Macbook pro retina does not turn on-

was fine when I closed it and left it to charge overnight
This happened before and I took it to a Genius at the Apple store who took it in the back and brought it back on.  Didn't tell me what he did but now I'm travelling and can't go to the store.  Does anyone know how to magically make it come back to life?

Look at this Apple support article:

  • Macbook Pro retina will not turn on

    I bought a 2012 Macbook Pro Retina 13" off Craigslist today.  It will not turn on.  I tried resetting the SMC and disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it.  It will still not turn on, the battery has been charging for 2 hours already and it's still amber on the magsafe.  It still has warranty coverage until 2014 so my next stop is the apple store.  I thought I could fix it myself but it is pretty tough to narrow down the cause.

    I tried those already, did not work.
    I did how ever remove the command key and wiped it down and it turns on perfectly!
    but now the keyboard keys seem to be out of place or something. For example it makes a "ping" sound when i hit some of them, when i hit function or control it puts the letter Z.
    Any input would be great!

  • Macbook pro retina does not recognize Tiki USB microphone

    Tiki external microphone is plugged into USB port on Macbook Pro Retina, but does not show up on list of audio inputs in system preferences.  I have tried restarting but nothing changed.  Has anyone experienced this?  I am up to date on software updates and am using 10.8.2.

    Pick an app and select your Display's camera.  How you do this differs among apps.  For some examples you can test, see iMac + 24" ACD: Apple Support Communities

  • MacBook Pro screen does not turn on after using external display?

    Hello,
    I am using a 15 inch MacBook pro from mid 2012. At work I connect it via mini-display port to an eternal monitor. Recently however, sometimes after I go home and try to turn the laptop back on, it turns on, but the screen does not. If I connect it to another external monitor, it uses that as the default display. Sometimes I can just restart the laptop and everything is fine, other times I have to turn it back on while holding the shift key in order for the laptops built in display to be used.
    After work, I unplug the mini-display port, and then power off the laptop.
    Can anyone help me understand why this may be happening so I can prevent it from happening again?
    Thank you.

  • Macbook Pro Screen Does Not Turn On

    I just updated the firmware my Macbook Pro (late 2007-2008).  It has been running on Mountian Lion for about a month, and the update was the newest set released by Apple.  The firmware was installed and the laptop rebooted.  I heard the chime, and then the computer screen never came on.  I can turn it on, but the screen never comes on.  The white light on the front of the computer comes on, and does not blink, even if the screen is closed. I have held the power button down to force shut down, and it will eject a disk if one is in the drive, but the screen still does not come on.  It makes no noise when I reboot it manually.

  • My MacBook Pro Retina does not load some pages' graphics

    As written in the title, when i try to load Apple Online Store page for example, it loads only text and links.

    Safari as written in the tags, but the problem now is solved. It was a general problem not caused by my Mac, but it was only an Apple Online Store updating. There is also another problem with safari, but I'll create a new topic for that.

    I have a Serial Number which worked fine on my MacBook Pro but does not work on my desktop PC (Win 7).  What is the problem?

    You haven't identified the version so I can't tell if offering you contact options for Adobe Support will be of use to you.  But they will likely be your only hope of getting resolution unless you just happen to be using the wrong number as the serial number.

    My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks

    Either the power brick is damaged, or the charging circuit is on the blink, or both. Either way, a trip to the Apple Store or the Apple Authorized Service Provider is in order, as this ain't no bargain basement toy.
    In the meantime, can attempt an SMC Reset to see if it helps.

  • Macbook pro retina doesn't turn on for a day or two

    Macbook Pro Retina     13-inch Late 2012
    2.5GHz Intel Core i5
    OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
    So this is a weird one... I recently purchased a used Macbook Pro Retina and the previous owner had upgraded the hard drive for a bigger size. My macbook worked great for a few days but then one night I closed it and the next day when I opened it, it would not turn on. I tried rebooting the battery (SHIFT+CONTROL+OPTION and POWER) then hitting power but NOTHING. At one point, I heard a clicking sound when I would leave the power button down. Then... two days later I push the power button just because and BAM! The screen comes on. (I didn't hear the start up sound, and it wasn't like it restarted.) It was as if the screen brightness was all the way down but then came back. (I kept trying to adjust that too before it turned on).
    I don't understand!!! Two days later, same thing happened. Then again, it turned back on a day later.
    The only thing I noticed that was weird was when I connected it to my tv with HDMI cable. The laptop screen would freeze and get distorted and I would have to force a restart (the black screen with the apple would appear and the loading bar as if I would updating the software).
    I'm soooo confused and I don't want this to keep happening. I would appreciate any type of help or advice!!
