After a liquid spill my laptop won't turn on but the sleep light goes off with a beep every 5 seconds

It's been 2 weeks since I spilled tea onto the keyboard of my MacBook Pro- now after plugging it in the sleep light lights up and beeps every 5 seconds but will not start up- it has been upside down and powered down since spill

Take it to Apple and ask them to find out what has been damaged by the tea.
The longer you wait the worst the problems will get as the corrsion from the liquid continues to develop.

  • 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.

  • My MBP won't turn on. The charger light goes green but then dims out before it goes out again

    My MBP suddenly stopped working when I came back to it. I tried charging it with a couple of different chargers and different sockets. The charger light turns green but then slowly dims down before it turns off.
    I tried all key combinations for starting up - holding the power key for long, Cmd+Opt+P+R with power button, Cmd+R with power button, but none of them work. The laptop won't turn on.
    What could be wrong?

    If you are still under warranty call Apple Care. Make sure you get a case number as all repairs have an additional 90 days of warranty. 

  • 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,

    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.

  • My Macbook pro, (late 2010) sometimes will sleep and won't wake up. then the sleep light flashes.What's the problem?

    My Macbook pro, (late 2010) sometimes will sleep and won't wake up. then the sleep light flashes.What's the problem

    Hi I've been following this thread (along with a different one on the same topic). I've been having the same problem with my ibook. I can add that I have no problem with startup. It's just that the screen "goes to sleep" unexpectedly and may operate normally for a few minutes or a few hours at most. Opening and closing the lid or restarting seems to cause it to awaken but then usually for just a few seconds or minutes. If it is connected to another video display that display continues functioning fine even though the computer screen is blank. In addition the desktop is there and visible faintly or if totally blank can be backlit through the apple logo and can be read. I've had my logic board replaced twice under the extended warranty and assumed it was that but now I'm thinking of the reed switch. Apple refuses to consider any further work under warranty as the last repair was in Jan, 06 and they claim only a 90 parts warranty and the machine is from 03. Any thoughts before I cut the wires? I have reset the pmu, run cocktail and disk utility. Other than the sleep issue the machine works fine. thanks Ronda or anyone else who has any ideas... Dave

  • My macbook black shutdown during a thunder storm , what do i need to? it won't turn on and the charger light is not on green or on at all..have i fried it?

    my macbook black shutdown during a thunder storm , what do i need to? it won't turn on and the charger light is not on green or on at all..have i fried it?please help a.s.a.p...

    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.

  • After updating my iPod touch it won't turn on and the apple icon stays on. What do I do ?

    My I pod won't turn on. It was updated with new software and when it went to restart the apple icon comes up and stays up, but that's it. The only other action we found is that the charging indicator has come on but that's it. What should I do?

    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.

  • The screen of my iPhone won't turn on but the touch is still responsive

    I went to sleep with my iPhone 4s next to me. When I woke up my phone would not cut on. Siri still works and I can still unlock my phone but the screen won't cut on. The touch is still on though because I can put my pass code in and unlock my phone. I've already tried holing down the home button and power button AND charging it. Neither of them worked.

    Try this First... No Data will be Lost..
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

Any ideas what could be the problem?

    please list all of the options which you have tried so far, so that we don’t suggest anything which you’ve already tried.

  • TS1367 I have a mac book pro, 2012 and an apple monitor but the monitor keeps going off.  What is causing this?  Why won't it stay connected?

    Why won't my Apple monitor stay on with my mac book pro?

    I know there were many more problems 5 yrs ago with 3rd party monitors and have been some issues in between also.
    Apple does have what is needed to use multiple 30 inch displays and the 5770 is pretty mainstream and standard.
    It is also about the only card being sold outside ebay and a couple places in case you want to take your chances with Nvidia 8800GT 1st gen model or ATI 4870.

  • Macbook Won't Turn On But Caps Lock Lights Up Green.

    Hello,
    I spilt water on my Macbook A1342 some time ago. I have tried to fix it by cleaning the damaged areas. It didn't start up before but now i have the caps lock illuminated green and is constantly on. The computer does not turn on. I am just charging the computer now. Could this just be a problem caused by the water damage or a software error. Also could it just be because the battery hasn't been charged and was ran flat last time i used it. Open to any ideas.
    Many Thanks
    Charlie

    Water damage may have affected the logic board or other hardware.

  • Macbook won't turn on...sleep light blinking

    I am working on my sister's macbook, and I just installed new RAM and a new battery. I followed the instructions to a T and everything went fine until I tried to reboot. Now, all it does when I power up is it seems to go into sleep mode. The front light blinks, and the screen remains black. Any ideas on what is going on? I have tried putting the old RAM/battery back in and the same thing happens.
    Please help...i need to fix it so she doesn't kill me!

    You're probably not getting the RAM modules seated tight enough. The can go in real hard.

    You can try disabling emoticons and image previews in your IM appearance settings in your Skype options to see if that changes anything.  Some people running Windows XP have had odd graphical and resource issues with versions of Skype above 7.5.  The alternative solution would be to downgrade to Skype 7.5 for the time being.  You can find links to 7.5 in the thread below. http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-7-6-crashes-on-startup/m-p/4031560/highlight/true#M353247
