Macbook would not come on.. PLEASE HELP

Hello,
I was using my laptop and the trackpad was not working properly. I called apple and after all the switching off and on, they said it was a hardware problem i should take it to and apple store tomorrow (monday).
30 mins later, it the laptop got frozen. I tried restarting it then i didnt come on again. Even when i put the charger in. the "green" light on the charger doesnt come on. I called them, they said i should do the whole holding the power light for 10 mins and all but it still didnt work. What should i do? I paid for the apple care plan but i dnt know if this is even covered on it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Just take it into the Apple Store as the tech suggested. They'll check out the hardware and let you know what's going on. If you purchased AppleCare, you have 3 years of hardware support from the date of purchase.

  • Macbook is not starting up, please help

    Alright, as of 3 hours ago my Macbook (white model) is not loading up past the Grey screen with the Apple logo and the spinning circle. I have tried booting into safe mode by pressing "shift" key, and it won't work. I tried doing the hardware test by pressing the "D" key and it found no problems. I tried putting in my Mac OS X install Disc and it doesn't load it... It does find it though (when I pressed the option key).
    The weird thing is, that I am currently on my Windows 7 OS..using my Macbook. This side of the harddrive seems to work just fine.
    I have no idea why it is not working for me, I already reset the PRAM and SMC...
    Can someone please help??
    Does Apple give out replacement macbooks? or Will they be able to fix this??
    I have had this macbook for 1 year as of October 2nd.

    Did you try booting from your OS X install disc using the C key? When you used the option key, did the installer load?
    If so, choose a language, then from the Installer menu, choose *Disk Utility*. Click on *Macintosh HD* in the left-hand column, then click *Repair disk*. If any errors can't be repaired, try again. If it fails a second time, post the message here.

  • MacBook Pro not turning on, please help!!

    I have no clue what is wrong with it. I shut the screen so I could move the computer to my room, then bam. Nothing. It's like it's dead. I didn't do anything to update it or add anything to it. It is a MacBook Pro 15in from 2011. The battery buttons on the side don't do anything. When I plug the adaptor in it doesn't do anything. I tried to do the command option control and power button, nothing. I tried the power button plus shift whatever p and r, nothing happened. My life is on the computer, I need it to work. Please help!!

  • HELP! Macbook will not wake!  Please help!

    +2.0ghz 13.3 Macbook Aluminum from OCT 2008 (MB466LL)+
    +OS: Leopard 10.5.8+
    Issue: Computer will boot, but will immediately go into some type of soft sleep mode. If I press the power button to wake it from sleep, it will attempt to wake by flickering the screen once but then goes back to dark. For about 5-10 seconds I see the desktop and a few windows open but very dark almost like the screen was completed faded to black.. and then it goes back to sleep. I've tried hitting F2 during the 5-10 seconds but it does not help or work.
    Sometimes I'll succeed with getting it 100% back from sleep for about 1-2 minutes which it looks and works normal, but it then goes back to soft sleep.
    I'm traveling in Brazil for a whole month, and it started happening 2 days ago. It simply went to sleep by itself after I finished watching a movie on VLC.
    *-Same thing happens when booting to safemode.*
    *-Same thing happens when booting from CD.. It gets to first page where I choose my language and immediately goes to sleep.*
    -only time it does NOT happen is if I boot to single-user mode.
    *_+What I've done so far:+_*
    = Reset the PRAM/NVRAM
    = Reset the System Management Controller (SMC)
    = Unplugged battery
    = Tried re-seating the RAM
    = Repaired permissions
    = Used Disk Utility to scan/repair HD. - Found no issues
    = Disabled safe sleep in terminal using: "sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0" and also by by going to energy saver and setting it to NEVER SLEEP.
    I see that a lot of people have had this problem with Macbooks going to sleep and not waking. But not a lot of solutions.. I'm going crazy. There's an apple store near where I am right now (Sao Paulo, Brazil) but even though I somewhat speak the language I'm hesitant to take it there still. Can someone PLEASSSSSSEEEEEEEE give me a hand?

    Well to anyone else that comes across this issue. After 3 days of nonstop troubleshooting I've finally figured it out and got my baby working again.
    Apparently, the problem is with the Hall sensor, that reports whether your "lid" is closed or not. Unfortunately, It is - seemingly - embedded into the Top case keyboard-touchpad assembly. In fact, the majority of the problems arise from the flex cable attached to the keyboard.
    So you have 2 actions to choose from. 1) Replace the "Top Case Keyboard Assembly" which you can find for $50-$100 on ebay. Or 2) Open your bottom case, and reset the keyboard ribbon cable out of its socket (which goes into the Flat cable ZIF socket). This has worked for me almost instantly. Regardless if the cable was somewhat loose before or not, I unplugged it, and reset it and It's been working ever since. If for some reason the issue returns, well I just have to hop on ebay and buy a new Topcase/Keyboard.
    Good luck.
    Check out step 12 on this link which shows where the Keyboard ribbon cable connects to

  • My iPod Touch is stuck in Recovery mode and would not respond. Please Help!

    Hi! I have an iPod Touch 2nd Generation 8GB. Yesterday, I tried to update to iOS 4.0 from 3.1.3 by way of shift-click restore because my iPod was jailbroken. When the restore process was about 95% done, I received a "Send Error Report" and in every time I do it whether if I am downgrading back to 3.1.2 or 3.1.3.
    My iPod touch is still stuck in DFU/Recovery mode. I tried using another of my USB cable, USB port, and computers but to no avail. I even reinstalled iTunes and I still get the same result.
    Please does anyone know how to fix this?

    Restoring and updating normally also produces the same result.

    Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store.  Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays.  You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor.  If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected.  I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

    I FIXED IT MYSELF.
    I simply let the iPod run out of battery.
    Then it said CONNECT TO POWER.
    And then I did.
    And after 15 minutes, it worked!

  • I have iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

    Hi, I have the  iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

    Hello Glittergirl68,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the function to reseize the Font in an iBook is not functioning properly.
    I recommend a few things here. First close all the apps that are running in the background:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    From: iOS: Force an app to close
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that, restart the phone, and try again.
    If the issue persists, I would follow these steps from the article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
    2. Check for app updates
    You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
    If  prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
    Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
    4. Restart the app
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
    5. Restart your device
    Turn the device off and on.
    6. Reinstall the affected app
    Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
    Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the app and then download it again.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

    You need to be more specific about which software applications you're using, the versions and what happens when you try to open them.
    It would also be nice if you could include which model MacBook Air you're using.

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.
