13" white Macbook will not power on with known good battery

Macbook will not attempt to power on with a known good battery that shows full charge. Also, when Magsafe plugged in, there is no indication (no green or amber light) it is connected. This charger does work with another Macbook (same kind).
I have checked the Magsafe/port for any dust & debris, and have followed the tips listed in the FAQ's for a macbook with no power. As I said, the battery & charger both work in another Macbook.
Suggestions please!

Hi Stephanie. It could be a logic board issue or simply the power button at this point (let's hope its the latter). Can you give us more info on how this happened? Did the computer suddenly shut down or was it stored and unused for quite some time?
Without any power, and with you making sure both the battery and and charger is working, then I would suggest bringing it in to the Apple Store.

G570 will not power on with or without battery

I have a G570 that will not power on or charge regularly. I have tested ac adapter and i am getting 20 volts. I also tested power at the jack on motherboard where the power port plugs in and getting 20v there as well. If I remove battery laptop will not power up on just ac adapter. If I plug in ac with battery installed the power button, power light and battery light just blink but still will not power on. I have left overnight and still nothing and I have tried 2 new batteries. My thinking is motherboard and I have tried googling but have not been able to find this exact symptom. Unit is out of warranty .

hi itrcomp
I would suggest doing a power drain
Remove AC and battery and hold down the power for atleast 15 seconds,
then reconnect just the Ac see if it will turn on.
One thing is sure here, your system is not getting power from the AC,
The light blinking when you have the Battery in is an indication that the battery power is low and it is not charging.
Your troubleshooting steps leaves the AC and the (Power system-DCjack or motherboard) the culprit.
Your System also has a DC in Jack part like this
Part number 31048400
PIWG2 DC-IN CABLE-15.6
that might also be the cause.
You can check your system Maintenance Manual about how to go about checking this.
I would suggest to Call Lenovo Technical Support for assistance if your not comfortable about opening the Laptop.
Best Regards

TS1367 my white macbook will not start up - on pressing on button screen lights up but blank - help!

My white macbook will not start up. On pressing the start button the screen lights up but remains blank. Help!

G5 has these hardware issues:
-- bad capacitors on logic board
-- bad capacitors in power supply
-- badly soldered video chip
-- "There were several Mac models with flat panel displays that had bad displays.
     Most had serial numbers beginning with "W8"---the code for one specific factory.
     This affected PowerBooks as well. If that's the case, the rest of the computer
     is probably fine." by Allan Jones in

MacBook will not power on and no start up sounds

My MacBook will not power on despite having a fully charged battery and the power cord has a green light. I used all of the support suggestions online and spoke with an apple care rep. I was told that it seemed as though it was a power flow issue- the power button is not responding properly. I was also told that it doesn't seem like it is affecting my hard drive since there are also no start up sounds.
My question is, is this problem fixable if I choose to sell the MacBook? And how costly is the solution?

Sorry about Necroing a 1 year old thread but I am having the same issue with the same Model. Laptop went dead overnight, no led indicator of power. Opened the laptop and tested the AC adapter. I get 19.5V exit on the cable. Tested the power connector on the motherboard and getting the same voltage. Capacitator to not seem damaged. Any suggestion on how to troubleshoot this further? I love that laptop

IpodT auto redirects to the power off (slide) option while in use. Then while not using it, it will not power off to conserve the battery. I have to enable the assistive touch to save battery life. Software is up to date with 6.1.6. PLEASE HELP!

MacBook will not power or charge! HELP ME!

My MacBook was working great last night. I was watching a DVD on it and the battery started to go low. I closed it up and layed it down and went to bed. I did shut off DVD before closing it up. Safri might have still been on I am not sure. Either way I wake up to a dead battery, so as always I plugged in the AC to watch my movie, but the light on the AC will not even light up. I even took the battery out and still it will not Power on. I cleaned and put battery back in and still NOTHING. No chargeing up, no powering on. My computer just will not power on at all. I had this happen to an iBook, but it finally came on after taking the battery out ten or more times and just kept pushing the power button. But, I've tried all morning and I can't get anything to happen with this MacBook. Am I suppose to hold down a key or is there a way to reset the computer? It was working great! Not one problem EVER. Not even a shut down or locking up....nothing. Not. One. Problem. Please HELP ME!? I'm guessing the battery went completely dead and forced the computer to shut off....but why will it not cut back on? I'll give you the BIGGEST (((HUG))) if you can help me! -Aimee ;o)

Yea. They call themselves a "genius," but that they are NOT! Some are so clueless and only want you to buy a new computer. Theres gotta be a better way. Sometimes I think APPLE put a little device in their computers and after five years it blows up and kills the computer so your only option is to buy a new one. I"M NOT GIVING UP!!! LOL!

