K7T266 Pro won't power on

I have a new (used) K7T266 Pro that won't power on. Could this be caused by JBAT1 being in the clear position? The manual shows JBAT1 but the board actually has two jumpers on it right next to each other. Can't tell which one is JBAT1. What does the other jumper do? It's not listed in the manual. I tried with working Athlon XP 1600+ and PC2100 RAM. I also tried with no CPU and no RAM. Thought I'd at least get some beeps. No luck. Any ideas?

Thanks for the info. The board has two seperate jumper blocks on it. Both with 3 pins. They are very close to each other. The manual only references one jumper though (JBAT1) By looking at the board it hard to tell which one is JBAT1. Not sure what the other one does.
Thanks again.
It is often very difficult to see the markings on a board, especially if the board it mounted in the case. I have a pair of magnifying glasses and a high powered flashlight for just such occations. See if you can download the manual from MSI and open it on your computer. You may then be able to zoom in on the picture to see more details.
Some manuals even gray out the items that are not of much interest in order to highlight the ones that are. You can sometimes find the exact location from the various landmarks on the board. Usually it is easy to spot various chipsets, connectors, etc. to find your place. It is like reading a map, except for the roads, lol.

MacBook pro won't power up! Acting asleep, black screen, fans don't fire up. Light nr catch pulsing, have taken batt out and reset but still blank screen, help!!

MacBook pro won't power up! Acting asleep, black screen, fans don't fire up. Light nr catch pulsing, have taken batt out and reset but still blank screen, help!!

You may want to try this.
Solution A
Start up your MBP while pressing Option (alt)|, Command, P, R until your hear 3 chimes rather than 2 as indicated by apple. This worked for me the first time.
Solution B
Start your MBP while pressing Option (alt), Command, S
Hold until you see the computer automatic routine. When it finally stops type the following followed by "return":
fsck -fy
It will probably indicate some problem related to "pcscd.pub" (should be 16 instead of 17). I haven't figured out what this means but somewhere in the Internet i read it is related to scan cards...
More importantly this routine will fix any problems with your HDD similarily to disk repair. When it ends, it will tell you if it has fixed/modified anything. If it has, run the routine again by typing again "fsck -fy"
Lastly, reboot by typing "reboot" (followed by "return")
Solution C
Start up your MBP while pressing option (alt), command, S
hold keys until you see computer commands scrolling
when the routine stops type the following, each line followed by the "return" key:
mount -uw /
chmod 775 /
chmod 1775 /
reboot
After which your computer should reboot on it's own.
Each of the above has worked for me at one time or another. Once your computer has rebooted from the DVD you can reinstall OS X. If your problems started after installing 10.5.6, then I don't suggest updating until 10.5.5.
I'm very very disappointed with my 2007 MBP, it started to give me problems after 1 year. had to change the HDD and lately when I isntalled 10.5.6 it suddenly refused to start up., My previous Mac laptop (2003 866Mhz) worked for 4 years without a hitch. Ironically I've had to use it to access the internet and find solutions for my current MBP.
best of luck

15" MacBook pro won't power up

I'm using a 15" MacBook pro from July 08 running snow leopard. When I went to recently turn it on I realized the battery had died since the last time I used it. After letting the battery charge up to at least 2-3 lights and keeping it plugged in, I tried to power up. When I push the power and release, the fans and drives start then shut off instantly. If I keep the power pushed in it stays on until the light on the front latch starts to blink and everything shuts off. I tried with only battery, only power adapter but no luck. I followed every step on apple's troubleshooting page for a MacBook that won't power up but nothing has changed. I will take my computer to the apple store if need be, but I'd rather be able to fix this myself.
Any help?

What were all the steps you tried to do? Some people say this but they don't do everything because everything is not in the book:
Reset the SMC:
-Pull the battery
-Unplug the MagSafe adapter
-Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds then release
-Wait 5 seconds
-Put the battery back in
-Plug in the power
If the SMC reset does not resolve the issue make an appointment most likely you are having a hardware issue and probably need to replace your logic board.

Help! Macbook Pro won't power up!

Hi, I have a new 2011 MBP 15" (1.5 months old).
When its up and running it works fine, and I'm able to shut down and restart it normally. As soon as I leave it off for more than a few hours (usually this happens overnight when I shut down the computer before going to bed)
The next morning the computer won't power up at all. When I press the power button I can hear something whirring/spinning and then 3-5 secs later the power just cuts off. The screen doesn't even light up, I don't get to hear the apple chime at all. Repeated attempts to power up the system get this same result.
I suspected it was due to cold weather (winter in Perth now). I find that every cold morning if i warmed up my macbook placing it near the heater, it will be able to boot normally after it has warmed up. But if ever the machine gets a chance to cool down, it goes into a coma? This happens when I put the mac to sleep and am away from it for more than an hour, it won't wake up!
This is so dissapointing to come from a product that comes at such a premium price. I hope I can get some help on this! It's really really frustrating.
I am reset the PRAM and SMC several times and they dont seem to do the trick. I ran the apple hardware tests, even in extended mode and they all detect no problems. Hellpppp

How cold is cold where your MBP is? In any case take it to an Apple store or AASP. If none availanle call AppleCare.

