And this been happening for almost 2 weeks now. OS : Yosemite

Apple Service Centre Report :
Found machine boots with the scramble video.Did the SMC reset tried to boot the machine found the same issue.Tried with the reseating the ram still the same issue.Tried with the removing the airport card and tested still the same issue.Tried with the extrema os still the same issue.Tried with the MLb reseating still the same issue.Tried in the minimal config still the same issue.Therefore sending the quote for MLb.note-Need to test the machine post replacement of the part.
Resolution suggested by Apple Service Centre : Replacement of SVC,PCBA,MLB,2.0GHZ(Exchange)
I googled and found below links :

http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/08/12/apple-ignores-calls-to-fix-2011-macboo k-pro-failures-as-problem-grows
If this issue is common for MacBook 2011 early model, shouldnot apple do something about it?
Is there any way I can get in touch with apple and express my concern?
Thanks
Ankur
The same thing happened to my MPB 2 weeks ago. After a few minutes it turned on and has been fine since.

My mac book pro doesnt start up after a small flash in jack when plugged in
my mac book pro doesnt start up after a small flash in jack when plugged in
It's a mac book pro 17", OS X 10,5 . It worked perfectly but when I (or actually my friend) plugged the jack into the wall outlet it came a small flash (in the wall outlet) and then it didn't start up. No sound, no light on the screen. I didn't actually see what happened, but I asked if she plugged it in with the magsafe wire still attached to the computer, and she believed she might have. Is there anything to do? I have a couple of mac computers, two other mac book pro (writing on the newest one now - 13" - late 2011 - OS X Lion 10.7.5), if it could help.

Why does my mac book pro not show in 1080p on my flat screen
why does my mac book pro not show in 1080p on my flat screen. My mac bookpro always showed in 1080p on a Sanyo Plasma screen. Now when I connect mac book pro I get a blank screen. It will display in 720 but not 1080p. Also will show in 1080i but pictures flicker.
davenug,
given how much we currently know about your MacBook Pro, why do you think that we would know the reason? Please help us to help you by providing relevant information about your MacBook Pro — which model is it? Which version of OS X is installed on it? Is its battery fully charged? Is its AC charger working properly? &c. -

Keep it charging for a while.
If you can, do not use the computer for a while.
Let it charge.

My Mac book pro (2011) start-up goes straight to disk utlities and wont install mavricks.
Hello,
My mac boook pro 2011 wont start up to my internal harddrive. it will sit on the white screen for a bit before it takes me directly to the choose language then disk utlity and shows the;
Time machine
install osx
get help online
disk utlity
Ok so my harddrive is partitoned into two, but everytime i try to delete the partition drive, it wont let me. says (Macintosh HD2 cannot unmount please try again). And everytime i try to earse the free space, it wont do it as well. but its says it did.
Then i try to repair my disk but my verify/repair disc permissions is not choosable but the veriy/repair ARE choosable. i choose verify/repair option and it says everything is fine. but it still wont let me choose verify/repair disk permission. My Saftey Mode is not working ( circle with line through) so i cant fix that problem. I also done the reset PRAM/NVRAM and SMC and still nothing.
Ok the problem goes further. my Mac book pro came installed with Snow Lepord not mavricks but it wants to install mavricks instead. I put my internet into some single thing and it switched it to Lion instead of mavricks. but that isnt the problem (just thought it was weird how it switched OSX system like that) the problem is that it doesnt want to download install any OSX system. First it didnt let me get pass the choose install drive wondow. , then i switched my date in the terminal and was able to sign in but it wont download any OSX system, it would say (Something came up, please try again). My install cd wont work, keeps spitting it out. And trying to do an OSX system download wont work through this browser on disk utltity (not enough space on the drive).
I was deleting log files from my mac through the partitioned drive and i accidently deleted a system folder that had logs. i was wondering if this was the problem and if its making my HD fail ir is my HD done? and can i put Yosemite on a usb and boot it that way or burning it to a CD and doing a cd install?
Please i need help becuase i use my mac for film and editing and my mac wont boot to the desktop, just to this window. ill try to post picutres of what happens.That you are getting the BONG is a good sign, it's unlikely to be hardware if you are able to hear that.
Start by running SW update. It's not that there is a specific fix, but when updating it may rewrite some system files which may get this going again purely as a side affect. Worth a go, and should not harm the system.
Try reset the PRAM - Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Hopefully one of these quick fixes works, otherwise we'll need to try isolate the issue next - so if still having a problem, I'd try create a new user and login as that user to see if the issue persists (which will tell us if it's system wide or user specific) -
I have a mac book pro, which have been left out of battery. After pluging it with the charger it was charging, but when i was pressing the power button to open, nothing happend, it was dead. I left it for about 3 hours for charging and i pressed the power button again and it started. I put it on sleep and after a few hours when i try to open it(the light at the bottom was flashing) i pressed the space and nothing happend. I pressed the power button but still nothing was happening( the light was still flashing.
I hold the power button in order for it to restart and the light stopped flashing. After that i tried to open it but still nothing but a black screen, it was and still is dead.
The battery is charged full.
My mac is 1 year and 3 months old and i have never experienced any problmes.
Any suggestions?

