MacBook will not turn on, quite clicking sound when connected to power

I cleaned my MacBook with a damp cloth and now the MacBook will not boot. the first time I turned it on after I cleaned it. it turned on and the screen came on the grey apple loading screen, went away for a minute when I came back it had turned itself off.
Now when I press the power button it will not do anything at all, nothing turns on it is as it is dead. I have left it outside in the sun for a couple of days incase any water got into the machine but it still will not turn on.
When I connect the power cord to the MacBook the is a faint clicking sound coming from it.
This machine is about 3 years old so it is out of warranty.
Any suggestions to what it could be ?

This same thing just happened with mine - the clicking sounds like it's coming from the left speaker. I tried an smc reset and also took a look at the logic board to look for anything I might notice. What was the outcome for you - any info would be very helpful!

  • My ipod touch is completely unresponsive.  Will not turn on at all even when connected to power???? HELP!!!

    ipod touch completely unresponsive.  will not turn on at all even when connected to power source.  is it dead????

    After charging for at least an hour reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connect the iPod to your computer and see if iTunes sees the iPod.  If it does try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  If it is not visible try the following to make it visible:
    --- Place it in recovery mode via:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    --- Place in DFU mode:

  • The fan on my macbook will not turn off

    Please help.  the fan on my macbook will not turn off.  Also, my battery is no longer showing a percentage.
    Thanks

    Hmmm.  You have done the basics.  If you open the ActivityMonitor app in the Utliities folder,  select CPU usuage in the column-  flip it so highest % is on top.  Is ther an app in that column that is spiked?  Quit that app.
    You can run the Apple Hardware Test by booting holding the D key on restart,  this may generate an error code. Not the most complete test but it is a start.
    If no AHT- Boot off your Install Disk while holding down the d key, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD.

  • My MacBook will not turn on unless it's connected to a charger. However, when it's on and charging, it says that it has 0% battery life despite the green light on the charger. How can I fix this?

    Your battery has reached the end of its life. If you have a MacBook with the removable battery you can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay.

    Reinstall OS X. Either use your installer DVD or do a network restore if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • My macbook will not turn on. Related to using wrong charger?

    I used my macbook charger to charge a mac book pro and now my macbook will not turn on. The green light shows on the charger but it will not turn on. I am not sure it is related but what should I do?

    Using one charger on another mac won't harm anything.

  • My iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when receiving a text message

    for some reason since yesterday, my Iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when I receive a normal or Imessage text message.
    I double checked that vibration works in general and it does. so does the sound file for the Text tone.
    My ringer works fine as well as vibration for incoming calls but nothing works with a normal text message (even whatsapp works fine).
    I have no idea what could be the issue here.
    Any ideas?

    - Unmute your phone
    - Set your Ringtone to default
    - Adjust your volume
    - If you're on iOS6 - DO NOT DISTURB feature turn it OFF
    Try again

  • HT1212 My ipad2 (2 years old) will not turn on at all, with home key, or power on key, or both at same time. I just updated to 7.0.4 and there is a passcode, but my screen is blank and I can't turn it on.

    My ipad2 (2 years old) will not turn on at all, with home key, or power on key, or both at same time. I just updated to 7.0.4 and there is a passcode, but my screen is blank and I can't turn it on.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • TS1363 My ipod will not turn on at all.  When I connect it to the laptop by the USB, it does not recognize it at all.  What could possibly be the problem?  The Nano was working like 30 minutes ago.

    About 30 minutes ago, I was adding some music to the ipod Nano.  Everything was working fine.  Now, the ipod will not turn on at all.  When I connect it to the laptop with the USB, the computer does not even recognize it.  The screen has a fant image of the plug on it and it says connected.  I followed the procedures for disconnecting it when I was finished with it earlier.  Any idea what is going on here???
    Thanks

    It probably needs to be reset. The procedure is different for different Nano models: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/assistant/itunes/

  • My new AirPort Extreme will not turn on anymore, no lights when plugged in.

    My new AirPort Extreme will not turn on anymore, no lights when plugged in.  I just bought it a few days ago. It has been working fine. I left the house for most the day and when returning home it would turn back on. I have tried to plug it into other outlets...nothing, I've tried the reset button...Nothing.

    That is reported here a few times.. just take it straight back to apple or place of purchase for immediate exchange.

    21 September, 2014, from India.
    MD513AE/A  iPad Wi-Fi-16GB White - Model A 1458
    I have purchase this from Dubai, UAE, some 2 years back.
    I am NOT able to switch it on; when connected to power supply, the battery icon comes in but no signs of charging.
    After some times the ‘Apple’ icon comes in. Tried simultaneous operation of Sleep and Power buttons, but of no use.
    Sometimes a picture of cable and ITunes comes in; but not able to connect to
    P C as there is no battery charge.

  • Macbook will not turn on. I"ve tried all recommended troubleshooting steps.

    Early today, my macbook froze up. This has happened before and I did not think much of it, so I did like always and held down the power button until it shut off. Then I tried restarting it. At the start up screen where it asks for my password, I could not type it in because the screen was still frozen. I tried again to restart it and now it will not turn on at all! It does not make any sounds as though it is attempting to start or anything of that sort. Nothing happens when I try holding the power button. I've tried holding it down for 10 seconds, disconnecting the power cord, disconnecting the battery and holding the power button for 5 seconds, and I've tried holding the command, control, and power buttons down together. Is there anything else I can try to get it to start, or should I just make a genius bar appointment? I've had problems with this macbook before--including a hard drive crash and a kernal panic. Not sure if those might have anything to do with this issue.
    I'm frustrated!
    Thanks for any tips.

    You are going to need to get that looked at. You got a battery or logic board issue going on there.

  • My MacBook Pro will not turn on, bought a new charge still no power, My MacBook Pro will not turn on, bought a new charge still no power

    My MacBook pro will not turn on bought a new charger and it still will not turn on

    Then your problem isn't with the charger/adapter. Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011")?
    It's likely that you'd be best served by taking your machine into your local Apple Store or AASP and having the Apple techs run diagnostics. The diagnosis and estimate to repair should be free.