MacBook will not power on at all

Hi there,
My 2011 13" MacBook Air will not power up. It is charging, and recently turned from amber to green.
I have tried to reset the SMC and PRAM - obviously these options didn't fix the problem.
I cannot hear any fans or anything moving in the MacBook that would indicate that it is powering on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

8320 won't boot up, even with known good battery

Hi Guys, my first post, hope you can help me.
I've got an 8320 which died last night, initially suspected a dead battery so have changed it this morning for one that is known to be good, as its from my other phone where it shows fully charged.
With the known good battery in the suspected faulty phone I get a bettery symbol with a red line through it.
Is it worth trying to reinstall the software or is it a hardware issue ?
If its worth doing the software how do I go about it ?
Thanks in anticipation of your help.

Macbook Will Not Power On

My macbook recently failed to wake up from sleep.
Here are my current symptoms.
With magsafe pluggged in, LED glows green on adapter.
Battery indicator flashes full when tested.
White LED on front panel of macbook does not light at all.
I have:
Removed all accessories.
Held down the power to force it off.
Removed the battery and the adapter, and then held power for 5 seconds.
Tried to reset the Reset the PRAM.
I am dreading that it's a logic board issue, but thought I might be missing something.
Pressed the control key, the command key, and the power button simultaneously and hold for three seconds to try to restart the computer.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Yes. I did give both of those a shot.
The only thing I can think of that I haven't done is remove the battery and AC and leave them off for an extended period of time.

Macbook will not power up after software updates

I got my White macbook last week.
This afternoon, I ran a software update which had 6 items including iTunes 8 and OS X updates to 10.5.5.
I left the software update running and upon my return, the Macbook had powered off and I could not power it up again.
Tried everything in the manual and finally called my reseller for an appointment.
I am very surprised that this happened.
Can anyone provide a similar experience or tell me what may have happened?
Thank you.
RJ

iTunes 8 has been known to be killing hard drives on macbooks, so i think that the problem is that your hard drive is toasted/dead. Since its only a week old apple could probably replace it for free for you, but theres a big chance all your data is lost. Also try removing the battery and putting it back in, then start it up. If it starts up but all you see is a folder w/ a question mark it means its corrupt. I would take it to the reseller or an apple genius to check it out (at the apple store)

G7 will not power on with battery at 100%

I just bought a new battery because the one that was in said it was charging but the windows app always said 0% charge so I bought a new one. It's needed a new one for a year, so I put the new one in and let it charge up until windows app in the corner said it was at 97% not charging. I unplugged and it was like there was no battery in at all. I plugged the power cord in and I was at the windows shutdown error startup.
Ain't nobody got time for that. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi methusela,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I am sorry to hear that after replacing your battery, you are still having a problem with the computer. I will try my best to help you with this. To better guide you, could you please give me some more information.
What is the model number of your computer?
What operating system is running on the computer?
What error message(s) are you getting?
Not that you need them but here are guides for:
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Which Windows operating system am I running?
Here is a document for Battery Does not Power Notebook or Hold a Charge. In here are steps to let you know if it is the power supply, system board or the battery that is not working correctly.
I hope this information is useful, and please let me know about the other, and I will be happy to help you!

My iPod 5g will not turn on with a full battery

I just got a 5th generation iPod touch and I plugged it in to charge and Now it will not turn on or even light up the screen is there anything I can do like replace it or whatever

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Macbook will not start up with power cord plugged in

hi,
my macbook core duo, wont startup anymore with the power cord.
It does work with a battery though. But the problem is that the cord is not charging the battery anymore and not even giving power to the machine.
the light on the cord is green. I tried with another power cord, it does the same.
i even changed the dc-in board, with no luck.
any ideas ?

I have the exact same problem. There is a buzz from the region where the power connection is, and I'm afraid it is a power hardware issue. Since the optical drive already quit on this first gen MacBook, I think it's time to chuck this lemon.
