Has anyone had any issues with the sleep indicator light?

I have a 15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz (Late 2009) and recently I have noticed some issues involving the sleep indicator light and my Mac sleeping.
I learned that the sleep indicator light is supposed to be on when you press the power button until the chime sounds and then its supposed to be recognized when the computer sleeps or when the lid is closed.
Lately, the sleep indicator light has not be working when the computer boots (it still chimes), when the computer shuts down or when the computer is sleeping. The computer still sleeps if you close the lid, but it acts up when you don't and use the Apple menu (Apple > Sleep), keyboard shortcuts (CmdOptionMedia Eject) or use the power button and select "Sleep". Usually when I use this method instead of closing the lid, the authentication login window appears and when I click "cancel", the computer sleeps.
But still the sleep indicator light does not appear any time. I'm wondering if I need to get my Mac serviced. I still have a 2-year Best Buy Geek Squad warranty on the MacBook Pro.
+It is weird that this is happening to me, cause my computer is only 1 year and 4 months old.+
Is there anything you know that would help fix this issue.

The microUSB cables are fairly common... most portable electronics today use them for file transfer/charging.
If the user does not own one, they can be purchased from most retailers fairly inexpensively.

  • TS1702 Has anyone had any issues with the app scramble with friends after updating to iOS 6. The touch screen is not responding properly when selecting the tiles but worked fine before the update

    Has anyone had an issue with the app scramble with friends after upgrading to iOS 6. Tapping the screen will not select the tiles and hold them.

    Yes I am having the same problem. I can't find any info about it and nothing seems to help. I am just posting this in hope that if it's a wider problem, there will be a quick solution.

  • Has anyone had any issues with the most recent update?

    I just did the latest software update for my Apple TV, and now the little light is blinking fast, and the only picture on the screen is of the Apple TV with a white cable leading to the iTunes icon. Any ideas what's going on with my Apple TV? I tried unplugging it, but it didn't change a thing.. Any ideas or suggestions on the way ahead are much appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Has anyone had any problems with the latest upgrade for iPad?

    I have an iPad 1 and am being prompted to upgrade to the latest version software. Has anyone had any problems when doing this? Our PC runs on Wndows 7.
    Having just resolved iTunes not connecting to the store after the recent upgrade, I'm reluctant to do something that could potentially screw up the iPad which does what we want as it is.

    Ok, thanks for that. I'll hang fire for the moment & see if anyone else has any comments.
    That's probably a good idea.  If you are happy with the system as is, I'd wait to upgrade.  I can report that my friends and family have mostly upgraded to iOS 5 without any problems, but as you can probably tell from other posts on this board, lots of people have run into problems. 
    As the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

  • Has anyone had any problems with the 10.0.3 upgrade?

    I'm running WinXP and presently have Adobe Reader 9.4.3.  Before I upgrade I would like to find out if anyone has had any problems with the new release?  The last time I upgraded an Adobe product (Flash) it screwed up my ability to watch videos on my browser.
    Any information would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Adobe Reader has the original 10.0.0 with its associated vulnerabilities and the patch of 10.0.1 which seems unable to run in protected mode in my environment or any that have roaming profiles.  The vulnerabilities that prompted the last two patches (would have been 10.0.2 and 10.0.3) have been forgone by Adobe, because "Protected Mode mitigates those vulenrabilities".  See here:  http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-06.html
    and here: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-02.html
    In my opinion, Reader X is not ready, they are soliciting for testers for a new release.  Version 9 with its attendant problems seems to be the only viable solution for me, if I can get the patches to apply properly, and the installer to work properly.

  • Has anyone had any issue with opening a new tab and the address bar not connecting to websites in 33.1.1?

    I think ever since we moved to v33, I've been having an irritating issue that whenever I open a new tab that isn't connected to a website yet and try to enter a website address, it won't connect to ANY website. Doesn't matter if I hit Enter to try to make it go, doesn't matter if I click the right-pointing arrow button to make it go, doesn't work. I can go into a tab already connected to a website, type in a new website there and it'll create a new tab and take me to the new website, but not if I use new tab button.
    Anyone else had this issue? Any fixes?