Replaced HDD, now MacBook Pro won't power on.

Just bought a new HDD, Seagate Momentus 750Gb (link below). Installed it in my MacBook Pro, replacing the old 160Gb drive (also a Seagate Momentus, older version though) and when I tried to boot my laptop back up it won't even power on. I don't hear anything starting up, and the status light on the front doesn't turn on either. Putting the old drive back in and booting up it works perfectly fine, just like it did before swapping drives. The drive is supposed to be compatible with my laptop (MacBook Pro 3,1 Late 2007 15"). The drive is not partitioned or formatted, but this should not affect the laptop from powering up. I have no other computer to try the drive in to see if it is DOA but even if it were it again should not affect the laptop from powering up. Any advice on what could be causing the problem or something that I may have overlooked would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Chris

Hi c,
Your options, as I see them:
1. Contact Seagate tech/warranty support and see what they have to say.
2. Get an external enclosure to try the HD in.
3. Find another MBP to try the HD in.

MacBook Pro Won't Power Up dammit

I recently got my Mac Pro back up and running after purchasing a new battery and a new wall charger. It still will not power up after resetting the SMC and PRAM multiple times.
I'm pretty savvy with my computer for a girl, and please don't take offense, I mean that in the oldest fashion, lol. **** thing still won't start up, and I'm beginning to freak out about the logic board because I recently lost a 5c to that and still have ApplePTSD.
HELP?!!!....

Have you tried everything here:

Mac Pro won't power optical drive or internal hard drives?!?!?!?!

I'm in a strange predicament. I've acquired a used 2006 Mac Pro that I've gotten to power up just fine. I get the start up chime and the screen goes grey. The problem is that it will stay on that grey screen for 5 minutes or so until a flashing folder appears. It never loads the OS. So I've loaded the OS on an old Firewire external HDD and the computer will boot fine off of that. When using the external, I've noticed that System Profiler is not detecting my internal HDD or optical drive. I do not think they are receiving any power. They both show no signs of activity, functionally or audibly. I've tried reseting the SMC, zapping PRAM- even swapping power supplies. Nothing. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi Grant Bennet-Alder. The HDD and optical drive are both installed and all the cables are connected to both the logic board and the devices themselves. The reason I think they aren't receiving power is usually you can hear some activity from them. These seem completely dead but work fine in a different computer.

Mac Pro won't power up

I'm running a Mac Pro, 2.66 with 2g memory. The only "custom" modification I've made is to add a second hard drive and partition it for Windows using Boot Camp. I did this shortly after I got the machine (a couple months ago) and it has worked fine since.
We had a power outage locally, and my Mac would have been in sleep mode at the time (I was at work). I have the Mac plugged into a UPS (though I'm not 100% certain of the rating, I bought a fairly large one). The power outage was due to a storm, though the UPS has surge protection also.
When I came home, the Mac was in sleep mode, with the front power LED indicator ON. I could not wake it, and the only way to power it off was to hold the power button.
However, once shut down, the computer will no longer power up. It often clicks when I push the power button, and there's a faint sound / electrical hum like it's going to turn on, but no fan / hard drive noise.
I have attempted to reset the SMC per the directions on the support site. When the mac is unplugged, nothing happens when I hit the SMC_RST button. When it's plugged in, two led indicators flash red.
I've attempted to start it up plugged into the UPS as well as bypassing the UPS and plugging directly into the wall.
I think repair / shot power supply might be my final answer here, but I want to check to see if anyone has any advice before I drive a couple hours to my closest apple store.
Thanks for any assistance, even if it's just, "hey, you're SOL."

