Macbook Pro won't turn on and no charge?f

Hey, I bought my mbp around September of 2009. Last night I put it to sleep, and when I woke up it wouldn't turn on. The battery indicator shows only 1 green light and flashes for a couple of seconds. When I plug in my charger, there is no light, as well. What should I do?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Ezam
It's interesting that you say that it's a new battery charger, do you still have the old one and have you tried that?
It sounds like a problem I had with one of the Laptops where I work. We were experiencing problems with the charger so we bought a new one, didn't think anything of it and the Apple Store didn't ask any questions - why would they.
After a few weeks the Laptop seemed to be losing it's charge, so we called in our support contract, turned out that the Adapters are very slightly different and the one we had although it worked was not quite the right one for the Laptop we had (This was one of the older style chargers with the jack type connection).
Not sure if this rule still applies with the MagSafe but might be worth looking into, sounds like the chargers not getting the power there. The 1 battery light you're experiencing is the sign that the Battery doesn't even have enough juice to light one light.
The service Battery warning seems to be a common one coming up at the moment with Snow Leopard but it shouldn't stop the machine from turning on, especially as you can run the MacBook without a battery in (not advisable mind).

MacBook Pro won't turn on and won't charge

My MacBook Pro will not turn on and it appears to not charge. my charger blinks a orange light when I plug it in but the light is very dim. any suggestions?

Bring it to an authorized service center and have them try one of their chargers on it. If the charger doesn't work, then have the battery replaced. If the battery being replaced doesn't charge, replace the power supply.

My 1 year old Macbook Pro won't turn on and won't charge - no power light at all. Any suggestions?

My 1 year old Macbook Pro which ran out of warranty this month on the 3rd of June, won't turn on and when I plug in the charger, there is no charging light and it won't turn on.

My macbook pro will not turn on and the charger is not lighting up

please help!! my macbook pro will not turn on at all, when i plug in the charger it will not light up at all, it suddenly shut down when i was using it.

Is there any charge left in the battery?
Press the button on the left side, near the front edge. If no green lights appear, battery is flat. And if the power brick ain't workin' (by virtue of its pilot light not glowing), then it will remain flat and the computer will not power up. If this is the case, maybe try with another power brick of similar size and see if it charges.
Else the logic board is toast and pitbull's on the money.
Either case, my gypsy crystal ball forsees a trip to an Apple Store or a Service Provider in your future...

My relatives 2009 Macbook Pro won't turn on and isn't taking a charge.

Holding down the power button has no effect and when the charger is inserted, there is no green or red/orange light. All outlets are functioning and the computer was working as it always had the day before. Help?

Hi Cygnus and Lyra,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the MacBook Pro doesn't respond when the power button is pressed, or seem to recognize the charger, these troubleshooting steps can help:
If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter.
Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.

If you are still unable to start up your computer after trying each of these steps, visit an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for further diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).

MacBook Pro won't turn on and it won't charge

My MacBook has been working fine and has been charging until now. I left my laptop in without it being plugged in and I presume the laptop died when it ran out of battery. I plugged my charger into laptop but I noticed that there was no charging light on the mag lite charger. I tried plugging my laptop in at different plug sockets and I've tried using a different charger but my laptop still won't charge it turn on. I've only had it just over a year. Any ideas anyone?
Help!

HT3964 Macbook pro won't turn on and won't charge

Hi. I just bought a macbook pro 13" last year August. Unfortunately just today when i used it and plugged my iPad to sync, it shuts down unexpectedly. Then i tried charging it as i thought it maybe because the battery is out but no. The charger won't work as well. I borrowed my cousin's charger yet it still dont work. My charger is working eventually to my cousins mac. Anyone who can help me? I tried SMC but it doesnt work. I need my MAC.

You need to take your machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run diagnostics on it. Sounds as if you've a hardware failure.
Sorry,

Macbook pro won't turn on. Flashing charger light. Please

I have had my macbook pro for less than a month and it will not turn on. When i plug in the charger it does one of 3 things; A) the little light on the charger won't turn on. B) it comes on orange and then after a period of a couple of minutes slowly fades out and then back on as green followed by flashing green. or C) It simply won't come on. The computer will not turn on during any of these instances. And when I check the battery by pressing the button on the side none of the 5 lights turn on.
I have tried it with the charger for my other macbook and still doesn't work. And both the chargers work on that computer. So i know it is an issue with the macbook itself.
The sleeper light never turns on at all either. I hope the battery didn't burn out.
Is there anybody out there who could please help me?
Shed some light on this...

Since you've had this for such a short time, I would take it to the Apple store and let them deal with it.
Do a back up first!

MacBook Pro won't power up and no charger light after USB device was plugged in

Hey guys,
I have a late 2012 MacBook Pro 13" with a water damage that didn't cause any troubles (until now).
A couple of days ago I plugged in a Samsung tablet to recharge it's battery on my MacBook. At the same time my screen went black and the MacBook powered off. No usual forced low-battery-shutdown or anything, it just died. From then on the charger light didn't work and I wasn't able to start the Computer anymore. From time to time the charger light was flickering a little bit but way darker than the usual luminosity. The Laptop had a water damage about a year ago, which didn't cause any trouble. I dried and aired it for a couple of days and didn't switch it on during that time. It worked normal for the rest of the year but now I think the mainboard is ******. Please tell me something different, or the truth even though it might be shattering.
Just in case it might be important. I was backpacking in Sri Lanka when the incident took place. It didn't seem like there was an overvoltage or anything like that though...
Thank you guys and have a good day.
Alex

Liquid damage is progressive.
Best action that can be done is to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out
and repaired if possible and affordable.
Best.

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
If this doesn't work then you will need to erase the drive and install Snow Leopard from scratch:
Erase and Install Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. When completed quit DU and complete the Snow Leopard installation.
