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..

Most likely.
You can try to boot from the Install DVD for your Mac and run AHT from there if it boots.
If not it sounds like it is time to take it to Apple for repair.

My ipad identifies my charging cable as not recognized, although it was bought at the same store, at the same time as the ipad. It charged for awhile, but now won't turn on or even charge. Any ideas?

My ipad identifies my charging cable as not recognized, although it was bought at the same store, at the same time as the ipad. It charged for awhile, but now the ipad won't turn on or even charge. I still have all the packaging and receipt as proof. Any ideas why? Purchase was over a year ago, so I can't get Apple help on the phone.

Try moving and wiggle the devise if that works the port or the tip of the charger is Brocken if the wire is an apple chatter made by Apple it should not I give your problems I've it in a forren ore different manufacturer that could be the problem apple suggest all apples devises should all ways charges and sync with an apple manufactured charger for the best proformance don't try other doggy chargers made from other manufactures.
Hope this works

Try this, while connected to your charger. Press and hold the Power key, up and down volume (-/+) all three buttons simultaneously, for about 10-12 seconds. You should the red LED blink and that should allow a reset of the PlayBook and to power up.

Macbook pro won't turn on. Flashing charger light. Please

I have had my macbook pro for less than a month and it will not turn on. When i plug in the charger it does one of 3 things; A) the little light on the charger won't turn on. B) it comes on orange and then after a period of a couple of minutes slowly fades out and then back on as green followed by flashing green. or C) It simply won't come on. The computer will not turn on during any of these instances. And when I check the battery by pressing the button on the side none of the 5 lights turn on.
I have tried it with the charger for my other macbook and still doesn't work. And both the chargers work on that computer. So i know it is an issue with the macbook itself.
The sleeper light never turns on at all either. I hope the battery didn't burn out.
Is there anybody out there who could please help me?
Shed some light on this...

Since you've had this for such a short time, I would take it to the Apple store and let them deal with it.
Do a back up first!

Macbook Pro suddenly turned off when fully charged and won't restart. Charger not working either coincidently

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 iPod Nano 5th G. Won't turn on off the charger!?

I recently just found my iPod since it's been lost, I can't understand why it won't turn on when it's not on the charger? It comes on when I put the charger in, thats fine, an I can listen to music and all, it even shows the bolt on the battery and that it's charging, also shows fine on my computer, it connects an I can sync music but I just don't get why when I take it out the charger it goes off and won't turn back on! I tried looking online on how to reset which I did but no luck not even when when I tried resetting it while charging t still won't come on without the charger connected to it. Unless I'm doing it wrong, I don't get it. It never had that problem, although it's been dead for a really long time but does it make a difference? And the battery doesn't show full, it still shows it charging you know when it moving ? And I can't even tell if the battery has gotten at least half way charged cause it goes right off when I take the charger out. Its been about 7-8 hours that I had it on and off the charger . Can you help me? Does the battery have be completely full to where it's still and green ? Not moving back and forth meaning it's not charged at all? Some gadgets don't show the battery is at least half way. On the computer on iTunes, it says it's up to date

Hello undertow5613,
I would be concerned as well if my iPod nano was not powering on. I found a resource that I think would help in a situation like this.
I recommend following the steps in this troubleshooting assistant:

My "4" won't turn on, won't charge when connected to charger or computer. I've tried to reboot and it still doesn't turn on, its never been dropped or had water damage. My warranty ran out on feb. 23, help!

My "4" won't turn on. It won't charge when connected to a charger or to the computer. It's never been dropped, or had any water damage. It looks like its brand new! The warranty ran on on Feb 23rd, help!!!

Hello Breejumpp,
Try Reset ( No Data will be lost )
Press and Hold the On/Off switch (On top your iPhone) and the Home Button (Button at the bottom of your iPhone screen). Hold both the keys simultaneously for atleast 10 to 15 seconds and you should see an Apple Logo coming up on your screen, once you see the Apple logo you can then release oth On/Off switch and Home button and wait for your iPhone's Home screen.

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.

my ipod nano (4GB, 3rd generation) won't turn on or charge after running out of battery? How can I get it to turn on?

How long have you left it to charge? At least half an hour or more? Did you try a hard reset after leaving it to start for a few hours? To reset the device, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Creative Zen 32GB won't turn on, won't reset, won't do anyth

1. Make sure to state what player you have, and the firmware version.No idea the firmware version, the Zen won't turn on. I have the Creative Zen 32GB, bought in April, 2008.
2. What you have tried so far to solve the problem.Plugged it in using the USB port to the computer. Tried the reset hole. It won't turn on or respond or do anything.
5. Also add any other information that relates to the problem. The more information you give the more likely the problem will be solved quickly. Last week, I had to do the 'clean up' option after using the reset pin hole and another problem was fixed (that problem was that none of the music files were able to be seen via my computer). Then it worked fine, but now it won't turn on or do anything. The last thing I did was upload songs to it using Explorer, and re-labeling individual tracks by cleaning up names, album names, etc. Help, plz!?

i just got back from the mall.i visited the electroworld branch from which i purchased my zen. i explained to them what my problem is, at first they recharged the player in a usb port in front of me...then they also reformatted it too...told me to stick to the firmware that came with the product..the player responded and thanked them..but hr later, it blacked out again..i came back to the store manager showed him my zen ( he couldnt deny it doesnt have a problem ) and within minutes told me...they are going to give me a replacement. (the diagnosis was AUTO-OFF). they did and im very thankful. right now im charging the new player and hoping...i mean really hoping that this zen works. because im not going to waste my time again even with that warranty. if this zen is defecti've, im gonna li've with its defect..but im going to save up for the fruit's company in my next purchase..better yet why not a new pda...i can play music files in it, watch movies, save medical books etc..

IPod won't turn on, won't appear in windos or itunes. What's broken?

Pacient: 30gb video ipod
Age: 1 year
Symthoms: kinda dead...out of the blue! This ipod never moved in the last 1 year. it stayed in one fixed place, connected to the charger 27/7 and one day, it just stopped!
I tried as many of the R's as i could. I drained the battery (or i think i did), i charged it over night (if it charges)...nothing!
Won't restart (even though i hear/feel the hard drive spinning), won't be detected by my computer, or by my other computer, or by my friend's mac...
I changed the USB wire, ports, updated windows, iTunes...everything that cand be updated.
Few times i got the message "restore using iTunes" but i can't restore cause i don't see it in iTunes...
Where i live there's no Apple officil store, is out of the guaranty and i don't know what part to change if i decide to fix it myself.
Can anyone help?
Anyone with the same problem?
Thank you
