Hey!
I foolishly dropped my mac book pro (~2011) last night while it was in a protective sleeve. Although I've done this once before with no issues, unfortunately things have gone awry.
It will start up (i.e. All the right lights will flash, the opening sound plays etc.) however the screen remains blank. It looks dark grey, which I think is probably the back light working, and it returns to black after it 'falls asleep', and then returns to bright if I hit space bar.
My first question, naturally, is if anyone has had this happen before/knows how to fix it.
My second question is, does anyone think I could extract my files from this computer? I'm writing my thesis and Subday is my back up day - which means I'm about to lose at least a week worth of work product!
Thanks so much for your help!
