HT3964 Macbook pro wont turn on

I have resetted the SMC on my macbook pro and now caps lock light turns on when I turn on my laptop, however the power button still does not light up and the screen still does not work. When I first try to turn it on I hear a very soft high pitch sound for about a second but nothing happens after that. At this point should I just bring it to the apple store?

Yes, take it in for service. Be sure to take you AC adapter just in case it's gone bad.

  • HT3964 MacBook Pro not turning on

    My MacBook Pro is not turning on, It turns on to white screen with apple logo and loading bar below it doesn't do nothing after. I bought this computer dec 2011 and hardly used it since.  Last time used it 2 months ago and it was working fine.

    Is the machine fully charged up?
    Do a #1 SMC Reset and connect the power to a line in the walls that doesn't have a lot of other outlets and other things plugged into it so your getting the maximum power possible overnight.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    It appears your machine is booting, the white screen and spinning thingy is what occurs if OS X can't boot up, the gray progress bar is what occurs at boot is the fsck drive check and if it stops and doesn't continue means it can't fix the problem with the drive.
    It might ran out of power, why I say to charge it up fully and do the SMC reset which will fix the setting if the battery really isn't charged up, but the machine thinks it is.
    White screen and spinny, gray bar that stops, could be something wrong with the file structure on the drive.
    Run through this list of fixes, including doing a Hardware Check and Repair Disk in Disk Utility, look for the SMART status.

    If you can't get it to work despite methodically working through  those repair options, then scheduale a appointment with Apple.

  • Macbook Pro wont turn on - sometimes

    I have mid-2009, 13 inch Macbook Pro. Recently I am noticing trouble. Once in a while when I put it to sleep by closing the lid, the light stays lit (which is suppose to go on and off indicating sleep). And when I open the lid, there is nothing on the screen and the light goes away. I close the lid, again the light lits up and stays up. So the macbook wont turn on.
    Does anyone have any idea why is this? I sometimes keep the power button pressed for 5-6 seconds and force shutdown and boot again and then it works. Is it a good idea? is there any other way in these situation?
    Is there something wrong in the hardware?
    Please help ...

    Sachadon,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    When you try to wake your computer when opening the lid have you tried tapping one of the keys on the keyboard to wake it?
    If that does not work then try doing a SMC reset follow these instructions.
    SMC RESET
    It is possible you are having hardware problems with the lid sensor but let try some other steps first.
    Regards,
    Roger

  • New Macbook Pro Wont turn after discharge

    Hello everyone,
    I just purchased my 3rd mac in the past 2 years, yeah that's how hooked I am, now windows free 99% and love it...
    My brand new macbook pro has a very annoying issue.. if I use it on battery power and it discharges completely I have to wait up to 15 minutes after connecting it to power to be able to turn it back on again. this is so frustrating as I am sometimes doing some work and have to get away from the computer for a few minutes.. If it discharges within that time and I come back to continue my work guess what.. I need to wait all this time even after connecting it to power to resume my work...
    Does anyone has the same problem? is this normal? I've searched google and haven't found the same problem on anyone else unless they are OK with that and just don't report it... I've never had this problem with any other laptop I own and is extremely annoying, my wife's macbook doesn't do that, if it discharges and goes to sleep you can just connect the magsafe adapter and it will come right back up.
    your comments will be greatly appreciated.

    My MBP has always come back immediately. So has my old iBook. I rarely discharge my battery completely, but will do so on occasion to calibrate it. But I have never had the problem you describe. My personal opinion is that the long delay is definitely not normal.
    Out of curiosity, next time your Mac shuts down like this, remove the battery and see if it will start up immediately. If it does, you could possibly have a faulty battery. If it still takes a lot of time to start up with the battery removed, there is something else wrong. I have never heard of anything quite like this. Since you didn't mention excessive heat, that wouldn't be a factor.
    Be sure you can reproduce the condition for the Apple genius. They have to see it to be able to do anything. Go in a bit early with a low battery and run it out in the store, so you can show them exactly what it is doing.
    Good luck!

  • My 4month old Macbook pro wont turn on unless plugged in, but remains on after unplugged.