I have tried both methods of resetting the SMC (all cables out, plug in, power up, and the second method of opening the thing up and hitting the SMC_RST button, which I've done both plugged in and not) and that doesn't appear to be working.
When I hit the power button, it's obviously getting some juice (lights flicker), there's a click and a faint electric whine, but neither the fans nor the drives start up.
The only other oddity is that two of the LEDs flash red when I hit the SMC_RST button, but they're not on or flashing at any other time.
What confuses me about the issue is that the front power LED was on when I first got home, so it wouldn't seem like it could be a total absence of power (and indeed the flickering of LEDs upon pressing SMC_RST seems to indicate that there's electricity somewhere, at least). However, I can't get fans or drives or even the front LED to light.
I've moved the computer off the UPS and to a different circuit, repeated all SMC_RST steps there, and no luck.
Is there anything that prevents even the fans and drives from starting? (Like, if I don't plug in the keyboard or display, should it at least power up and beep? I've tried with these things plugged in and not plugged in and it doesn't seem to make a difference...)
Thanks

MacBook Pro won't power up. No charger light

I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro 15" with 2.4Ghz i7 w/ OSX 10.8.4
I did an Apple software update today. It included updates to iTunes and i think a Thunderbolt update also. It requested a system restart so I went ahead and restarted it and left the room. When I came back in about 10 minutes later it was powered off. I tried to start it back up but it won't do anything. The light on the charger wasn't on either. I tried another socket and another charger and same thing. Before the update I had a full charge on the battery and the charger was lit up so I'm pretty sure its not an issue with the charger or battery. Tonight I looked at it again and noticed that the charger light is on its just very dim where you can berely see it.
Has anyone seen this issue before? I have seen a few other posts similar but none where everything just died all at once. My warranty is out so I'm trying to find a way to repair it myself if possible. I use this laptop to do alot of video editing so it gets pretty hot at times. Hopefully its not damaged beyond repair. I have alot of PC repair experience but I've never messed with a Mac other than upgrading RAM.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Thanks for your quick response.
I probably should have mentioned this before but I just got it back from repair about a month ago. I had a problem with one of the USB ports not working sometimes. They replaced the logic board and both RAM sticks. I will try the SMC reset when I get home in the morning. I bought it refurbished from Apple and the warranty just ran out about 2 weeks ago so hopefully the SMC reset will do something.
I did try removing the battery connector today for about 10 minutes but that didn't have any affect.
Thanks again for your help.

Old Mac Pro won't power up

We have an old Mac Pro-no clue what year and it will not power up. The power light comes on when you press it, but then nothing. We did change out the battery once already and the computer worked for over a week, but now its back to not working. I can't afford to continue replacing the battery at $20 a pop, is there anything else we can do?

US$25 will buy you 100 of those batteries:

Macbook Pro won't power on, what should my game plan be?

Hello,
So I have a 17" 2.53 ghz i5 500gb MBP from Mid 2010 running snow leopard (can't remember which os). I have never really had issues with it other than a busted cd-drive. Around October, I plugged my old iphone 4 into the usb port and my computer completely shut down. When plugged in, the green charging light is lit up, but the laptop will not power on. The LED light in the front blinks, starting dim and getting brighter for approx. 1.5 seconds, then abruptly blinks off and starts again. All of the side green lights blink when I press the little button next to them. I tried resetting both the NVRAM and the SMC to no avail. When I press the power button, it makes a very faint sound as if its about to start up, and repeats that sound, but otherwise nothing happens.
I have since bought a new (much less expensive) Acer laptop that I am more than happy with, but I'd like to know if there is any way I can fix it or get it fixed for a reasonable price, as well as what is specifically wrong with it, in order to sell it for a higher price. Gazelle offered me $50, which is a pretty low blow considering I bought it for over $2000 less than 5 years ago. Should I attempt to bring it in to the apple store, or maybe try craigslist? Or just bite the bullet and go with gazelle...

Do make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation. At least then you will be in a position to make an informed decision, whether to sell it as is or repair it.
Ciao.

MacBook Pro won't power up and no charger light after USB device was plugged in

Hey guys,
I have a late 2012 MacBook Pro 13" with a water damage that didn't cause any troubles (until now).
A couple of days ago I plugged in a Samsung tablet to recharge it's battery on my MacBook. At the same time my screen went black and the MacBook powered off. No usual forced low-battery-shutdown or anything, it just died. From then on the charger light didn't work and I wasn't able to start the Computer anymore. From time to time the charger light was flickering a little bit but way darker than the usual luminosity. The Laptop had a water damage about a year ago, which didn't cause any trouble. I dried and aired it for a couple of days and didn't switch it on during that time. It worked normal for the rest of the year but now I think the mainboard is ******. Please tell me something different, or the truth even though it might be shattering.
Just in case it might be important. I was backpacking in Sri Lanka when the incident took place. It didn't seem like there was an overvoltage or anything like that though...
Thank you guys and have a good day.
Alex

Liquid damage is progressive.
Best action that can be done is to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out
and repaired if possible and affordable.
Best.

MacBook Pro won't power up

Hey guys, so my internet browser was taking long to load so I decided to shut down my computer and restart it. Well when I went to **** it down some of the programs didn't want to close and we're loading forever so I just forced shut down. Now it won't turn back on and I'm kinda freaking out. Please help.

Resetting SMC could solve the problem.
