Macbook Won't Turn On But Caps Lock Lights Up Green.

Hello,
I spilt water on my Macbook A1342 some time ago. I have tried to fix it by cleaning the damaged areas. It didn't start up before but now i have the caps lock illuminated green and is constantly on. The computer does not turn on. I am just charging the computer now. Could this just be a problem caused by the water damage or a software error. Also could it just be because the battery hasn't been charged and was ran flat last time i used it. Open to any ideas.
Many Thanks
Charlie

Water damage may have affected the logic board or other hardware.

  • My MacBook pro 2009, won't turn on but the indicator light does.

    Hey guys, I am computer illiterate as far as hardware goes, so I hope someone can help me.  I have a 2009 MacBook pro, and today was the first day I have ever had a problem with it.  It won't turn on, however the little power indicator light does come on and it stays on.  The battery indicator is green.  The keyboard isn't working because when I press on the caps lock button it doesnt turn green.  I tried to charge my IPhone to it to see if it was getting enough power, and the IPhone didn't charge.  So I'm guessing that my MacBook isn't getting enough power, could it be this simple or more severe.

    It sounds like your MBP doesn't produce a startup chime that is an indication that the POST, Power On Self Test, has failed which means that it has hardware problems that are serious enough to prevent POST from completing successfully.
    You are either going to have to do some serious troubleshooting to find out what part of the MBP has failed or take it to Apple and ask them to fix it for you. They will give you an estimate after they see it so that you can decide if you are going to have it fixed or not.

  • What can I do if MacBook Pro won't turn on but the keyboard lights up ?

    Hi, my MacBook won't start but the keyboard lights up, if anybody has any ideas what I can do to get it to turn on, I'd be forever grateful,

    Try ooting into your Mavericks Recovery partition - by holding down the command and R keys shilst booting.
    Once at the Recovery screen, open Disk Utility, slect your hard drive icon on the left of the screen (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you'e renamed it) and click on the "Verify" button. If you get green text telling you that everything seems to be O.K., just reboot. If you get red text telling you that the drive needs to be repaired, click on the "Repair" button. If repair is successful, you should be able to bott normally.
    Call back with results.

  • My MBP won't turn on. The charger light goes green but then dims out before it goes out again

    My MBP suddenly stopped working when I came back to it. I tried charging it with a couple of different chargers and different sockets. The charger light turns green but then slowly dims down before it turns off.
    I tried all key combinations for starting up - holding the power key for long, Cmd+Opt+P+R with power button, Cmd+R with power button, but none of them work. The laptop won't turn on.
    What could be wrong?

    If you are still under warranty call Apple Care. Make sure you get a case number as all repairs have an additional 90 days of warranty.

  • After a liquid spill my laptop won't turn on but the sleep light goes off with a beep every 5 seconds

    It's been 2 weeks since I spilled tea onto the keyboard of my MacBook Pro- now after plugging it in the sleep light lights up and beeps every 5 seconds but will not start up- it has been upside down and powered down since spill

    Take it to Apple and ask them to find out what has been damaged by the tea.

  • Macbook won't turn on...sleep light blinking

    I am working on my sister's macbook, and I just installed new RAM and a new battery. I followed the instructions to a T and everything went fine until I tried to reboot. Now, all it does when I power up is it seems to go into sleep mode. The front light blinks, and the screen remains black. Any ideas on what is going on? I have tried putting the old RAM/battery back in and the same thing happens.
    Please help...i need to fix it so she doesn't kill me!

    You're probably not getting the RAM modules seated tight enough. The can go in real hard.

  • CAPS LOCK light is not working

    Hello dear guys, 
    Had a problem today - some keyboard keys didn't work properly. 
    I opened the laptop (Pavilion G6 2241sa) cover and saw that keyboard cable was loose. I reconnected it properly, closed the cover and switched laptop on. Now, all  keys are working fine, BUT CAps Lock light is not working well. Key is functioning, but when I press it - the light come on, but as soon as I release the key - the light goes off. Light doesn't stay. Also when the actual function of caps lock is on, when I press any other key the light come on the surface of Caps lock key but it is dim. 
    I recheched keyboard cable again - all is fine, but Caps lock light doesn't stay on when pressed. 
    I do practice typing for the last 3 months for few hours each day, so I guess it also affects the life span of my keyboard.
    Would appreciate any insights about this Caps Lock light. Many thanks, Vit
    This question was solved.

    Hi there @vitsirius 
    I understand that the Caps Lock LED is not working, after you had fixed a loose connection to your keyboard.
    You may want to walk through this page and see if something may help

    Also for your convenience here is the maintenance guide. It is possible when you were working on it one of the of the other connections was loose or became so.

  • Why does caps lock light remains on when I turn off my macbook pro?

    I had a problem recently come up with my MacBook Pro Early 2011 15 inch 2.0 ghz computer. The the caps lock light initiates at boot up. When I depress caps lock the light goes off but then only allows capital letters.  All sybols associtated with depressing the cap button such as the "at" sign are screwed up.  When I turn my computer off with safe mag attached, the caps light remains on. When I remove the safe mag, the caps light goes off.  Any clues as to what is going on?
    Thank you for your inputs ahead of time.

  • How do i transfer data from my old macbook 13" 2008 to my new macbook pro 13" but my old macbook won't turn on

    hello! i went to the Genius Bar and they told me my logic board needed to be replaced on my old white macbook 13". however, i need to get my data and information from my old macbook but my old macbook won't turn on. i was told by Genius Bar that the hard drive could be accessed via the 3 screws when the battery was removed and the hard drive could be turned into a external hard drive once removed. that way i could transfer my music, movies, pictures, etc. they told me that Best Buy could do the data transfer for me. i went to Geek Squad but they told me the hard drive wasn't accessable behind those 3 screws, that the ram was there instead. i just want to transfer my data. please help!

    Your Geek Squad wasn't very geeky. the hard drive is right next to the RAM.
    Here's the three screws
    Here's the hard drive tab that pulls the hard drive out.
    Here's the hard drive out and you can see the RAM in it's slots.

  • Laptop won't start quickly but power wifi and caps lock light keeps blinking

    Hi, it has happened before too but rarely but nowadays it happens on daily purposes.
    When I switch on my laptop after leaving it for 8-9 hrs, it won't start up but instead power, wifi and caps lock light keep blinking. I tried removing battery and pressing power button for few minutes but nothing happens. Then i left it like that with lights blinking and after 15 20 minutes it booted. I did same yesterday too. I left it like that it booted after 20 minutes..so My question is "why is this happening? Is it a motherboard issue or is it because of cold moisturous weather here and laptop takes time to get warm up?" Should I show it to HP Service center?

    Hi @Nishant5788
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are having a problem getting your notebook to boot up normally. As for what is causing the problem the blinking Caps Lock should tell us what is causing the problem as it should be blinking in a pattern. This HP document Computer Does Not Start and LEDs blink has a chart that will tell you what the blink codes mean.
    This is most likely a hardware issue and you can give us a call regarding repair options.  You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.

  • My macbook pro got wet and the battery light is still on but my macbook won't turn on. What's the problem?

    My mabook pro got wet the other night, the battery light still works but my macbook won't turn on and should i just wait for it to completely dry up? Or what should i do to solve this problem?

    Just face facts - if water (or any other liquid) reached you logic board or any other electronic components, you're going to be the victim of corrosion.
    Eventually, you'll need to have the logic board replaced. There are liquid sensors all over your MBP and the techs can tell if these have been activated. I wouldn't turn the computer on at all - if it were me, I would take it to your local Apple Store/AASP and get an estimate for repair. Rice & other desiccates may 'dry up' the liquid, but it won't undo the damage already done.

  • HT201177 Macbook Pro is turned on but the screen is black.

    Ok, I have read A LOT of discussions on this issue but it seems like nothing works.
    I bought my Macbook Pro 13" in September 2012 (so i've had it for a little over a year) in the States. So, I was just using the laptop a couple nights ago, then I closed the lid to the Sleep mode. Then, yesterday morning, I plugged in the charger and unplugged it after the batter's full (showed the green light). Later on that day in the afternoon, I opened the lid to wake up the laptop...but the SCREEN wouldn't display.... It has remained BLACK .... I KNOW the mac is still working..cuz when I turn it on the Caps Lock button shows green light and the sleeping light at the front is working...
    I don't think it's  RAM problem...cuz I did that Option-Comman-P-R thingy..and held it until I heard the third startup chime... (I held those keys at the SAME time...WAS I SUPPOSED TO press them one by one??)
    Last method I used was the SAFE mode...and now the VOLUME buttons and the keyboard light buttons Dont work now.....
    PLEASE HELP!!! THANK YOUUUU!!!

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • Macbook won't turn on, won't charge either (no green/amber light)

    So I was cleaning my keyboard today (just with water and a towel) and after cleaning, the screen shut off but my macbook was still turned on (could hear the fans). It wouldn't respond to anything and I tried a hard shut down but this did not work either. I was forced to take the battery out to shut it down.
    Now it won't turn on. I tried plugging it into my magsafe power adapter but it won't charge. There is no light (neither green or amber). My battery still has 2 green dots when I test it.
    I've tried resetting the power settings by removing the charger, battery, and then holding the power down for 5 seconds. This did not work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I've had a very similar problem. My battery died about nine months ago and I've been going off AC since then. It recently started not turning on though.. I closed the lid one day and went for a walk and when I came back about an hour later it was like it was in a constant sleep mode. Since then it turned on once successfully. But I am getting the same dim green light for about three seconds and then it goes full. When I try to turn it on the fan or hard drive (not sure) starts spinning and the screen flashes but then it just sits with the sleep light on. When I read your thread though I realized I may have gotten it wet when carrying it to and from my car. I no longer have a warranty or care plan or whatever so apple won't help me one bit. SO yeah I thought I'd share that and maybe it can help you somehow..
