Mac book pro won't turn on and battery is fully charged..

My Mac book won't turn on... The battery is fully charged, we have it hooked up to power... We've tried holding power button down and disconnecting from power but nothin have worked! It makes a noise like its going to turn on and little white light flashes but nothing happens

Try a safe boot, see if it starts, this takes a bit longer. Push power button while holding shift key, continue to hold key till you see the progress bar. If it boots, shut down and try to boot in the normal way. Best

Yes if your model MBP has a removable battery. If it does not:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Macbook pro has trouble turning on when battery is fully charged

I have fixed the logic board of my MacBook Pro through Apple service care around a month ago due to liquid damage. It has been working perfectly fine until reccently it has been having problem turning on when battery is fully charged to 100%. The laptop automatically shuts down and is unable to turn on again unless I unplug the charger. It still works perfectly fine when the battery is not 100% and the battery is still able to charge properly.
I still have 90 day warranty for my service repairment but I'm currently on vaccation and will not be back on time. Wondering if anyone had the same situation or solutions to the problem! Thank!

Thanks for the help!
I have tried SMC and it doesnt seem to respond in any way. I'm not really sure what the PRAM test is.
I've tried calling Apple in the states but it requries me to pay 49 USD in order to get a tech person to talk to me.
I'm currently in Asia and we don't have any Apple Stores, we do have Authorized dealers here but I'm not sure if they will be able so assist me without asking me for service charge. Do you happen to know if there's any contact I would be able to phone without being transfered?
By the time I get back to the states I'm going to be 2 days after the 90 days warranty (August 16th) and I don't know if I should wait and risk it?

Mac book pro won't turn on after after accidentally shutting it down during updating

Please help, I was updating my Mac book pro and accidentally shut it off. Now it wont turn on, it shows the apple logo and the continuous cycle circle.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to a pre-2013 Mac Pro tower, not to any other model. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Mac book pro won't turn on mavericks

I successfully upgraded to Mavericks 2 weeks ago and have been having sporadic problems.
Today my Mac Book Pro 15" 2012 edition (not retina) turned off while I was using it and will not turn back on.
Anyone have a similiar problem?

Hello ColeSF,
It sounds like you have been using OS X 10.9 for a bit and suddenly in the middle of using it, the computer shut down will not turn back on. I was researching what could be causing this to happen and found this article that should help you troubleshoot the issue named:
Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1367
Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter.
Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.

If you are still unable to start up your computer after trying each of these steps, visit an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for further diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Mac Book Pro won't turn on

I have a september 2008 Mac book Pro 15". Last night it switched itself off for no reason. I was able to turn it back on again and carry on using. Today however it won't turn on or do anything. I have checked the battery and it is charged. The power adapter is also fine (tried a different one as well), but when I press the power button, nothing whatsoever happens. Anyone got any suggestions?! Thanks

See if this offers any assistance. if not, then a trip to a repair facility is in order.

Mac Book Pro won't turn on or power up

Take it into your local Apple Store or an AASP. You shouldn't be having those sort of problems on a month-old computer.

Mac book pro 15" 2.3 ghz the battery cannot be charged. the upper corner right says it's plugged in but not charging.

I just brought my Mac book pro 15" 2.3 ghz on 12 september 2012 not even one week I've used it the battery cannot be charged.
the upper corner right says it's plugged in but not charging.
How do I solve this I'm going to London the next week! (23/09/2012)
I need this replaced or repaired ASAP. Is tat possible? It hasn't being used for even a week and it's already cause such a trouble? Is this what Mac is?

