MacBook Pro is not turning on

I close my Macbook, and a few minutes ago, I tried to power on again, and it doesn´t turn on.
It seems to be dead.
Display is black like powered off.

Thank you very much, Csound1 (Far from anything.....? I think so close...)

  • Mid-2009 Macbook Pro will not turn on

    Hi Folks,
    so my mid-2009 15in Macbook Pro will not turn on. I updated the OS to Mavericks in December 2013. I'm from California, but I recently moved to the Guam/Marianas area where it is more humid and generally around 87 degrees F all day. For the past month my computer has worked fine, albeit I did notice the fan was running a little more than usual. I usually would just put it into sleep mode when I would finish using it (apparently a bad idea based off of reading other posts concerning humidity and, more importantly, heat). One day I finished using it, closed it and the next day went to open it; I could hear the fans start to work, but then it stopped. It hasn't turned on since. You press the power button and nothing happens. I tried all the troubleshooting stuff.
    So, my question is this: what do you think is the problem? Moreover, how much do you think it could cost to repair it? My experience with computers suggests to me that it's probably a dead motherboard. I'm wondering if it's worth trying to salvage this thing or if it would be prohibitively expensive. There are no Apple stores in the area to take it in to get advice unfortunately.
    Now, I just want to vent a little frustration. I have many apple products, and I've even switched my mother over to an apple computer, but now that I need some very basic support, apple doesn't provide a contact e-mail or a free chat? I think charging someone $19 for 'one time assistance' is ludicrous. I bet if I brought this into an apple store I could at least get some advice, and thus get some idea how I want to proceed with repairs or not. I suppose I'm also rather frustrated that my macbook, which I have been most happy with all these years, breaks because I go somewhere a little more humid and generally warmer? It would appear that the hardware failure is connected to the climate. This makes me skeptical about purchasing another mac if it can't handle a little humidity. (I have not spilled liquids on it, nor have used this computer while transitioning from an air-conditioned/humid location which could potentially cause condensation). I do not think I'm being unreasonable (yes I do think a $2500 computer should not fail after less than 5 years), but if you think I am unreasonable, please enlighten me.
    Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it.

    Ken,
    the “Important Handling Information” in the little white manual that came in the box with your MacBook Pro states that its operating temperature range is from 50 °F to 95 °F (10 °C to 35 °C), and that its operating range of relative humidity is 5% to 90% (non-condensing). If your corner of the Pacific is outside of these ranges, the manual states that “Failure to follow these handling instructions could result in damage to your MacBook Pro”.
    I have no idea what problem your MacBook Pro has; since you’ve tried all of the troubleshooting stuff, you’ll need to somehow get your MacBook Pro to a qualified service facility to diagnose the problem. If the logic board does need to be replaced, it would probably cost hundreds of dollars for a replacement, and you might find that purchasing a replacement used MacBook Pro of the same model to be price-competitive with just replacing your MacBook Pro’s logic board.
    If you find Apple’s out-of-warranty policies unacceptable, then your only alternative to venting would be to purchase your next computer from a different company which has out-of-warranty policies more to your taste.

  • My MacBook Pro will not turn on, bought a new charge still no power, My MacBook Pro will not turn on, bought a new charge still no power

    My MacBook pro will not turn on bought a new charger and it still will not turn on

    Then your problem isn't with the charger/adapter. Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011")?
    It's likely that you'd be best served by taking your machine into your local Apple Store or AASP and having the Apple techs run diagnostics. The diagnosis and estimate to repair should be free.

  • My macbook pro will not turn on and the charger is not lighting up

    please help!! my macbook pro will not turn on at all, when i plug in the charger it will not light up at all, it suddenly shut down when i was using it.

    Is there any charge left in the battery?
    Press the button on the left side, near the front edge. If no green lights appear, battery is flat. And if the power brick ain't workin' (by virtue of its pilot light not glowing), then it will remain flat and the computer will not power up. If this is the case, maybe try with another power brick of similar size and see if it charges.
    Else the logic board is toast and pitbull's on the money.
    Either case, my gypsy crystal ball forsees a trip to an Apple Store or a Service Provider in your future...