My mac book will not start at all
Suddenly my mac book pro will not turn off. first it started with the computer cutting off rather than going to sleeep then it started cutting off while I was using it. I became worried that there was a problem and went to back up the hard drive on an external hard drive but suddenly the computer would not start at all. before that happened i would get the gray screen with the dial and a bar underneath. Help!

Wifi On Mac Book Pro Not Connecting
The wifi I am about to lose my mind! The wifi on my mac book pro will not connect to my home router. I had this problem when I moved in (2 months ago) and the solution would be to unplug the router and the cable modem and plug them back in a few minuets later. However, that fix is no longer working. My network has a password protected option and one without a password. I can connect to the password protected option fine. However, after a period of time that ranges from a few seconds to a few minuets I will get a pop up that says "connection time out has occurred" and I will no longer have internet connection. I have to go back to the wifi icon on the top tool bar and reselect the network. This happens non-stop. When I try to connect to the other password-protected network I will enter my password and it says connection time out has occurred and will not connect. If I enter the wrong password it just says invalid password. EVERYTHING else I own works on the network. My roku, ipod, ipad, kindle, galaxy 4, my roomate's iPhone, and both my roomates' laptops (neither are macs). It is not a matter of there being too much traffic on the network (like Apple suggested) because I have disconnected literally everything else just to see if it would work and it still did not. My internet works fine when I am on my college campus, but when I go other places like Starbucks or the air port I do notice that my internet is substantially slower then the people sitting next to me.
So I called Apple because I bought the extended apple care. They went through their long list of troubleshooting...it all failed...so naturally they concluded that it must be the router that’s causing the problems.
Its not the router. Everythign else works on the network. There is post after post on here about the same exact thing happening to literally hundreds of other people. It is a brand new router. And at my last apartment wifi was included in the rent (so it was the apartment's router not one I bought) and the same problem still occurred (Apple has record of this because I called them then too). At my old apartment I resorted to just plugging it in the wall with an Ethernet cord but unfortunately, that is not an option at my new house.
Apple said that I can bring it in and have them look at it but it’s obviously going to work there and I really do not have time to drive all the way there for them to just tell me that since it works there it must be router's fault when I know its not.
Has anyone had any luck in dealing with Apple and Apple Care in regards to this issueIt would help us to know which model computer you have, which OS version you're using, how much RAM (if applicable), etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.
This will help in providing you with the correct troubleshooting solutions. The more info about your computer you include, the easier it is to help you.
If you do not know the model of your Mac, you can check under Apple Menu/About This Mac - which is located in the upper left hand corner of your Finder. -
Mac book pro not going to sleep
mac book pro when put to sleep, the monitor turns off, but the light does not indicate sleep mode, I can hear the motor running and it is warm, indicating it is not sleeping. It is an early 08 mac book pro, running Lion, completely updated.
Anyone aware of this issue? Apprectiate any insight.
Thanks
JTAre you **** closing the lid to put it tp sleep? It might be operating in clamshell mode for some reason. Try the drop down menu for the Apple and click sleep, or option, command ,eject.
You can check your login items under accounts, and get rid of all those, by highlighting and using the - sign, it could also be a bluetooth item tha is keeping your mac from sleeping, a phone headset, mouse, etc. If it is a blurtooth yhing turn off blurtoth till you need it. -
