store.

    Apple support helped me as much as possible over the phone (resetting hardware etc.) but this wasn't the problem.

    Having collected video evidence, Apple had no choice but to agree that something was broken (even if only for 90% of the time). They gave my iMac a new LCD screen and all is now well.

  • No. But thanks for the comment.

    Energy saver, screen saver etc. are set to over 1 hour.

    Screen goes blank at random intervals and stays black for a random amount for time. Almost always happens within first 10minutes of using it whilst Im browsing, typing, clicking etc.

  • One of the iMacs at work just started doing this. Initially IT thought it was a driver issue. They brought it back and after about one week it started doing it again. Also, the left half of the screen went darker than the right half for weeks leading up to the display just going black. This time IT thinks it might be something requiring a complete replacement. I told the IT guy to run it down to the local Apple store and I'm sure they'd handle it. He seemed to agree.

  • Buy a new pc thts it

  • My old mac had the same problem. Had Apple look at it and they diagnosed an inverter problem and changed it. The inverter powers the screen and if it is faulty then this black screen of death happens!

  • Mine does the same thing. I have only 1 month left on the warranty. It started doing it last week. I reset the SMC and PRAM but it still does it. It just happens randomly. The computer is still running when it happens. The sound still plays. There is no software crash or anything like that. The screen just turns black and stays that way no matter what I do. I don't know what you did to get your screen to wake up in the video. I guess I have to take it back in before the warranty expires.

  • Mine does this same thing and it is less than a year old - took it today, will see what happens??? Still under warranty so far....

  • It just "DOSNET work"

    Apple you SUCK.

  • @FinancialBondage Hows your iMac now ?. Mines been crashing / freezing for months.

    About time I go back to PC maybe ?, Did you fix yours ?

  • i have that too but after i reboot its gone?

  • Why do you buy this things again???
