Macbookpro won't turn on

It was completely normal before i went to bed. The next morning, it just won't turn on.
I did not shut down my macbook, it was on charger the whole night.
Now the battery life indicator won't show any lights when button is pressed. There isn't charging light when plugged (tried my friend's charger, no charging light as well). Nothing happened, no sound when the turn on button is pressed.
100% no liquid damage. It just won't turn on suddenly.
Please help, Thanks.

Hello killtheoriginal
Start with resetting the SMC on your MacBook Pro to get it to power back on.

Early 2008 macbookpro won't turn on nothing is working

I've just sifted through about 60 discussions like this but no answers that work for me. I have an early 2008 macbookpro. The battery wouldn't let me unplug the adaptor for more than a minute before it shuts down with no warning and won't turn on for 20 mins. I expect things to not work in my life so I was fine with always having it plugged in/dealing with this inconvience. Yesterday the adapter got knocked out of place and it was left on no more than 20 mins and it was competely dead. So I just plugged it back in and let it sit for a few hours assuming it just needed to charge back up. Now it won't turn on at all. The battery indicator lights all light up and then quickly fade when I press the button. I have no idea what this means since I can't find a guide on what the indicator lights for earlier models. But there is obviously some life in it if its able to light up. The adaptor is working fine, the indicator light is green. I've tried resetting the PRAM, PMU, SMC and reseating the RAM. Basically EVERYTHING. I don't even think it notices I'm doing these 'resets' since it has no power going throught it at all so it's of little help. I don't have an apple store near me or even the gas money to get me to one. I see some poeple with the same problems getting a new battery and it still not working. I was also under the impression that macbook pros can run with out a battery in it. Mine has never done so it always needed the battery installed to even turn on. Please help

Having had EXACTLY the same problem last night with my beloved macbook pro, I just got off the phone with a spirited apple advisor who pretty much told me that I was inaccessibly dead in the water and there was nothing I could do...And so, now I must go on leeching off of random stationary computers in efforts of attempting to get my projects and school assignments done on time. //nearly finished with rant...
Anyways, seeing I have nowhere near the money to buy another macbookpro, I bid a farwell to the apple community for the most part
If you guys had any more luck, please share! ...if the same doomed fate, I am very sorry to hear of this mutual sorrow.

Macbookpro won't turn on, why is it not charging?

MacBook Pro would not turn on, replaced battery. Worked upon installation, tried to recharged battery. Computer won't turn on. Charged light on power cord is on, but computer won't turn on.

No use posting the same message four times or more. If you're MBP is not charging and you've already replaced the battery, then it's time for a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP.

MacBookPro won't download updates. No error message. Using Software Update. Gray box just turns a lighter shade of gray

MacBookPro won't download updates. No error message. Using Software Update-not using App. Gray button just turns a lighter shade of gray and just sits there. Have done previous downloads last one on Jan.9 for desktop and two others.

So I've realized that iTunes needs service pack 2 for
XP, and I have 1, so I'm trying to download it, but
that's not working either... I wonder if you know
windows as well as apple? I have to turn the Active
x controls on and this tool bar is to appear so I can
do that but I can't get it to appear. I've tried
raising the security settings but nothing appears...
interesting.................what is service pack 2 and where can i find it? My itunes still flickers on and off when i attempt to use it. .. and how do i get to the active X controls so that i can adjust them? Thank you guys so much for your time and assistance :-D

Hi everyone, so I was on my MacBook Pro 10 mins ago and it all of a sudden shut down and won't turn back on? I haven't had it backed up for a while now but does anyone know what could have possibly happened and if it will affect my hard drive?

My MacBook Pro 13inch won't turn on? It randomly shut down itself and won't turn on!!? Will it affect my back up? Hard drive disk? Because it has all my work and personal things I really need on there! Please if anyone can help me!!

IPhone won't turn off and won't sync even after I plug in my computer.

My iPhone started acting odd after my husband updated it to iOS5. It started with when I touch the apps, it responded with delay. Today, when I want to check my email. The app just simply not responding to any touch on the screen. I tried to turn off to restart, but it won't turn off. So I plug in my computer try to sync see if that can somehow makes it "budge". I successfully upload the new photos from iPhone to my MacBookPro, but after that, it won't "sync". The "sync" bottom on the itune page stay "gray". I cannot click on it. What should I do?

