HELP!!! My macbook pro cannot start up!!!

I dropped my Macbook Pro 2.4 hardly to the ground on the right bottom days ago and it just cannot start up anymore now.
I can hear the start up chime, but the screen is black and it shuts down automatically.
I doubted it was because the hard drive dead, so I took out the hard drive and anticipated to see at least a folder with a question mark, but nothing - still black and powers off.
HELP!!! Anybody has any idea?

Well unfortunitly it sounds like the fall damaged the laptop to the extent that it doesn't work. Your only option is to send it into apple (or an authorized apple repair) to be fixed. Since the laptop was damaged from a fall you warranty will not cover the repair.

  • Macbook Pro cannot start properly after Yosemite v10.10.3 update

    Hello,
    I have a serious concern with my MacBook pro 13Inch Retina. After the recent update to Yosemite v10.10.3 on 18 April, whenever I start my Mac book, the Apple icon will not show up immediately as usual just black page. It only appear after I press the power bottom again( or sometimes by luck a 5 mins wait) then the icon will appear and system turns into login page.  This is not normal!
    Anyone please help! I am not sure if I were the only one experiencing this or this is a bug come with the recent update.
    Thanks!

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion or Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Now, download and install the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update.

  • Help! Macbook pro wont start!

    So I have recently replaced my old HDD with the new Corsair 128GB SSD and everything was great. The installation was fast and it worked flawlessly.
    One fine morning, it refuses to start. I press the power button and it would just start for 1 sec then turn off. I opened the macbook pro up and put back the old hdd just to see whether its the SSD but even then it wouldn't start up.
    Any idea what could be wrong? I have double checked all the wires and everything which looks fine. Please help!

    Insert the Applications DVD that came with the MacBook, press D key when your computer starts and run the extended test two times. If you haven't got a DVD, press D key when your computer starts

  • Macbook Pro cannot connect to the internet even when others can

    Hi! Please help me. We have an internet WIFI connection in our office but only my MacBook Pro cannot connect even when I entered the correct password. My Iphone and Ipad work just fine. It says "connection timeout" but all other laptops can connect. I tried network diagnostics already and it always say "connection timeout". I dont know what to do anymore.

    Yes, and when I open the Network Utility it shows a working IP address, and a 54Mb/s speed from the wireless router. It even shows the shared computers from my roomates. But when I try to access the internet it does not load anything on Safari or Firefox ( or any other internet application for that matter). It is completely unconnected. YET, As soon as I activate the AirPort card on the top right where I have my signal strength, it shows on the Network Utility information that there are 'packages' being sent and received, and I have NO programs open what so ever, I have closed everything except finder and network utility... Does this mean I am being hacked, or have some sort of Trojan or something in my computer? I ran an antivirus that my school provided, called Virex by McAfee, it came out clean except it says it cannot read one file.
    I tried repairing my disk, and that did not work either. I did the Ram reset like you suggested, but that also did not work. I doubt it being a hardware error. I am going to try to connect it to an ethernet cable to see if that will work. Then I will let you know what happens with that, but that would still not be a solution since I need it wireless, cause the router is in another part of the house.
    Thank you for your help, and I hope we can get this sorted out.

  • MacBook Pro "cannot establish secure connection"

    MacBook Pro "cannot establish secure connection" can't connect to Internet, tried on two separate networks and via wifi and Ethernet. Any suggestions??
    Mac book was connected and working then started giving error message "failed to establish secure connection" now cannot connect to Internet via any network. Either by wifi or Ethernet. However in network settings it says it is connected. iTunes also cannot connect so don't think it is a safari problem. Have also checked networks with other devices and the network itself seems to be working.
    Have further problems with syncing phone (doesn't seem to registering removal of music, storage is not freeing up) but I am hoping that solving Internet connection may solve that problem as well
    Apologies if i am posting in the wrong place!
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated as I am stuck.

  • My macbook pro has started running slowly! Any ideas?

    My macbook pro has started running slowly. Particularly the internet (firefox and safari). I have tried repairing the disk / verifying the disk and the permissions via Disk Utility, and have also tried uninstalling and re-installing firefox, and updating the software (all up to date). None of this has helped.
    The old Dell laptop we have is running faster than my mac!
    I also have Parallels Desktop Installed with Windows 7, although this has never caused a problem in the past...
    I am running with Mac OS X, Version 10.6.8, processor 2.66Ghz Intel Core Duo, and 4GB memory (it's normally lightning fast!).
    Any ideas would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    This is a known problem with Parallels and the recent update for 10.6.8.  You do not need to actually have Parallels running to experience the problem and there is nothing in Activity Monitor that would indicate the issue is related to Parallels.  You can find the explanation on Parallels site.  They have put out an update to correct the problem:
