Macbook Pro died and won't turn back on

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro 13' (it's about 1.5 years old). I was on it a couple of hours ago when I got the running on reserve battery indicator. Before I could plug the charger in, it died. I have had the charger in for over 2 hours now and it still won't turn on. The green light is on on the charger. When I unplug the charger the first battery strength light flashes on twice but that is it. When it is plugged in the battery strength lights do not go on at all. I have been searching for an answer for over an hour but can't seem to find one. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

It's a possibility, magsafes are known to do all sorts of strange things (I've had tons of replacements), but more than likely it's your battery. Does a friend or family member have another charger you could try? That's how you'll know if it's the battery or charger. If not I would say take it to an apple store to try it out!

My MacBook Pro died and won't turn on

My MacBook was playing music and suddenly started skipping the song. It then died - black screen and won't turn on. The little button on the bottom left side still allows the tiny circles of green to come on, but no sound, no nothing on the screen.

Which model MBP do you have?

Macbook Pro died and will not turn on any longer

I am hoping someone can give me some insight into what has happened with my Macbook.
I have a 2008 17" Macbook Pro A1261. The other day I was working on battery life and noticed it was about to drain, so I plugged in my adapter. The adapter was not lighting up and I assumed that it had just stopped working. My Macbook is completely dead at this point. I bought another adapter (the newer L shaped ones) and when I plug it in the light comes on green but does not change colour to amber. When I try to power my mac on it does not come on with the battery in or removed.
I have tried an SMC reset, holding shift, etc. and nothing has worked thus far. My issue is that how can my macbook all of a sudden just "die" when it was working PERFECTLY fine before the battery drained? I assumed buying another adapter would fix the issue.
Could this simply be because my macbook does not yet have the firmware installed for the new L shaped adapter? If so what steps can I take to install the firmware? I know it is not the magsafe adapter because I have tried two others with no luck.
Please help!

Hi all, I finally took my macbook into the apple store and met with a genius. I am really not satisfied at all and I will explain why.
My macbook was working fine until the battery died, it was powered on and functioning etc. and it was just my cord that had the issue (until the battery drained completely). I have seen a lot of posts about macbooks just not turning on until the battery that has died is charged and inserted.
The day of the appointment I took another look at my macbook after leaving it idle for a few days. At this point, the battery has actually expanded and broke out of it's original case. This happened while the battery was drained and the macbook was off and unplugged. From what I have read, this happens all the time with these batteries and there was a program put in place to replace them at one point?
When I got to the apple store, I explained my situation (cord did not light/charge macbook, then macbook battery drains and now it will not turn on) and the tech basically told me that it is for sure the top case and the power button just "doesn't work", so I will need to spend $200 to replace the top case and then they "can go from there". He said it is either the top case or the logic board. I asked him why the logic board just mysteriously "broke" when the battery died. He told me that "these things start in one spot and spread like a cold". I am really disappointed in the service I got from them, he literally asked three questions and then said it is the top case and the logic board and that I need to buy both. It didn't give me any more confidence that this guy was 25 years old wearing a fitted hat at work (like a NY hat or something, and I hate to stereotype but he lived up to it unfortunately).
Also, he made it seem like I needed to pay for the top case first before they would spend any time even looking at my macbook to see what is wrong.. is this correct? You need to purchase a part or they won't open your computer?
Disappointment aside, I believe my next step is to obtain a fully charged battery and use that to start my macbook. I will post what happens if I can find a charged battery. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Macbook pro switched off won't turn back on

My mid 2011 macbook pro switched off while I was charging my iphone 5 with it (was using belkin cable since NY apple cable started ripping open at the ends and now it won't work).
This happened 2 days ago. I browsed through some of the community members having the same problem but none of it works for me. If I recall the macbook has 60% chsrge . I tried connecting my charger to the laptop it only lights up with a light green color that's hardly noticeable. Moreover none of the keys work it seems. Please help

You will have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.

My iPhone 5 just died, and won't turn back on..

Hard boot doesn't help, could it be the battery that is dead? I had to charge it 5 times a day for some weeks before it died..
It won't charge, or connect to iTunes, and since it had to be charged 5 times a day for it to make it through ONE day, I'm thinking that it might be that the battery is just 100% dead..
Could it be something like that?
I have tried hard Boot by holding the home and powerbutton for 15 sec and more, and tried charging it in the wall for 1 hour and tried again, still nothing..

