MacBook Pro shuts down and won't turn on

My MacBook Pro shuts down suddenly and won't start after pushing the power button??????

Hi r,
Is it running very hot, as in, could this be a thermal shutdown? Download iStat Pro if you don't already have it.

  • MacBook Pro shut down and won't turn on

    Hi, my laptop (only a month old) said it needed to restart in order to finish updating OS X, leaving it briefly I went into the kitchen and when I came back I watched as the screen appeared to be going into sleeping mode but upon closer inspection it turned itself off. Now even though it was 100% charged and plugged in won't turn back on. If anyone has tips would be much appreciated, it is the beginning of the week and I won't be able to get to a mac store until the weekend due to my classes.
    Thanks

    Ensure the mac is plugged in.
    Hold the power button down and keep it pressed down while you count to 10, then release.
    Press the power button once and immediately release. The mac should not start to boot up as normal.

  • My new MacBook Pro shut down and won't turn on.

    I connected it to the charger and there is no light to indicate that it's charging . What do I do ? Should I be really worried ? I just got it about a month ago

    If your machine won't charge, you could try an SMC reset - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 - and, if that doesn't work and since you're still under warranty, take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose and fix the computer.

  • Macbook Pro shut off and won't turn on or charge?

    I purchased my Macbook Pro August 1st 2012 at Best Buy and in April it shut off for no reason and it wouldn't charge. Apple replaced the battery cable and my Macbook worked for a couple of weeks, then in May same thing happened and Apple replaced the MLB, a couple days later the same thing happens and Apple replaces the Magsafe board with cable. Then a few days later specific keys on the keyboard stop working and Apple replaces the topcase with keyboard. Now 120 days later my Macbook Pro shuts off and won't charge for the 4th time. My Macbook is now out of warranty but I don't think I should pay since this is the 4th time my MacBook Pro shuts off for no reason and won't charge. Yes I already tried reseting the smc, still didn't work. What could be causing this and is there anyway Apple will cover this since is the 4th time it shuts off for no reason?

    Call Apple Customer relation and explain your situation. Have your receipts for the work that was already preformed on it and ask them to replace it with a new unit.

  • My MacBook suddenly shut down and won't turn back on - how do I get it to turn back on?

    My MacBook suddenly shut down after freezing up and I cannot get it to turn back on again.  I tried the suggestions in the manual and none of them worked to turn it back on. Is there something I am not doing correctly?  The little green light on the charger connector is green but not as bright as normal, it was charged by over 70% before it shut down, so I do not think it is a battery problem.  Is there anything I can do to turn it back on?  Thank you for any help given, I really appreciate it.

    If it won't bong, then try an SMC reset.

  • MacBook randomly shut down, and won't turn back on

    First of all, hello. Secondly, I've got a problem with my MacBook: about half an hour ago, it randomly shut down and when I tried to turn it back on, it didn't. Instead, the backlight kept flickering at the tempo that something inside the computer was "clicking", and the longer I held the power button, the more "clicks" there were. Needless to say, I've tried charging the battery, resetting the SMC, and to no avail: I still can't power it up, even when I don't use my battery. Whether I use it or not, the MacBook still "clicks" during my pressing of the power button and stops "clicking" when I release it. My MacBook is a year old. Can someone help me out here?

    Me too. Any resolution? I don't want to take it to my local apple place because they're retards, but according to the info on my warranty that's the only place available. Can't believe they don't have an RMA service direct to Cupertino, what a joke.

  • Macbook Pro shut down and won't restart

    Hi all
    My Macbook Pro is just over one year old so now out of warranty. It just shut down without warning a few weeks ago (nothing strange happened, no water spillage or anything like that) and wouldn't turn back on. When I attached the charger to it there was no little light (either green or orange) and would just do nothing at all. I took it to an authorized Apple technicians (I live in Dubai) and they reset the motherboard and it was working fine. Last week it did exactly the same thing and shut down again and wouldn't turn back on. They're now saying they may need to replace the whole motherboard which is going to cost me a fair bit.
    I'm quite annoyed as it is my first Macbook Pro and everybody told me how they never have problems etc etc. Any other suggestions as to what might be the issue or do I just need to shell out for the motherboard? I'd read online that the battery could be the issue but they're saying they tried a new battery in another customer's machine and it didn't work so are replacing the motherboard.
    Thanks,
    Lauren

    It is difficult for anyone to ***** the problems your MBP is experiencing in a setting such as this forum.  The best I can do is point you to this troubleshooting article;

  • MacBook Pro shuts down and won't charge, battery light on the side is off completely?

    Hey guys,
    So about 20 minutes ago, I walked over to my macbook pro ('17) to plug in my phone charger. The top was already open, so I didn't have to pull it up. I clicked the touchpad to turn it on, and it turned on for literally half a second, and turned black with a bit of a static noise I believe. As if it blew a fuse.
    So I look on the side of the computer where you can press that little button and a bunch of lights will turn on according to battery life, and nothing. Not one light turned on. I got this computer fixed a month ago with a replaced battery, screen, graphics card I believe, and operating system.
    What happened?? It won't charge or turn on. Is there any chance I can revive this or is it toast?

    Hi, I am having the same exact problem! Anyone who know what to do?

  • My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again.What should i do?

    My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again. I tried charging it and do it again...When i charge it , it opens the " Connect to iTunes" , when i switch to the computer to connect it , it doesn't work... It starts to the apple screen , and then just shuts down again. I tried holding the home and sleep/wake button at the same time..I tried everything. What should i do?

    Your iPhone is going back and forth between recovery mode and powering on which is really strange.
    Have you tried a hardware reset while its connected to your computer? This will force it back into recovery mode so that you can restore it. If restoring and setting up as new doesn't help, go ahead and take it to an Apple Store for a replacement

  • My macbook pro shutted down and cannot start it again. The charger light it is flashing in red

    Take it in for service. Either the charger has failed or something on the motherboard.

  • My Macbook Pro starts beeping and won't turn on. Any ideas?

    I recently purchased a Macbook Pro.  It now won't turn on even though the light goes on.  It also makes a beeping noise that won't stop until I force it to shut down.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    Normally - one would think that your RAM went bad if it's 3 beeps.
    It could also mean that macbook can not find any valid os installed.
    Have you recently upgraded your RAM?  if so - take them out and install the old one back and see what happens.
    if however, you never upgraded your RAM - best suggestion is to take it to Apple and have them take a look at it.

  • IPhone 5 shut down and won't turn back on

    My phones screen turned a blue/greenish color and shut down and will not turn back on :(

    I'm having the same issue with my iPhone5.  It just started yesterday afternoon.  The "hard reset" as you suggested worked once.  However, it shut down again only one hour later.  It didn't turn on (even with the hard reset) for three hours when the hard reset worked again.  I hooked it up to iTunes and restored my phone and thought that it would fix the issue.  But after being on for about two hours, my screen got vertical lines then turned green and shut off again.  I haven't been able to turn it back on no matter what I do all night and all day today.
    It doesn't matter that the phone is plugged in or have 100% battery power.  It just won't turn on again.
    I have an appointment at my local Apple Genuis Bar, but I'm not sure what they can do as I'm not sure if this is a software or a hardware issue.

  • Hi everyone, so I was on my MacBook Pro 10 mins ago and it all of a sudden shut down and won't turn back on? I haven't had it backed up for a while now but does anyone know what could have possibly happened and if it will affect my hard drive?

    My MacBook Pro 13inch won't turn on? It randomly shut down itself and won't turn on!!? Will it affect my back up? Hard drive disk? Because it has all my work and personal things I really need on there! Please if anyone can help me!!