Try a Reset...
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons..

K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts

K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts. Every time I click on "Turn off computer" in Windows XP, it shuts down, but restarts again. Could this be OS related, or perhaps Bios related. My other machine, almost identical to this one, except that the other machine has BIOS rev 7.6 and this one 7.2.

PSUs seem to be yr favorite subject, but I'm afraid this time it's software. I experimented some more as the problem only occured after installing the Nvidia drivers. Comparing the system settings in the device manager before installing drivers and after installing them, reveils that the problem shows up when AGP HOST TO PCI BRIDGE is installed. When killing this item the PC shuts off properly. Unfortunately when turning back on, Windows automatically reinstalls the PCI bridge and I have the problem again. LOOKS LIKE A MSI SOFTWARE PROBLEM !
By the way I have a PCI graphics board and not AGP in the failing PC (the good one has AGP graphics).
Now what?

[Help]iPhone 5s screen won't turn on / won't play sounds

Hello, my name is Bryan.
I've got a problem with my iPhone 5s. I opened my iPhone to fix an issue with the home button (Watched a guide on youtube on how to achieve this), and I connected everything as it is supposed to go, my home button is working but now my screen won't turn on or the phone won't play any sounds. I know the phone it's on because I can connect it to the computer and the computer recognizes it. Also, I tried calling it, and it rings on the phone I am calling from, but my iPhone simply won't play any sounds...
I am also sure the phone is not in DFU mode.
Any help?
Thanks in advance,
- Bryan

It won't even vibrate or do anything, but it's on.

Remote app on my iOS devices control my apple tv, but won't turn my newest gen apple tv on when i open the app. It used to turn my previous gen apple tv on. Remote app controls apple tv just fine once i turn it on with the provided remote control. Help?

Hello CournteyGould3,
Congratulations on your new Apple TV! I found an article with steps you can take when your remote app can't connect to the Apple TV. I recommend following the steps in the article below (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

My iPhone 5 won't turn on, the screen just stays black!

My iPhone 5 won't turn on I have held the power button to see if it's dead or not and it doesn't seem to change the screen it just black I thought the battery could of died or something similar it only happened about 2 hours ago please help!

Hey Thermali,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
- Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
- Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
- Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
- After at least 15 minutes, if:
               - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
               - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
               - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
- If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
               - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
               - If the display remains black, go to next step.
- Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
- If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

My iPhone 5 won't turn on

My iPhone 5 won't turn on and won't restart or restore... any suggestions?

Is the Battery Charged...?

See Here for > Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this First... No Data will be Lost...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

My Iphone 5 won't TURN on or OFF it won't do anything it's just showing the Apple logo the WHOLE time Please help

MY IPhone 5 won't turn on or do ANYTHINGS please help

Plug into computer then hold the lock and home buttons until it syncs

My iphone 5 won't turn on but when plugged into power source it keeps showing apple logo?

My iPhone 5 won't turn on at all and then when I plug it into a power source either into a plug socket or into my laptop with the USB cable it keeps showing start up screen with apple logo over and over again on a loop.
I have tried holding the top and front button together, this didn't work. I have also tried connecting to my laptop and following the reboot steps that I found on another discussion forum. Neither worked for me. The phone just won't reboot and it keeps continuing to loop the apple logo screen over and over without me touching anything.
The iPhone won't even connect to itunes and so itunes seems to not recognise my phone because its not even turning on (just continually apple logo screen appears for 5 seconds, goes to black screen and then repeats).
I don't know what is happening to it! Can anyone help? Is it a fault with the hardware or have I dont something to it? The next appointment at the genius bar for me is monday so I'm going to keep looking for any more recent ones until then but I really need to get it sorted before then so if anyone can help that would be great!
Thanks

Try a reset when your iPhone is plugged into the charger as you say it does not respond when not plugged in...
Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release. This may take up to 10 seconds. This is the equivalent of a re-boot and you will not lose any data.
See if it will charge after this.