    Sorry, that didn't help as I'm able to connect to websites, just not in a particular way.
    For instance, I am able to type in and connect to websites IF the tab is already in use with a website (i.e. if I were to type "yahoo.com" in the address bar of this tab FF would open a new tab and take me to yahoo.com) but not when it is a completely new tab.

  • Has anyone had any problem with the multi choice tick boxes on a windows computer?

    I have just created a form with check boxes on my iMac, emailed it to a windows based account and found that the check boxes don't work in windows explorer. Has anyone else had this problem?

    If your Mac is truly running MacOS 10.2.x, you are limited to using 128-bit WEP security - WPA is not supported.
    On the Linksys router, select 128-bit WEP and enter a passphrase. The router will generate, from the passphrase, four hexadecimal-format WEP keys. Copy down the FIRST of those four WEP keys - and use that WEP key on your Mac when prompted.

  • Has anyone had any trouble with the Move tool in Photoshop (v14.2.1)? I'm getting a dimmed bounding box akin to the transform bounding box, but this one won't let me apply or escape.

    Having trouble suddenly with the Move tool creating a bounding box that wont let me release it by any means. It remains there no matter what, and now I'm having trouble using the Paste Into command.

    Are you trying to move a background layer by any chance or a layer that is partially locked?? If you have show bounding checked in the option bar you should see the bounding box.

  • Has anyone had an issue with the Last Software Update for Lion 10.7 causing a system to be non-bootable? As of 12 June 2012?

    I recently did a Software Update of OSX 10.7.4 (on June 12, 2012). It was on an iMac 27" Mid 2010.
    After the Update, the system froze on a grey screen, the update failing. The mouse was still active, but the system was otherwise frozen.
    The keyboard Caps Lock light would not respond. After waiting 15 minutes, I did a Power-Off by holding down the power buttone.
    Upon reboot, the system gave a "grey screen of death" with a lernel Panic, noting the following was on the screen.
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff800064ba7b): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI'.\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1699.26.8/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:15 04
    No safe mode.
    Alt boot disk list woill not work.
    Only Cmd-R to get to Revovery Boot.
    I am currentluy restoring off Time Machine Backup taken earlier today.

    Yes. Many are having this issue and it's from Apple's Thunderbolt Update which was released yesterday to support Apple's new Thunderbolt adaptors.

  • Has anyone had any problems with their charger blowing out?

    Has anyone had any problems with their charger blowing out? mine blew, there's now a charred pin on the charger and in the socket of the macbook. The plastic around the charge socket is also cracked & distorted from the blow-out. It wasn't a power surge as no other electrical items were affected. It wasn't liquid or dust, as I'm the only person who uses it & I'm very careful. I'm concerned that the consequences could have been terrible. I wasn't present when it happened though, I can just see the evidence after the event.
    I have a mid 2010 13" Macbook running the latest software & use the original magsafe charger that came with it.
    Will I have to fork out for a costly repair or is there a safety issue that Apple will sort out for me?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Everything in the box with iPhone is covered by the iPhone warranty ,go  to Apple genius bar before warranty expires

  • Has anyone had an issue with group addressing in OS X 10.9 Mail

    Has anyone had an issue with group addresses in Mail after installing Mavericks?  Both my MBP-15 and my Mac Pro stopped automatically filling in the addresses when I typed the name of the group that I have in Contacts, after updating to Mavericks.  Prior to updating they worked just fine.

    The first is appropriate if you want to send as an undlisclosed resicpient. The second method shows all addresses.

  • Has anybody had any problems with the ODBC driver version 10.2.0.2.0?

    Hi,
    I have experienced a problem with my current version of the ODBC driver (version 10.1.0.2) and have been advised to upgrade to the newest version 10.2.0.2.0.
    As the driver was only released a couple of months ago, I am a bit wary about upgrading. Has anybody out there had any issues with the reliability of this driver or does it seem to be pretty stable?
    Thanks very much,

    I did find a way to at least start the IDE though.
    Either comment out SetJavaVM in the jdev.conf or start jdev with the -client option
    Also to note:
    I downloaded the jdk 1.4.2 32 bit for x86 and i can't get jdev to start:
