Question from Angela S.: I hope you can help me with a computer problem, Rick.
I have a 2016 model 15″ MacBook Pro that has always worked perfectly till last night.
When I turned it on this morning the screen stayed black. Everything else seems to be working.
I tried closing and opening the lid a few times and turning the machine off and on but it always stays black.

I really can’t afford to spend too much due to my current financial situation.