  • My MacBook pro will not turn on after connecting to an external display

    I connected my MacBook pro to a projector for a presentation using a VGA adapter. It worked for a couple of minutes, then my computer shut off and I can not turn it back on. It has never given any trouble before then. Now when I try to turn it on, the white led comes on briefly, then it makes a tone and nothing happens, the screen stays dark, any idea what is wrong????

    Probably  option, command, P, and R to reset the pram. Article at link.

  • 2011 MacBook Pro dead not turning on, how do I get all my files off it?

    Hi,
    I have an early 2011 15" MacBook Pro. Basically it's completely died on me, a few things have been going wrong so I know it's times up. I just want to know how I can get all my photos, documents & files off if it's completely died & won't turn on? Are all my files ect on the hard drive or on amother part of the computer. Any help would be really appreciated as I have a lot of photos of my 2 young children on there which will break my heart to lose.
    Thank you in advance for any help
    Shelley

    Remove the drive from the Mac and place it in an external drive case. You may be able to access the files.
    buy yourself an external drive and start backing up, this need not have been a problem.
    there is a recall in place on your Mac, for graphics problems, take it to an Apple Store, if yours qualifies there is a free repair available

  • MacBook Pro Will Not Turn On. Charger light flashing

    Hi there all. I am having a problem with my late 2011 MacBook Pro, and I have tried everything. I was wondering if you might be able to help. I will describe the problem in detail:
    This morning when I woke up and went to use my macbook, it said the battery was 50%, even though it was plugged in. I use it like a desktop, plugged in to a monitor and plugged in to power most of the time. I usually allow it to drain the battery every few days. Anyway, I rebooted it, and the battery was still going down. I tried various things, like unplugging it completely etc. I remembered that my friend had this problem last year, with her exact same model macbook, and she came to me, and I was able to fix it. So, I thought if I followed all those steps I would be fine. I reset the SMC and PRAM. At this point the battery was showing at 0% when the OS (mavericks) loaded, and then after a few minutes the computer switched itself off completely and with no warning.  The light on the charger was sometimes showing orange but didn't appear to be charging after several hours. The battery indicator was flashing 3 times on the first light then fading. It was not turning on at all now.
    So, I decided to do what I did to my friend's macbook to fix it.  I unscrewed and removed the back cover, then i carefully unplugged to battery from the motherboard, and left it unplugged for about 20 mins.  I also pressed the power button for 5 seconds while it was unplugged. I then plugged it back in, and made sure the plug was correctly seated, put the cover back on, and plugged in the adaptor. to my horror, this did not fix the problem, as it did with friend's MB. Now the light on the charger was flashing from green to orange, and there was a sound like a hard drive spinning, also the status light on the front of the computer was flashing white. So, I opened it up again and plugged in the power adapter to see what it was. Actually, it is the fan. Whenever the light in charger is orange, the fan spins, then when it turns green, the fan stops! This is with the computer completely powered off. I tried removing the RAM and reseating it. I have tried unplugging the battery, and plugging the power adaptor in. It still does the same thing. There no response to the power button at all. I tried a number of different key combinations that I found on various web sites, it will not respond to and key combos with the power button. It seems to just be stuck turning the fan on and off for over an hour now. I will unplug it, so it doesn't cause any further damage.
    does anyone know of anything else I can do? I cannot afford to call Apple or have it fixed. Usually, I am able to fix these problems in my own.. But I'm not sure what to do now.
    Thanks in advance

    Can you borrow a power adapter from someone and try that adapter with your machine? That would, at least, solve the problem or eliminate the power adapter as the problem.
    If you have an Apple Store nearby, you should be able to get a free test and estimate for repair. It may be something simple, it may be something more complex. But if changing the adapter doesn't work, that's what I would recommend. If it is the adapter you're just going to need to buy a new one - and if you must do that make certain that you order a GENUINE Apple adapter.
    Good luck,

