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?

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

13" Macbook Pro won't turn on or charge

I have a 2011 macbook pro (13") which shut down while I was watching a movie last night. I connected it to the charger this morning and it restarted but the LED on the magsafe charger is green and it said "Not charging" next to the battery icon on the screen. It died after 2-3 minutes of use and won't turn on since then. I am really not sure why this is happening. I have checked that the charger works with another MBP so its not a problem with the charger. When I press the button to check the battery charge the first light flashes for 4-5 seconds. I tried resetting the SMC by following the steps mentioned on here but it still won't restart. Does anyone know what I can do about this problem? I would bring it in to the Apple store but I am travelling and need the computer for work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

MacBook Pro won't turn on or charge or show battery indicator

Yesterday I plugged my phone into my MacBook Pro 13" using a knockoff USB cord (my charger), my phone wouldn't connect and then the screen on my MacBook just went black and it completely shut off. I tried pressing the power button to turn it on and nothing happened. I checked the battery indicator on the side and no lights came on (not even the blinking red one that tells you your macbook's dead or low battery). I plugged in my MacBook charger and it was green for a few seconds and then the light shut off. I unplugged the charger from the socket and then plugged it back into my MacBook and the light starting blinking a faint green and orange and it still would not turn on. I let it sit overnight without being plugged into the charger and today it won't connect to the charger at all and still won't turn on. Any ideas?

Macbook pro won't turn on or charge. Help?

I used my Macbook Pro last night and it was perfectly fine. I turned it off, still with battery life. This morning I tried turning it on, nothing happened. So I tried plugging it in to charge to see what would happen. Nothing. The light of the charger usually turns bright green. But it didn't light up at all. You could see that it turned a little bit green but you can't notice. Also, my charger was doing fine last night. I haven't been using my mac for even a year yet. I started using it around November to December. I'm a bit disappointed. I take good care of my mac. My Dell laptop is still working and I have had it before I got my mac. I changed it battery once, but it was almost 2 years after I got the Dell. I would really appreciate help. All my school work are in my mac and I have no way of getting to them. I also need it fixed asap. I chatted with Apple Support, but it's still the same. I had to go to school so I couldn't do much either. Thank you very much!!

Hi FilipinoAndProud,
I recently had the exact same issue as you. My laptop wouldn't power on and the charger when plugged in would have a dim green light. I was so frustrated because my Macbook is one month out of the warranty.Anyway I managed to fix the problem by using this post

I had this Problem but now solved. I had to disconnect the battery inside your MacBook Plug your MagSafe charger in (with battery still disconnected inside) and the dim green light will go back to bright green again. Insure your MacBook is turned off Reconnect your battery screw case back on and Enjoy your Fix Macbook.
I hope this helps you.

SOS help please. Macbook Pro won't turn on. Blinking Light

Hello to everyone this is my first post here and sadly its about a problem with my macbook pro.
The notebook in question is a 17'' Macbook Pro I bought in September 2008.
I simply closed it (without turning it off, just let it go on sleep) and took it with me as usual and when I tried turning it on again, it would not turn on.
I press the power button and I hear the hard drive/superdrive (not sure which of the two) start up and I see the sleep light turn on but after a few seconds its turns off again. If I hold the power button down for a few seconds the sleep light starts blinking and then the notebook turns off once more. In all cases the screen is black.
I tried everything here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1365 and tried removing and re-installing the RAM and nothing changed.
Short of trying to re-install the RAM again I have no idea what to do. I won't be able to visit a Genius until after the 5th so any ideas/suggestions?

see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2674 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2341 for some information about beeps and flashes.
In your case, though, jinnes, the slow blinks suggest that the computer is simply refusing to wake up from sleep.
One possible, though unusual, cause of this can be if you are using the computer with it stacked on top of a macbook. In this case the magnet in the macbook underneath activates the Hall effect switch in the MBP, making the latter think the lid is closed, and preventing wakeup. I've had this happen to me and it is quite unnerving at the time! Simply moving the MBP will fix it. see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2917
The same effect could be generated by proximity to other magnets.
It is also possible , if this is not your situation, that the hall effect switch in your MBP is actually defective. It may be worth trying simply opening and closing the lid a few times to see if you can get it to activate.
Cheers
Rod

You need to hit the "reply" button on post to whom your responding too, it's hard to tell if your responding to me or someone else.
small button on the side of the computer and didn't lightting up( no reponse at all). is their any problems do think with the battery?
Usually if your battery is dead because it wasn't charged you can do the SMC Reset and then check the Magsafe if it's connected and showing the orange light, then let the battery charge up.
Once the battery charges up, the computer will boot normally and then you have to reset the PRAM, time, date etc.

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.

Depends upon what you mean by it not turning on, there are various causes.
Is the power button pressed and nothing happens? Disconnect all other devices, then a SMC and NVRAM reset.
Is there a white screen and nearly nothing? A hosed EFI firmware.
Is there a grey screen and a loading bar that gets stuck? Either a failed firmware update or corrupted drive/OS X.
Is there a grey screen with a spinning wheel? Bad third party or Apple at boot kext file.
Are you loading but not able to log in? Possible corrupt third party software designed to startup upon login.
