MacBookPro 17" mid 2010 will not start, green light on power plug OK

I pushed the on button and the computer would not start. No sounds and no lights. My power cord showed the green light so I unplugged it and plugged it back in and tried to start the computer up again, did this several times. Finally the green light changed to orange/red and when I pused the on button it came on. When I shut it down it has 99% power showing. Next morning when I pushed the power button the same thing happened except I still can not get it started. 2 days later. I spoke with an Authorized Apple Service Provider this morning who walked me through taking the back off, unplugging the battery waiting 20 plus seconds plugging it back in, putting the back on and trying to start it. It did not start up? Before I have to ship this off can anyone help me with what I am dealing with?

Hello MacBookProUserette,
I would be concerned too if my MacBook Pro would not power on. I recommend following the steps in this article when experiencing an issue like this. I recommend reviewing the full article, but I think steps 2 and 5 are particularly useful in the situation you described:

My Mac Mini was not sending a signal to the monitor. I powered down using the power button and now it will not start. When i power up I get a strange 2 tone sound, like a warning alarm. The fan starts, and the light comes on, but no screen

I have tried with a wired USB keyboard and mouse using a single screen. Powered up with option pressed. No change.
Reset SMC no change

Run the Apple hardware test to see what it tells you. Run the extended test when prompted, which can take awhile.

My macbook pro will not start after pressing the power button

I have bought a macbook pro last year and now, I have a great problem since a few months.
My macbook does not boot up, I hear no fan noices and no LED lights are blinking...
Battey is full, but nothing happens (means system will not start up).
I have also tried to start with the Power button - but the similar effect "NOTHING HAPENS".
What I don't understand is, if I do nothing for one or two days and press then the power button, the system will start up and full functionality for a few days.
And anytime I get the same problem again... and must wait also for a few days.
Can anybody support me please.
Thank you all in advance and looking forward to a fast reply.

Mac mini mid-2010 will not play/read CD's or DVDs. Need Superdrive help.

Help!
It's rare i use the Superdrive and now i find it will not mount any CD or DVD. I'm running OS X 10.7.2 on a Mid 2010 Mac Mini.
Is this a Lion thing? Coming to think about it has never been able to burn a CD or DVD so have resorted to using an old MacBook.
Can't be a Region thing as it won't mount any disk.
Help!

Confirmed faulty Superdrive which should have been reported when purchased; therefore out of warranty.

Macbook pro will not charge, green light stay on.

today it ran out of charge and ive plugged the charger in, but it doesnt seem to charge. The light on the charger did not turn from green to orange, it stayed green. It has been like that for about 30 minutes now. The computer will not turn on when I press the power button.

8700 will not start,red light flashes and hourglass comes on and off

I have an 8700g Blackberry phone and I mistakenly downloaded an application that is only supported by software version 4.0 or greater. ( my phone had software version 2.2? ) . I had to replace the battery today and when I put in the new battery, it tried to start up but the red light comes on and the hourglass flashes on and off but after two hours it will still not start up. What should I do?

TS1367 I have an early model Macbook Air 1.6ghz duo core. The unit worked until the battery went bad. It will not come on with the power plug inserted. Question is, do you have to have a battery installed for this laptop to come on??

Macbook Pro 2010 will not start up properly

My Macbook Pro suddenly stopped responding to my actions, which it had never done before (ex. my music on itunes would stop playing without me presseing anything). I shut it down forcefully. At first it did not turn on and was making these weird noises near the power button on the right side. Then I tried restarting it again, and after about 15 minutes was able to get to my desktop. However, I couldn't open any of the files. Now everytime I restart it, it keeps going in and out from a blank desktop screen to a blue screen. If i keep it like that for a while it does the same thing with my password box and the black screen. I tried resetting the SCM and PRAM. Nothing happened when I reset the SMC, but when I reset the PRAM it brought me to a different login, which recognized my keyboard and was responding right away. However, after inputting my password it just went to the regular black password screen and continued going back and forth between that and a black screen. Also my keyboard lights go on and off. HELP!!!!!!! I have two exams and 4 papers next week and I cannot afford to lose everythin.

Kinger2010,
you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it reach the login screen now?

Trouble booting MacBookPro (13" mid 2010) after upgrading ram?

My MacbookPro 13 inch mid 2010 will not boot after upgrading the ram. I just upgraded to mountain lion a week ago. I also upgraded my hard drive a month ago. I reverted back to the stock ram and it booted fine. But when I use the new Crucial 8GB (2x4GB DDR3_1333 PC3 10600 SODIMM 204 pin) ram kit, it just hangs in the white boot up screen, while the little grey refreshing dashmark circle is going around. Any ideas of how to get it to boot with the ram I have? Or could it just be faulty ram that I need to get a refund on?
Thanks

Your Mac actually is supposed to use 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs. Sometimes faster modules will work, sometimes they won't. In your case it looks as if the faster RAM isn't working. Crucial should exchange it for your without any problems. You their System Scanner tab at Crucial and find out what memory is 'right' for your Mac and swap what you have for that.

Pavillion dv2700 will not start up

HP -Pavillion dv2700 running Vista will not start up.
At power the screen comes on and goes right to the Microsoft Corporation screen with green bars going across screen. This will last for hours and go nowhere.
I do get the option to go to the recoveryscreen but that eventually gives the error message that says Startup Repair has tried several times but still cannot determine the cause of repair.
Every now and and again it will respond to F8 but no matter what choice I make it comes back to the Microsoft Corporation screen with green bars going across screen.
I took out the hard drive and tried to boot it up with the system recovery dvd and get a flashing line on a black screen
I would love any thoughts you might have, Thank you

My pavilion dv2700 with Vista will not boot. At power on the screen comes on and some LEDs on the keyboard illuminate but the screen remains blank. It does not seem to enter the BIOS boot up mode either. Repeated clicks on the F10, F11, or F8 keys has no effect except that after about 20 clicks on one of the function keys a beep is heard for each subsequent click but the screen just remains blank.
This problem was preceded by a week of the system locking up intermittently. The hard drive LED would go out and the system would freeze up. I would have to hold the power button down for 10 seconds to shut it down.
Any ideas on what is going on, how to trouble shoot, or how to fix?
By the way: I do not have a restore disk.

Hello Robert_thoms,
I understand you state your G6 will not load, is that correct? I will be happy to help you.
I would like you to try a hard reset and then try to access the BIOS menu.
1.       Remove all connections including the battery and AC adapter
2.       Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds
3.       Once done reinsert only the battery and AC adapter
Now try to access the BIOS menu:
1.       Turn the computer on and immediately start tapping the F10 key
2.       If successful you see the BIOS menu
3.       Press the F9 key to reset the BIOS
4.       Press F10 to save and exit to see if it will boot
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

My macbook pro will not start up. I get the apple logo and the little start up waiting avitar. I tried everything including starting with my back up drive and nothing happens.

My macbook pro mid 2012 will not start up. I was running bitdefender and when I went to see if it was done, I had the apple logo and the loading (winding circle) on the screen. I can not get out of this. I used my back up external drive and it did nothing. It did light up.

samnleosgpa,
you may have faulty RAM. Are you able to boot into your MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test (“AHT”)? If so, try running it to see if it can detect a problem. If you’re not able to run its AHT, and you’ve upgraded your MacBook Pro’s RAM before, try reïnstalling its original RAM and see if you can get past the “-6002F” error code. If you aren’t able to run its AHT, and you haven’t upgraded its RAM or you no longer have its original RAM, then I’d recommend that you make an appointment at your nearest Apple store to have them diagnose the problem.