    I got a brand new macbook pro 4months old.  What happens is it does not turn un unless it is plugged in when I unplug it though it is fine and will run till it dies, BUT if I were to close it and put it to sleep it will not turn back on. I would have to plug it back in and turn it on then I can unplug it and it will be fine till it falls back asleep.
    Once I do turn it back on, a pop up says that I need to re adjust the clock and another trying to search for the internet, even if I was already connected with is 5 min ago. Even apps like tweetdeck and facbook would reset and I would have to enter all my information again, where as before it would just remain there.
    I have NO idea why it is like this and I am not really familiar with a Mac and its OS but any information would be greatly appreciate!
    Thanks!

    Bring it to an Apple store or AASP. You are under warranty.

  • My brand new MacBook Pro wont turn on

    If you ever wondered if there's anything worse then buying a new macbook pro, waiting two weeks till you receive it only to find out that after you unbox it, slowly and carefuly, connect it to the MegaSafe Power adapter and hitting the On key it will not turn on or even respond then I can honestly say, I've never felt disappointed as I do now.
    The green LED on the power connector ain't shinin aswell.
    I've tried several power adapters, didn't make a change.
    I tried connecting a MacBook power adapter and the green LED turned on, then faded to black after about 10 seconds.
    Nothing's going on the screen when i press the power button and the power adapter seems to work properly.
    Other then slitting my wrists, what can I do? what could be the problem?

    Im currently in the middle east and bought it in Canada, then sent by xpress(air mail), so I can't do that.
    Any other suggestions?
    Repairing it frightens me, by going to a premium reseller and leaving it there for them to fix it, even if I get new hardware, do you think it will have any effect on the device?
    I don't trust them here tempering with my baby

  • Macbook pro wont turn on

    I've updated the maverick software which required a retart. on restart my macbook pro 13" (mid 2012) keeps freezing and shutting itself down after mid way loading. if i try to turn it on again it freezes on the grey screen with apple logo loading...HELP i cant get past this!
    Previous to this my mac has been running very slow for some unknown reason since i have moved to mexico.

    OK... so in order to not mess that drive up any more than it already is, you need to get some things. That's going to include some tools (cheap), an external enclosure (cheap) and another hard drive (not as cheap). The tools and enclosure together will be around $20 and a 1 tb hard drive is around $80. I'll give you the exact stuff to get from Amazon if you want. Are you still game?
    By the way, if you want to make it a LOT faster than what it was even new, an SSD is much faster than a hard drive. Costs more, of course. Do you know how big your existing drive is?

  • My Macbook PRO wont turn on!!!

    Hi Guys,
    My Macbook Pro went to sleep due to no battery last night. When I woke up today, I pluged in the power cord to my Laptob and It shows me that the battery is full now.
    However, I'm unable to turn my Macbook Pro on. I purchased this laptob only a few weeks ago so It is not the old version. I tried to reset the SMC as well, but It does not work. I dont hear the spinning of the hard drive nor any of its fan...It looks completeley dead and I cannt turn it on. The battery light shows full battery...But it just dead.
    Can any one help with that?

    Personally, I would not troubleshoot a "new" computer that will not start.   Especially one that is "weeks" old.  You are still under warranty and I strongly suggest that you take advantage of your 90 days of FREE phone tech support from Apple.  Call them asap!!
    Good luck!

  • Macbook pro wont turn on but charger lighting

    Last night my ceiling leaked wah nowon my macbook pro 2012 model 13" .
    I immediatley followed steps people all recommend (turn it upside down, unplug it from plug, turn off, dry up, put in rice, blow dry.). I couldnt take the battery out bc I dont have the proper screw driver. I thought over 24 hours in optimum conditions would do, so I tried turning it on.
    It didnt turn on. I put in the charger, it turned green. I look at the side and see 1 green light flashing (indicating I have 1 bar?).
    Anyway, im really lost what do here. Is it officially broken? Should I buy screw driver and take out battery? Any idea the next steps? Im trying to stay optimistic but I have no idea about the diagnosis....I have read many forums but none I can fully relate to
    Please help!!!!
    Thanks

    put in rice,
    Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.
    Liquid damage is not covered under Apple's standard 1 year warranty or Apple Care.
    NOTE:  If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with.   They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).  
    If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.
