Macbook Pro wont power up/ turn

last night the sound went off on the computer so I shut it down. It wouldn't start, then the apple came on the screen and then the screen went blank. Now it wont start at all - nightmare

If SMC and PRAM resets do not put life back into the MBP, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a Free evaluation.

    My MacBook Pro wont charge or turn on? any ideas what to do?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Try resetting the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 If it doesn't work, you have a hardware problem, so you have to take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller to get it diagnosed and repaired

  • Macbook Pro wont power on... at all

    Macbook Pro mid-2010 model.
    Epic fail of spilling something across my Macbook... it immediately turned off followed by me immediately removing the AC adapter and flipping it upside down. Waited 30 mins... powered it on... it booted and seemed ok. Powered back off... left it upside down to make sure all liquids were dry/drained. Tried again an hour later to power it on... black screen and a beep every 5 seconds. Tried again 2 hours later to power on and absolutely nothing. Battery indicator shows nothing... plug in AC adapter and try to power on and still NOTHING.
    Is there ANYTHING I can do here that doesn't involve logic board replacement/entire macbook replacement? It powered on once... why not anymore?
    This ***** horribly.

    If you really want to dry it out good without disassembly get a plastic container that will hold your MBP and some fresh dry uncooked (not instant) rice. Place about an inch of rice a natural dessicant on the bottom and then a paper towel on top of the rice and your MBP on top of that. Then place a snug fitting lid on the container, tape it if you must it needs to be air tight. Let it sit for a few days or more and then boot the machine. As long as you spilled "clean" water you should be fine if it was anything else the damage can be much worse.Good Luck.

  • My macbook pro wont power up, light flashes if i hold power button continuously

    my macbook pro won't power up, if i hold power button down continuously i get a flashing light (by the clasp), i'm thinking this is probably a hard drive issue.  anyone have any idea what the problem is?

    Hi je339999,
    Exactly which model is your MacBook Pro? The problem you're having sounds similar to what is mentioned here -http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
    However, it's possible that it's something else as well. Are you near an Apple Store or Apple Certified Service Center? It's probably worth it at this point to bring it for additional triage.

  • Macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart.

    macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart

    Sorry I said sorta wrong. I can shut down and I can update to the point of restart but it just sat for 45 minutes after an update. It goes through the update and to restart then the bars chase each other in a circle and it never restarts. So I hit the power button and go through normal reboot but loosing the update in the process. It does not matter how long I wait for a natural reboot after an update or click to restart it will chase the little bar in circles all day literally and never reboot.

    macbook pro 2010 only will turn on if i hold the power button down for atleast 7 seconds.....before i could just press it and it would come right on

    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!

  • My macbook pro wont do anything and it is just blowing air out the back

    my macbook pro wont do anything it is using its fan rapidly

    Try Reseting the PRAM, It should fix the Problem.
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
        Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • The screen on my macbook pro wont stay at a steady lighting

    at random moments the screen saver on my macbook pro wont stay at a steady lightening. From time to time the lighting will turn birght and then it wil dim, randomly.
    my first instinct is that someting might be wrong with the hardware, however, i've told to reset my power center.
    How do you reset the power center on a macbook pro?

    Go to system perferences ,then click display and check if ur on auto ajust brightness this make screens changing due to lighting background,u might want to turn this off,ur decision.......or check ur energy saver beside display u might have very short settings,u can adjust both computer sleep or display sleep or in window u can see say slightly dim the display while on battery power,u might want to put this tick out....u hav selection of choices.....

  • Have a 2 year old macbook pro that won't turn on--logic board?

    We have a 2 year old Macbook Pro that will not turn on. A computer repairman said it's probably the logic board. Does Apple warrant that or are we just out $1,700?

    When you attach the power adapter, does the led light up?  If so, what color?
    What happens if you press the external battery check button?
    Have you tried a SMC reset?

  • Macbook pro 13 doesn't turn on

    I have a macbook pro 13, 2 weeks old. I was working with it while plugged in to the power cord then I turned it off and kept the battery charging. After the battery was almost fully charged I unplugged it and when I tried to turn it on I see the power light blinking but nothing comes on. Can anybody tell me what could be the problem?

  • MacBook Pro 2013 doesn't turn on fully

    Hey, sorry for the quick and crappy question (I have to go for a road trip in a few hours and need my computer), but my MacBook Pro doesn't fully turn on. I have a YouTube video of what it does. It does what's in the video, turns off, and then repeats when I power it back on.
    http://youtu.be/a7idERS3kHU there's the video. All and any help would be appreciated.

    Hmm, that's not good. There's a post like yours where they needed to boot off a different drive and we're then able to fix it. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3487997
    You can boot off another drive or mac and repair your MBP drive from there. This could be done by hooking it up to another mac in target disk mode or by creating a install USB stick.
    Or if you had a backup you could erase and restore.
    Or finally, if none above are possible then it might be easier to take it in to the apple store.

  • Macbook pro wont shutdown

    macbook pro wont shutdown

    Holding the power button for 10+ seconds should shut it down.  But that stops all processes, including active read/write activity, mid-step.  Yuor system may not restart because the OS (not the disk drive itself) could be corrupted.
    Try option-command-esc to bring up a list of application to force-quit, that way only certain applications are forcibly stopped instead og the entire OS.
