My MacBook Air wont turn on. HELP!

My MacBook Air wont turn on, I bought this past September (as a birthday gift for myself) and this Sunday I was using it perfectly, then at night it didn't turn on. I tried several times to turn it on and it did once, I thought "Yes finally" but two minutes later it turned off and never to turn on again. I have taken care of my mac book so much, that I really dont know whats wrong. I bought on I trip I did to the US and I live in Honduras, we don't have an Apple store here not even a Genius bar for me to go and see whats the problem, I thought this machines were for life, like I literally cried so bad because I had to work SO hard to buy this computer and now its just not working.. why? I dont know. If theres any tricks to making this turning back ON please let me know.
Thanks APPLE...

okay, since you are in Honduras, I'll share what my Genius told me when he reset the SMC on my 11 inch mid-2013 Mac Air yesterday. He took it in back of the Apple store, came back in about five minutes with everything working. I asked him if there was anything I had done to cause the problem, he said no, except it might be better to actually "shutdown" the computer from the Apple pull-down menu when you aren't going to use the machine for more than a couple of hours (e.g., overnight). If the instructions in Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support didn't work, As for self-repair, he said this is what you would have to do (but he also said, you really don't want to do this yourself): you have to remove the bottom of the Mac Air (under the keyboard), and disconnect the battery. Then, with the battery disconnected, you plug in the power cord attach it to the Air, and then turn on the computer from the keyboard on/off switch while powered only by the power supply. That should reset the SMC. Then shut down the system from the Apple menu (not the keyboard button/switch), reinstall the battery, replace the bottom/cover, and see if it works. Just remember that fiddling inside the back of a Mac can be dangerous to the Mac and your warranty! Good luck

My macbook that wont turn back on after I open the lid

Well my macbook is very fast and works great, *+when it turns back on+.* I leave it on most of the time and close it, plugged into a power cord, when i am done using it. I am not putting it to sleep or turning it off, just closing the lid. When I open the lid, it sometimes turns back on, and most of the time doesn't. The little light on the outside turns off when I open it, and when I close it, it turns on. I will push the power button, that doesn't do anything.
I will take the battery out and unplug it from the wall, put the battery back in and all, and it still wont turn back on. After I play with it for a few minutes, it will either turn back on, go to a grey screen with a grey progress bar, or pretend like I turned it on by going to the grey screen with the apple logo and the little spinning circle at the bottom. I have done disk utilities, any kind of utility i could think up, but it still does this. I was running tiger when it started happening.
I tried repartitioning the hard drive, backing everything up and reinstalling osx. still a problem. i recently upgraded to leopard. still a problem. I have no idea whats going on because it is not consistant. it will randomly do this. I have even sent it to apple and it wasnt fixed.

It sounds like it's hardware-related. Note the exact time the events occur, and then check your system logs in your Console application for clues to the cause.
Try resetting your SMC.

If that does not work, you may need to get it looked at.

Macbook died, wont turn back on

After having dropped my macbook some time ago, it was running well but slow. I noticed that at times when I'd carry it to class or move it around it would shut off. Today, after this happening, I tried to turn it back on. I got the screen one gets when the computer turns back on after losing battery, as happens everytime. This time, however, the screen "skittered" and then the computer died. It wont turn back on. The charger is lit when plugged in, but it doesnt appear to be holding any charge. Any ideas?

Have you tried resetting the System Management Controller? That is a good first step for power related issues such as this.
Best of luck.

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

My macbook Pro wont turn on after getting new battery

I had one of the defective batteries which eventually just died on me. I had mac send me a new one. After switching the new battery with the old one I expected my laptop to work fine. After pressing the power button a number of times the laptop eventually turned on. I would have to sit there for a few minutes but it would work. After about a day of this the laptop will no longer turn on. The power light is on and it makes the regular noises accompanied with turning on the computer and the laptop is registering the power adapter but it wont turn on. One thing of note is that it makes a strange noise for about 3-5 seconds occasionally when I turn it on. Anyone have any ideas?

Take it in for repair at a local authorized service center. Sounds like there is an issue with the power manager.
P.S. Please read this tip as you seem to confuse what "mac" and "Apple" refer to:

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 2012 Macbook Air wont turn on. SMC restart DOESN'T do ANYTHING. Is there anything else I can try?

So my 2012 Macbook Air was working just fine until the next morning I open it up and nothing happens: the apple logo doesnt light up, screen doesnt turn on, no boot up noise...nothing. Tried pressing and holding the power buttton multiple times...nada. Tried doing an SMC restart multiple times (and trust me I did it correctly)...no dice. Sooo I was wondering if there was anything else I could try and if you guys had some hypothesis on why this happened. Otherwise I'll just take it to the apple store (but id rather avoid the drive and time out of my day). Thanks!!

On a total black out with no SMC allowance, there is nothing to diagnose, no.
Contact Apple for in shop full diagnosis and likely repair.