Its the integrated charging circuit..
but before jumping conclusions change the battery..only takes 2 minutes need a pentalobe scredriver for the two bottom screws phillips microdriver and a 10dollar battery, the screwdrivers are like 5 dollars and in some cases they will come with the battery (ebay)!

Iphone4s just died and won't turn back on, what should I do?

Checking out apps on iPhone 4S and was about 50% battery then it just shuts down. I haven't been able to turn it back on. What should I do?

Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? Put it on the charger for about 10 minutes first.

My iPhone 4 died and won't turn back on?

Today I was out and had my phone in my bag. It was already 23% when I left the house, and I didn't really look at it while I was out. About two hours later, I think I got a call cause my phone was vibrating, but when I checked, the screen was black and wouldnt show anything??? I figured the battery was dying or something so I just left it alone. Then when I got home, I went to charge it but nothing is happening. It's been charging for like an hour now and nothing has showed up. What can I do? I tried the home+power button but my home button is kinda messed up (I used assistive touch), so I'm not sure if it's even effective. Help please!

Time for a new phone.
Christmas is early for you.

My iPhone 4 died and won't turn back on. It's been on the charger for 17 hours.

Last night my phone went completely dead while I was doing something for school. I put it on the charger as soon as I got into the car, maybe 30 minutes after it went dead. It's been charging for 17 hours and still shows an empty battery with a flash underneath.
I've tried everything. I've attempted a hard reset multiple times, the screen goes black for maybe two seconds and then the empty battery comes back. Tried restarting my computer while my phone was plugged into it. Tried pressing the home button while plugging it into my computer. My computer isn't recognizing it when I plug the phone in.
I am desperate. I don't have the money to buy a new phone. Please help.
It hasn't been dropped. No water damage. I've never broken an iPhone before.

Your only chance is connecting in recovery mode, as explained in this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
iTunes has to tell you that it found an iPhone in recovery mode, otherwise you can't be sure that you put it into recovery mode.

My 2012 mac book pro died and won't turn on

MacBook Pro Mid 2014 shut off randomly and won't turn back on.

Hello,
My MacBook Pro(Mid 2014) won't turn back on. I was just typing up my essay and it just turned straight off and won't turn back on. It has happen several times before and all I had to do was press the buttons(SMC method) and the PVRAM thing and it would turn back on. But now it doesn't turn on at all. How do I fix this issue? I had went today to the Apple Store and had a appointment at 3:15-3:25 and I was late by 2 minutes, so they couldn't help me and offered me to come back at 5PM, but will busy so I asked for 5 Monday. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Back when it was operating it would shut off whenever I was using it at the random times. This is my first MacBook so I don't know if it's suppose to get Hot and loud sometimes when operating and then cool off afterwards if that helps out. It shutoff last week wednesday and doesn't turn on at all, but will charge to fully green though. Anyone got any suggestions? I do have a MacBook screwdriver to open it, so if anyone knows anything about the inside and how to resolve the issue it would be great. I don't know how to remove the battery so if you do know please tell me or some keyboard trick would be helpful! All my data is on this so I would like to solve before Apple erases my data.

Hello untech,
I see that it has been awhile since you have posted with us on the HP Forums. Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome Back".
I see that you are having an issue with the printer shutting it self off and not powering back on.
By chance do you have the printer power cable connected to a power bar/strip? If so, please try connecting the printers power cable directly to a wall outlet. Here is a document that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
The printer in the document is a LaserJet printer but this document is meant for HP products in general and only uses the LaserJet as an example.
I am also going to include a document for when The HP Printer Won't Turn On or Respond When the Power Button is Pressed.
If by chance the issue is not resolved after doing the steps outlined, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions.
I hope you have a great Monday.

Macbook air randomly shuts off and won't turn back on

I have a 2011 Macbook Air that was given to me by my sister. She told me about a year ago she spilled water on the keyboard and it stopped working for a while. She took it to apple and they told her it was going to cost 700 dollars to replace so she decided not to. After a while the laptop randomly turned back on and started working fine. I ended up getting it as a free gift and it was working perfectly fine for about a month and a half until recently it randomly shut off on me. After it shuts off, it wouldn't turn back on through pressing the power button I left it alone and after a day it randomly turned back on and worked like normal. After about 15 minutes of use it randomly shuts down and won't turn back on. I tried resetting SMC to no avail. It randomly turns on for about 15 minutes before it feels like it gets slightly hot and shuts off. Any help will be great!

Try running an Apple Hardware Test:

If you find you can't, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be free and then you should know what the problems are with your MBA.
