Most likely.
You can try to boot from the Install DVD for your Mac and run AHT from there if it boots.
If not it sounds like it is time to take it to Apple for repair.

My macbook air won't turn on and the led light on the cord doesn't light up

I can't get my macbook air to turn on and the cord light won't go on, either. It was not dead last night when I shut it down . . . any ideas?

Hello srsymington,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your MacBook Air will not power on, I'd like you to please reset the SMC as directed below.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

TS1367 My White 13" MacBook (the last model ever produced) will no longer turn on, and the charger light won't even luminesce when plugged in.

My MacBook has been suffering for the last 2 and a half years or so, and finally called it quits today.
There were many things wrong with it, but the most debilitating issue was with the battery; if the computer wasn't plugged into a wall, it would immediately die. Upon being powered back on, the clock would always be reset to 12/31/2000 at 7:00 PM. As I stated in the title, it will no longer even power on or recognize a charger. Help would be much appreciated. If it's a battery issue then I can replace it, but I don't want to buy a new battery if my computer is totaled.

First see the MagSafe troubleshooting tips:Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters and check to see that all looks ok. You might want to try using another charger in case the charger is faulty. If that doesn't help, take the MacBook Pro and charger to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test the system to see where the fault is.

My MacBook Pro is not switching on and my charging light is very dim green

Hey ! My MacBook Pro is not switching on. I was trying to charge my iPhone through the lead attached to the MacBook. I suppose the iPhone charging lead might not be a original. Hence it kept saying that this accessory will not work. So I took it out. As soon as I did that my mac switched off and it would not switch on again. The charger light went really dim green. It usable is more brighter. I've waited for a while. It's not switching on. I was trying to do smc reset but I suppose if I'm doing it right it's not working. I was reading online and I didn't find much help. I live in Pakistan so I can't go to apple store. Please tell me a solution !!?

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.

My MacBook Pro shut itself down and now it won't turn back on and the power light keeps flashing a green and amber but very dull. Help please!

My MacBook Pro shut itself down and now it won't turn back on and the power light keeps flashing the amber light. I don't know what to do, and this has never happened before.

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...

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).

My MacBook pro 2009, won't turn on but the indicator light does.

Hey guys, I am computer illiterate as far as hardware goes, so I hope someone can help me. I have a 2009 MacBook pro, and today was the first day I have ever had a problem with it. It won't turn on, however the little power indicator light does come on and it stays on. The battery indicator is green. The keyboard isn't working because when I press on the caps lock button it doesnt turn green. I tried to charge my IPhone to it to see if it was getting enough power, and the IPhone didn't charge. So I'm guessing that my MacBook isn't getting enough power, could it be this simple or more severe.

It sounds like your MBP doesn't produce a startup chime that is an indication that the POST, Power On Self Test, has failed which means that it has hardware problems that are serious enough to prevent POST from completing successfully.
You are either going to have to do some serious troubleshooting to find out what part of the MBP has failed or take it to Apple and ask them to fix it for you. They will give you an estimate after they see it so that you can decide if you are going to have it fixed or not.

I was on YouTube while charging my MacBook Pro I left for two mins when I came back it was turned off and the charging cord was blinking green and orange now I can't turn my Mac book back on

I Have a MacBook Pro 13-inch LED-backlit widescreen notebook. I was watching YouTube while I was charging my laptop then I left the room for two mins while I was gone it turned off and the cord is blinking green and orange. What do I do?

Ok, then you can start with the general Apple Support site:http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ or try the ExpressLane at https://expresslane.apple.com for support.

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!

What can I do if MacBook Pro won't turn on but the keyboard lights up ?

Hi, my MacBook won't start but the keyboard lights up, if anybody has any ideas what I can do to get it to turn on, I'd be forever grateful,
Tracey

Try ooting into your Mavericks Recovery partition - by holding down the command and R keys shilst booting.
Once at the Recovery screen, open Disk Utility, slect your hard drive icon on the left of the screen (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you'e renamed it) and click on the "Verify" button. If you get green text telling you that everything seems to be O.K., just reboot. If you get red text telling you that the drive needs to be repaired, click on the "Repair" button. If repair is successful, you should be able to bott normally.
Call back with results.

Macbook air won't turn on and the screen will go white. It says that the start up disk is full. HELP

When I turn my macbook air on it sends me a message saying that my start up disk is full and that I have to free up some space. When I log in into my account the screen will go white and I won't be able to do anything. I tried to restart my computer in safemode holding down the shift key while restarting it but it won't work. HELP PLEASE.

If you could boot from an external OS X boot drive then you could delete some files. You probably don't have such a HDD/Thumb drive but a Genius at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider could help you. This is not a hardware repair so a Genius should not need to charge you for this service.
Genius reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ .
or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country
After it is healthy again I would buy a new external HDD and use Carbon Copy Clone or Super Duper! to create a bootable clone. Keeping a clone current is also an excellent backup methodology in addition to Time Machine.
