2010 a1286 will not turn on. Magsafe will show charge but nothing else happens

I have a Macbook Pro 15” from September/October 2010.
On Saturday when I opened it up (it had just been on sleep for the last week) it showed a dulled screen and the big wheel as it normally would to load everything up again.
Then the screen went black and there was no sign of anything. I tried switching it on again but nothing.
Left it charging over night and still nothing.
When I press the battery indicator light on the side there is one flashing green and then nothing else.
I have an appointment with Milton Keynes Apple store on Saturday morning for it to be diagnosed.
I am hoping it is just the battery needing replacing (but when I have it plugged in the green light shows on the magsafe connector).

A lot of MacBook Pro's from mid-2010 have an issue with the graphics card: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4088
So there's a real chance that repair won't be as easy as replacing the battery...

    What is the exact model of your Macbook Pro?

  • When I turn it on the apple appears but nothing else happens??

    I have Ipod touch when I turn it on the apple appears but nothing else goes on help??

    What happens if you try a hard reset?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If its still stuck at the Apple logo, try connecting it to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restoring it.

  • 2009 unibody macbook with rubber back will not turn on. power adaptor shows charge

    My macbook died while I was watching netflix. I plugged it in to the wall and tried to turn it on but nothing happened. It would not turn on, but the power adapter showed orange, like it was charging. I decided to leave it until morning. The light had turned green and showed it had charged, and still nothing when I pressed the power button. What types of issues are associated with this kind of thing, and how can I try to fix it? Thanks for any and all help!,

  • My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and nothing. I have tried to reset the device as well with no luck. Any suggestions?

    My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and no luck. I have tried to restart it multiple times with no luck. During the restart, the screen will flicker like it is trying to restart but the silver apple never shows. Any suggestions?

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process.
    FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue.
    In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • 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.

  • I cancelled my iOS6 update in the middle of updating. now it will not turn on it will either remain black or white on the screen. What do i Do?

    I cancelled my iOS6 update in the middle of updating. now it will not turn on it will either remain black or white on the screen. What do i Do? PLEASE HELP!!

    Connect it to iTunes and then put the device in DFU mode by holding the power button and home button for 10 seconds, then release the power button only while still holing the home button.
    iTunes will prompt you to restore, try that and it should work.

  • I pod touch will not turn on and will not charge - just died - did not drop or spill water on it - HELP

    I pod touch will not turn on and will now not charge - just died - did not drop or spill water on it - HELP.  When I plug it into I-Tunes it says the IPOD is in recovery mode

    Have you tried to restore the iPod via iTunes on the computer? See the restoring topic on:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
    If not successful, what happens when you try to restore the iPod?  Any error messages?

  • Ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window says ipod is in recovery mode and needsto be restored

    ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window pops up says ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. what do i do now?

    You restore the iPod via iTunes. Don't plug the iPod in. Open up iTunes and then plug it in and then try restoring, if it fails to restore a few times, keep trying. I do it on a daily basis, you're using an Apple product, remember...
    EDIT: Do it from another computer if all else fails.

  • I have a new iPod touch that will not turn on, nor will it connect to iTunes.  Any suggestions?

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Iphone 4 will not turn on with or without charger. Lock/sleep button is broke. Itunes will not identify phone.

    My Iphone 4 shut off randomly last night while charging. It will not turn on with or without charger (I have tried multiple working outlets and usb ports. Didn't work)
    The lock/sleep button is broke (I tried pushing it down on multiple surfaces as hard as I could while holding the home button. Didn't work.)
    My Itunes will not identify the phone is hooked up to the computer (my itunes is completely up to date. I tried all the methods of pressing down the home button and pluuging in the usb chord while Itunes is running.Tested my roomates Iphone 4 with my chord and it charged and Itunes identified it. Tried his chord as well. Didn't work.)
    All the advise I can find in these communities involves using the phone. The screen is black completely black no matter what I do. It makes no noise either (called it several times) I have read about 15 different posts on here and tried every method I found more than once. Do I just need to take it in?

    Apple won't repair it, they just offer you an out of warranty replacement, cost is US $149. Me? I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a discontinued model. I'd sell it for parts on eBay or go to a third-party repair shop. Be aware, if you go the third-party repair shop route, you forfeit all support from Apple, including the right to an out of warranty replacement.

    My phone will not turn on/respond to being charged. What should I do?
    It was working fine, I was taking pictures and put the phone in my pocket. I took it out 2 minutes later and it was shut off and will no longer turn back on. Please Help!

    Hi,
    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • I have a nano 4th generation 8gb i have tried resetting it, i get the apple logo come up but nothing else happens.  It will work in my docking station  but as soon as i take it out it will not respond.  any ideas, do i need a new battery?

    It definitely sounds like your Nano needs a new battery at this point.  You can have Apple replace it for a flat fee, send it into a third party service center to be replaced for much less, or you can purchase a new battery online and swap it out yourself if you feel up to it.
