Mba making chime noise when i press power but it stays at a blank screen?

I've had my macbook air since Christmas and was working fine till a couple of days ago when i tried to turn on my mba it wouldn't turn on so i plugged it in to its charger, because i thought it was flat. the next day when i pressed the power button it made the regular default chime sound, but the screen didn't come up with my login as usual. i checked the apple sign on the back and it was on but the screen stayed blank.
what should i do?

My iPod keeps flashing white and making a noise when I press the button?

Whenever I press the button, my iPod makes a strange clicking sound and the screen turns white for a few moments. It will not allow me access to the home menu or do anything else that requires the use of the button. I don't know what might have caused it, if it is repairable, or even what is causing the problem. Help??

My ipod does the same thing. The white flashing is the ipod taking a picture of the screen you're on. I haven't found a permanent fix for it, but what I do when it happens is hold the home button down until it turns off then turn it back on.

When i press power button i hear several click sounds before start up?

When I press power button I hear several click sounds before start up begins. Shortly after Apple logo appears it clicks off.

Which MacBook Pro do you have? If it has an optical drive then that is just the optical drive checking if there is a disk inserted.

No one here can say for sure what Apple will do. You need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the device looked at, and Apple makes the final determination. If they find a problem with the device, they can replace it.

My nokia 5530 wont turn on when i press power butt...

Hey guys,
my nokia 5530 wont turn on when i press power button
I can't do a hard reset because i can't turn on ..
Anyone have the solution please ?..
I already try this :
" /t5/Nseries-and-S60-Smartphones/nokia-5530-wont-come-on/m-p/581891 "

Try removing the memory card, and turning it on while plugged it.
Also try it with a new battery.
This also happened to me once, I even hard reset it and nothing happened. Turned out to be that the battery died suddenly.
If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks.

Why would my iPod show a full battery when connected to power but when not connected it will no longer turn on

Why would my iPod show a full battery when connected to power but when not connected it will no longer turn on

For both
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Go to Settings>Notifications and turn alerts/sounds on for the app(s) in question. Not all apps have all options.

Why does my 4s keep returning tot the boot screen (apple logo) when I press the home button to see the lock screen?

3 or 4 times since I first fired up my iPhone 4S yesterday, it has displayed the boot screen (apple logo) when I press the Home button to display the lock screen. After 10-20 seconds the phone displays the lock screen, but at that point it has to search for a cell signal (as if the phone just booted up), which takes another 20-30 seconds.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Another thing that has happened only once, but that seems related, is that when I clicked the lock button on the top of the phone, the phone displayed the spinning circle that usually displays when an iPhone or iPad is shutting down.
Any ideas on what MIT be causing this?

Disk repair hasn't worked as well.
I just wanted to add a quick observation: after I tried the TM restore for the first time, Safe Boot in verbose mode seems to be stuck at this line "VBoxAdpDrv: version 3.1.0 r55467". This may point to the problem being a Virtual Box problem.
I use Virtual Box extremely rarely - haven't used it in many months. After a re-install, I'm going to remove it and then try the upgrade. If it works, then we've probably found the culprit. If it is real, Apple should maybe add a line saying Virtual Box known to cause problems with this upgrade (or fix it ).

TS4000 my reminders on my 4S are invisible. they still appear on my icloud and the reminders pop up when they're due but the list itself is blank. HELP!

Try force-closing the Reminders app and reset your phone: double-tap the home button, locate Reminders, swipe up on the image above the app icon to close it, tap the home button again. Then hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release and wait for it to restart. Then check your reminders again.

Iphone 4s wont power on, im just getting a blank screen with battery charging on front screen

iphone 4s wont power on, im just getting a blank screen with battery charging on front screen>>>>becouse it is after damage water

At Apple Store, if you have AppleCare +, replacement iPhone 4S costs $50, if no +, then it will cost $199. Either your battery is faulty, the power management is faulty, or the charging port is faulty, or all three. Start with battery replacement. If still problem, then try charging port with flex cable replacement. If still problem, then it is very complex fix or no fix at all possible.

HT1386 I just got an iphone 4 and when I go to sync it, it appears in the left hand column but when I click on it there is just a blank screen with the apply logo and a tiny lock.

OK, I think I fixed it.
After trying to restore with an old backup from the phone (it estimated it would take 4 hours) I cancelled and went through the setup menus again, but set it up as a new phone. It then appeared in iTunes and I restored it from the computer, not the phone. It appears to be working, it's syncing my old apps right now.
Summary:
1. Reset settings on phone (hopefully you backed up fairly recently)
2. Set up as NEW iPhone in setup menu on phone
3. Restore from iTunes on computer when it recognizes the phone
4. Cross fingers

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