  • Macbook Pro does not turn on, service battery

    Heres the backstory. One day, my mac simply wouldnt turn on. No video, no chime. Just one indicator light turns on, then turns off a few seconds later. then turns back on. After that happened, I brought my laptop to school the next day and plugged my friends charger into my computer and it worked. I got home and used it as a desktop for a while keeping it charged and plugged in. Then I needed it for school, so I unplugged it, and it couldnt come on again, exacty like before, just the indicator light coming on and off. i brought it home and charged it to full again, and it turned on, but it only worked if it was charged. if the charger led was green, it would work but if it was orange, it wouldnt. When it did work, under the battery status read "Service Battery." So I used it as a desktop, and then it froze, i force shutdown and now, even though charged, does the indicator light thing.
    tl;dr, when i press the power button, nothing happens except the indicator light turning on then off then on again. Not sure if it is problem with charger, or my "Service battery," All i know is that when i use my friends charger it works, but mine gives the problem stated above. Worked for a while when charged to 100%, now doesnt.
    MBP 7,1 33 months old tried smc resets, pram resets, didnt work.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    OS X is telling you that the battery isn't working, so it has to be replaced. When you see "Service Battery", it means that your battery has to be replaced.
    In Early 2008 and older MacBooks Pro, you can buy the battery at the Apple Online Store and replace it yourself. If you have a newer MacBook Pro, take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller to have the battery replaced.
    It's normal that batteries fail after years because their capacity goes down with charges

  • MacBook Pro 2008 not turning on, no sign of power and screen remains black

    I have a MacBook Pro 2008.
    It was working fine until when one morning i wanted to turn it on as usual only to find out that it can not power on.
    When i press the power-on button, i can hear the hard disk spinning but no display, the screen remains black like not getting power.
    No beep sound when tried to boot without RAM installed.
    The battery and the Charger worked fine when tested with another computer.
    The RAM works fine when tested with another Computer too.
    What could be wrong with my computer, i hope it is not the board that is dead.
    How can i overcome this problem?

    Op Charles,
    You can try a SMC reset:

    It sounds as thogh the the GPU may be dead, you can take it in to an Apple Genius (make an appointment) they will disgnose it for free and give you your options.
    Good Luck

  • My macbook pro does not turn off

    Hi all,
    My macbook pro (10.5.8) have been odd last week. When I try to turn off clicking in the apple symbol, it will close all my programs, hide the dock but then it freezes on the desktop image, without turning off. Then, the only way it turn off is pressing the on/off button in the keyboard. In addition, after i use for while (say 2h) it start to slowing down, performing some odd freezing when I typing in word or firefox.
    I tried to reset Mac's PRAM and NVRAM and I use the Disk Utility to repair permissions, but i cannot fix for of them:
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/Resources /DiskManagementTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Reso urces/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "usr/sbin/pppd" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "usr/sbin/vpnd" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Could someone help me out?
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thank you very much,
    P.

    You need to repair the hard drive. Boot from your OS installer disk and select your language. Then from the Utilities menu select Disk Utility. Select your hard drive from the left side column and then click on Repair Disk. If DU cannot repair the disk you may need to get a stronger repair utility like DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory.

  • MacBook Pro is not turning on and keeps beeping. Please help!!

    My MacBook Pro 13" is not turning on. It keeps beeping three times then pauses and repeats. It froze earlier today and I had to force a shutdown. I've done this before and it's worked fine. How do I get it to work again??? Please help.

    Three beeps at startup indicates that your RAM hasn't passed the integrity check and one of the modules is faulty.

    Run an Apple Hardware Test:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
    It may pick up some information that might give you a clue as to the unusual behavior.
    Note: An error free AHT is not always definitive.
    I still would go to an Apple store genius bar and have the MBP examined.  It will be done for FREE regardless of warranty status.
    Ciao.
