Chosen Solution
Just got an old Macbook Pro from a friend which stated the screen was all white and nothing else but the chime. Verified the white screen and nothing else but that. Tried to clear with CMD+P+R but didn’t help, still only the chime (once) and randomly turning off the computer. Opened it up, checked cables and everything looked OK. Tried booting it up without the battery - the backlight on the keyboard started working, but nothing else. Replaced the RAM-modules (2x2GB) with 2x4GB, same with the old harddrive, replaced it with a Samsung EVO 840 120GB. Nothing…but the white screen. Plugged in the Mavericks USB install whilst having the harddrive unplugged…after about 30-40 seconds I heard a voice which was familiar from the installation guide. But the screen is still all white. Any ideas why this is - and how to resolve it? Sincerely, Fredrik
A white screen usually indicates a hard drive issue. I don’t know what was on the Samsung drive. The first thing I would do is replace the Hard Drive/ IR cable with a new one.
its an hdd problem and an ir problem fredrik it was 2011 when made don’t u see?