Hi Steve,
I just got back from the apple service centre. I must say they treat us pretty bad and raising voices and stuffs.. If you wanna question or doubt on such service, I've recoded everything in my mobile and iPad. The company I brought from is TECHNOCRATS in 1Borneo Hypermall. The service centre headquarters is DIGITAL FORTRESS SDN. BHD. located in Damai Point.
Here's what happened..
I went in the service centre and disappointingly, no one entertain us (my boyfriend and I).. we stood there for a few minutes. :(
Till we enquire for administration and problems. A girl said she doesn't know much. She gave me a number to her superior named Charles. She asked us to contact him. Then we asked "aren't you suppose to call your superior regarding to this matter?". "it's this the part of your profession to call Charles? Why is it my job to find him?"
Soon the lady calls him and she passed the phone to my partner.
Wow, there was raising voices and stuffs in the phone. So my partner asked him to come up to the office and discuss this matter since he was jst downstairs. For your information this is the second visit of the day, so we visited the second time after lunch hour which is 2:15pm
Well it was dramatic, Charles with his raising voices and terrible attitude for a greeting. So he straight forward blamed us for not putting the mbp down to the registration. (FYI no one there bothers to serve us for the 1st and 2nd visit). For my concern, this mbp is not cheap. And how can I just put down my laptop and leave? Without any rational reasons.
Long story short, I told him my problem and he said he will make a diagnosis and will return the answer to me tomorrow probably before noon.
Here's what I'm upset about. I enquire about the genius bar. He kinda felt offended and told me tat only apple store has genius bar! Im just asking you don't néed to be so loud on this.. I'm still very new to Mac products and stuffs.
Now that I have sent in my Mac book pro to diagnosis with the cables and everything. Hope to get the answers soon and hope it wasn't really bad since it was new.
Now its pretty much scarred on my side about Mac's Brand. I just wanted a reasonable solving problem and yet I get negative feedbacks from the service centre. Is this how it should end? I'm still pretty upset right now.
Any suggestions for me? Please?
Worried,
Shirley

Hello, see if this helps...
The following table lists the new tones and their meaning:
Tone(s)    Description
1 tone, a 5-second pause, repeat    No RAM installed
3 successive tones, a 5-second pause, 3 successive tones    RAM does not pass data integrity check
1 long tone when holding down the power button    Firmware upgrade in process. See About firmware updates for Intel-based Macs for more details.
3 long tones, 3 short tones, 3 long tones    Firmware restoration from CD in process. See About the Firmware Restoration CD (Intel-based Macs) for more details.

Can you count the beeps or flashes?
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

Unibody 15" Mac Book Pro won't turn on after Left Fan replacement

Hi Guys,
Over the last few days the crackling noises from my fan had gotten worse, so I decided to take some action and I replaced fan myself.
Now I've fitted the new fan but when I try to turn the computer on, nothing happens, nothing at all.
The power button seems unresponsive. I've tried starting the computer both with a fully charged battery and on only power but this still doesn't seem to work.
Could someone please advise!
Thanks!

You have a machine that's still under the manufacturer warranty, and you decided to DIY (do-it-yourself) and you DIW (did-it-wrong). Not sure why you wouldn't just have taken it in for service...
Take it to Apple. You'll have to pay for them to fix it now, in all likelihood, since you caused a bigger problem by attempting to fix the original problem yourself.

MacBook Pro won't turn on after closing lid & fully charged. Help!

I have a MacBook Pro from June 2008, I have been using it all day, this evening it was fully charged and I left it on with the screen open - by the time I came back the screen was black ( I assumed it had gone to sleep) I closed the lid to take it upstairs to discover that when I opened it the power light was not on. When I press the power button nothing happens, but if I hold the power button for around 5 seconds the light stays on, the laptop sounds like it is trying to start up but then dies. I have tried the smc reset, but it has not worked. Also tried taking the battery out and trying this with just power adapter. Does anyone have any clues to what is wrong? Or do I just take it into the apple store?
Thanks, really could do with some help!!

Hey Pascale,
I am not sure if you have fixed this but I had the same problem and found some advice from another website...
http://www.adeepbite.com/lion-seems-having-insomnia-it-doesnt-sleep-easily/
All I had to do was turn off my "internet sharing" (System preferences -> Sharing -> Internet Sharing (uncheck) )
and presto, no more closing lid problems.
If your internet sharing wasn't the issue then I don' t know what is.
Cheers
