Mid 2010 MacBook Pro Black Screen Again

So, I'm documenting continuing errors using this machine that had the mid 2010 MacBook Pro NVIDIA video card problem after Apple replaced the logic board, trackpad, and CD/DVD drive.

This morning I awoke to a keyboard that would light up when awakened, but the screen remained black. Here's the same problem again with the new video board. Where do I look in the system logs for any kind of error message? Nothing showed onscreen when I restarted.

Take a look in /Applications/Utilities/Console.app > All Messages; you may find something there.

Go directly to the Genius Desk at the Apple Store, do not pass Go do not collect $200. It took a friend 3 ttys, 3 new logic boards, and two keyboards for Apple to eventually give in and replace the computer.

Can't do without computer for that many times, a week to send it out each time. Taking a different route.

A reply by Virtual 1 was erroneously posted here, and moved to the intended thread New MacBook Pro--putting in a larger drive. Two other—now unnecessary—replies about this error were removed.
