Macbook Pro suddenly turned off, not charging either.
My Macbook Pro suddenly turned off last night. I've tried all the troubleshoots listed in the user manual. Thought it was just batt low but it would not even charge, neither the battery sign located on the left side wouldn't show any sign/blink/color. Please help me, it's just 8-month old and Im not sure what could be the reason of this problem. PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Hi i'm sorry but what is SMC?
System Management Controller
The System Management Controller (SMC) is responsible for many low-level functions on Intel-based Macs. These functions include:
Responding to presses of the power button
Responding to display lid opening and closing on portable Macs
Battery management
Thermal management
The SMS (Sudden Motion Sensor)
Ambient light sensing
Keyboard backlighting
Status Indicator Light (SIL) management
Battery status indicator lights
Selecting an external (instead of internal) video source for some iMac displays
You didn't click the link to Apple's instructions and explanation, why?
Here it is again, click, read, follow the links for your machine and the instructions how to perform or take your machine in for service.

My mac pro suddenly turned off by itself, then after 10 minutes it started to work again with "no battery available" icon and an always-running fan!
it's bugging me since I don't know if it's recharging or not..Mine has just done this too. Did you find out what it was?

Help!!! My Macbook Pro suddenly turns off
Towards the end of my work day, my Macbook Pro suddenly shut off. I thought I had accidently pressed the power button or something, and so I turned it back on. However, 10 minutes later it randomly shut off again. The power was at about 80%. I connected the laptop to charge, and I was able to use it perfectly with no problem. After about an hour, I unplugged it and it continued to turn off again.
I am currenly running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. I have included the power status, to see if this might be of any help.
CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME?
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
My macbook pro 15" suddenly turned off. Now i tried several time to switch it on and seems it is working but the display doesn't function or there are many wired pictures coming up sometimes.
can anyone please help me with this issue?
ThanksWelcome to the Apple Support Communities
Your Mac can't find any bootable partition.
1. Insert the Mac OS X DVD that came with the Mac and press C key while your Mac is starting.
2. Select Utilities > Disk Utility, choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair the disk. If it doesn't work, take the Mac to an Apple Store.
Also, open > Startup Disk, select Macintosh HD and restart. Maybe your Mac has forgotten the startup partition -
My 2 year old 13" MacbookPro suddenly turned off, presumably when the screen automatically dimmed (or went to sleep?) and now it won't turn back on. It was at 96% charge and now when I use the battery checker on the side, nothing shows up. No lights or anything. The charger doesn't seem to work either even after trying it on different outlets. This has never happened before but it has been harder to wake it from sleep in the last 6 months or so. I would have to push the On/Off button for a sec and the screen would turn back on. Also when I turn it on, the password screen is sometimes off-centered..weird.
I'm using Yosemite, the latest version..not sure what it is and can't check right now...I had to go use a PC to ask this question >_<Try a SMC reset:

My macbookpro suddenly turn off ... Please help
1. Try the suggestions in this article.

2. Reset SMC.

Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
3. If this does not help, contact Apple.

My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power it's as if the unit is completely dead. Even with the mains plugged in there is no green or orange light to say its charging or full charged. The battery was fully charged anyway seconds before the screen went off.
When you say no green or orange light are you refering to the little led on the magsafe connector? That could mean either the charger/cable are bad or the circuitry in the MBP is faulty. Since this is a brand new MBP best bet is to take it back to an Apple Retail store and have the genius bar staff take a look. They can determine if it needs to be reparired or replaced.

Macbook pro 17 turns off when switching to high performance mode
Hi guys!
My 2009 Macbook pro 17 turns off and goes dead when switching to "high performance" graphics in the energy saver controll panel.
This happens also when the battery is 100% charged. i must reconnect powersupply to reboot.
The battery is new, from june this year.Aardal87 wrote:
I have just re installed the system. and the problem continues.
I guess ur solution isnt worth trying on a fresh system install?
It will not do any harm trying it but you are probably correct in these circumstances.
If the symptoms are consistent, then a savvy technician at an Apple store genius bar should be able to define the problem.

My Macbook pro randomly shut off. When i hit the power button, i can hear it start up, but after a click sound, it stops booting up. help?
Hi..
Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
If that doesn't help, try Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
When you post, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. Thanks -
applepro turns off by itself and then i have to wait anywhere from 15 to 30 mins to try to reboot and have to unplug
You should really be asking this question in MacBook Pro: Notebooks: Apple Support Communities
because this sounds like a overheating problem and we're the Mac Pro (desktop workstation) forum. -

IPhone suddenly turn off by itself,won't come back on
My iPhone suddenly turned off when i wanted to unlock it to check my messages(i'm really sure that it has 80%+ battery during that time),here's what i did to get it turn back on,but it still wont on:
1) I plug it to my pc (but my pc says it's an unknown device and it also says that Windows has stopped the device because it has reported problems)
2)i hold on to the home button and the standby button
3) i charged it
I tried all these steps above but it still wont come back on,please help me,i cant live without my phone!How long has it been off? I have over-heated mine before a few times... (hot car, heating pad...) and it shuts down completely and will NOT come back on until it cools down. I'm not saying this is your problem, but if it did over-heat it will come back on when it cools down.
