MacbookPro not starting up, not even the front power light

Hi,
When I switch on my MBP, it is not starting up.
After I press power button, I hear hard disk revving up, it spins for 1-2 secs and then stops with the sound which is made when I switch off my MBP while resetting normally (by keeping the power button pressed for long enough)
besides the hard disk spinning up for those 2 seconds, there is no other indication of life in MBP, not even the front light is blinking.
By the way, I have checked battery and power connection, battery is charging normally, and I have tried starting MBP with power cable plugged in with and without the fully charged battery.
Can this be a RAM issue? Or do you think HDD has crashed?
Please help in resolving this issue
thanks

probably its defective, try taking it to the store, or if you dont have one near try calling apple to see where you can bring it.

Connect your iPhone to a power source (computer, wall charger, etc) and hold down BOTH the power AND home buttons for about 10-15 seconds. If all goes well you should get an Apple logo. Try it even if you think it won't work, and patience is key: 10 seconds is alot longer than one might think.

HT5654 Just tried 3 times to update iTunes on my PC running Vista. There was an error. It stopped the installation. Now iTunes will not start at all. The error message tells me to reinstall which I tried but did not work. What should I do?

Hello, Jdragone.
Thanks for the question. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

My iPad air would not start. Only show the apple logo then no reaction after that.

My iPad air would not start. Only show the apple logo then no reaction after that. This is already the 2nd time. Last time I sent back to the service center and they said it is the system problem and reset the system and charge me for the service because they said it is not a hardware problem. It happened less then 30 days and same problem again. Can someone please send me the hard-reset step so I can try myself before I send back to the service center again? thanks

Here's the hard reset info:

Firefox does not start by clicking on the icon in RHEL 5.

Firefox does not start by clicking on the icon in RHEL 5 on thin clients, also the internet proxy server usename is not accepted for java applets on webpages. However while using Firefox on the servers directly everthing works fine. This issue occurs on a server thin client environment, where the home directories are located on a 5 TB storage connected using SAS cables to the servers.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Try resetting the device by pressing the Home and Sleep/Wake button for several seconds, the device should then boot up.

My IPad mini hangs on the Internet. Will not start. Have rebooted the home and on / off. There is internet in the house (using it now). Getting the message: Safari can not open the page ...... What do I do?

Try this:
1. Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.

My ipad will not start up, it has the swirl in the center of the screen and has been there for 30hrs now, what can I do?

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly. The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up

When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly. The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up during start-up and stays there for ten minutes. Then, the ipad will start up properly.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Hey terremo,
Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:

Overdrive Media Console/iPhone Problem Resolved-"iTunes is not responding, bring iTunes to the front and check status.

I could not download books from Overdrive Media Console from my iMac desktop. I realized if I turned off iTunes Match in my iphone, it fixed the problem. On your iphone...Go to "Setting", scroll down to "Music" and turn off iTunes Match. i Tunes match is a music subscription service that I had purchased a few weeks ago. I could not figure out when I tried to download audiobooks from Overdrive I got the following message "iTunes is not responding, bring iTunes to the front and check status". Problem solved. I hope this helps others who are experiencing the same problem!

I'm assuming you are talking about audiobooks and if so, just download all the parts in overdrive media console then locate them in your finder. Go into Itunes and go File > Add new files to Library. Go select all the mp3s and upload them onto your library. Sync your iPhone with it and that is what has worked for me Hope this helps!

Try a SMC reset
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.
This process helps correct these power issues.

Could not start cache agent for the requested data store

Hi,
This is my first attempt in TimesTen. I am running TimesTen on the same Linux host (RHES 5.2) that running Oracle 11g R2. The version of TimesTen is:
