Mbp died

My MBP was bought in August 2012 and has been working great so far. Yesterday i turned my mbp off and everything was fine, battery level was 60%. Today i want to turn my mpb on but it won't go on. It does nothing. No sound, no lights, nothing. Even the battery indicator on the side doesn't do anything. When i connetc my adater on the mbp it gives a green light like the battery is full, and now the battery indicater works and gives me 4 dots but my mbp still does not go on. and on the side where my magsafe goes in it smells burned, a strange smell. I have no idea whats wrong. My mbp is 2 years old and i have never had a problem with it. Can someone help me please.

and on the side where my magsafe goes in it smells burned, a strange smell.
If that is the case, there is nothing you can do at home to fix it, and there isn't much we can say here other than to take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider as soon as you can.

  • My (Snowleopard) MBP died, but I had it backed up externally with TimeMachine. I bought an Air and used Migration Assistant which worked to bring the data over.  However, I've now got two versions of "me" on Air - I only want one with all my info. Help!

    I know it's generally recommended (if you're going to bring data from one machine to another) to update the OS on the source computer before transfer.  However, my MBP died unexpectedly and my information was backed up with TimeMachine in SnowLeopard.  The Air I bought as a replacement runs Lion.
    I was able to use Migation Assistant to bring my info/programs/etc over...but I've now got the user set up initially (in store) with Lion when I made the purchase - and I now have a second "persona" that contains all of my backed up information from the time capsule.
    Given that the Airs have (relatively speaking) smaller amounts of memory, and that I dont' want to be bouncing back and fourth between profiles, I'm wondering if it's safe to delete the "new user profile" (ie the one set up via Lion while in store) and just use and keep the "me" I brought in from the time capsule.
    I've never updated a MacOS before - let alone under these circumstances, so I've got a fair amount of trepidation around the whole process.
    What is the best way to wind up with one user profile, keeping all the information from my old machine and deleting anything superfluous as part of a secondary profile?
    Thanks in advance for any input you can provide surrounding this process! 

    Thank you! 
    I can't tell you how terrified I was when deleting the superfluous account...but it went just swimmingly!

  • The hard drive on my 2009 midyear 13" MBP died. I found this on Amazon and want to know if it is a good replacement choice:  Western Digital WD Scorpio Black 750 GB SATA 3 GB/s 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache Internal Bulk/OEM 2.5-Inch Mobile Hard Drive

    If you are going to upgrade your harddisk, why not upgrade to SSD harddisk. You macbook pro supports SATA II SSD drives acccording to these Specs. SATA III is backward compatible with SATA II, so you can buy SATA III drive if you can't find SATA II drives.
    Upgrading to SATA II SSD drive you give you super fast performence.
    These are a few Segate SSD drives from amazon, that are not that expensive, I guess.
    As for Western Digital vs Segate comparison, I second clintonfrombirmingham's suggestion. Western Digital never works for me.

  • My MBP died - Apple's 5-star service

    My late '07/early '08 MBP died tonight. The start up chime just keeps repeating ad infinitum. Googling suggests that it's a main logic board failure. My AppleCare warranty expired last week
    I rang Apple Support anyway as I've heard tell that they can be flexible about this. As the AC has only just expired and I've never made a claim on it they've raised an exception; "take it to a Retail Store, or approved repair centre, and they'll do whatever repairs are necessary" - result!!
    Apple, I love you
    Double result in fact. Not only has my wife said she'll take it into the Retail Store in Bath for me tomorrow, she's also said that I can have a new one so she can have this one. Think I'll wait and see what Ivy Bridge products appear though

    NOT a question, simply pssing on my +ve experience, I shoulda unmarked it as a question

  • MBP died - New iMac -xferring via Time Machine

    MBP died.  All software was up to date.  Everything was backed up via Time Machine.  Purchasing 27"iMac today.  How do I set the iMAC up via Time Machine? My biggest concern is Aperture (I use referenced files). Please be as specific as possible.

  • 13" MBP died. Only a black blank screen and blinking lights are visible. Any ideas??

    My friends MBP died the other night.  He put it on sleep mode one night and the following morning, and when he went to turn it on the following morning it would't.  Only a black blank screen and blinking lights.  There is no sound or anything.  BTW it is a mid-2010 MBP, no added hardware, everything stock. It wasn't custom configured, and I believe he upgraded to Lion earlier this year.  I read somewhere that depending how quickly the lights are blinking could indicate a specific problem.  Is this true? He is planning on taking it an Apple store, but figured we would try here first since it is a bit of a drive, and the warranty has expired. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  We are just trying to get an idea of what we are dealing with. Thank you!

    Looks like hardware problem.
    Apple can fix it. Take it to Apple as soon as possible.

  • Help:My MBP died. Does it pay to fix it?

    My mid-2009 13" MBP died the other day. Was stuck on grey startup with circle and slash through it ( like international no sign that you would see for smoking but in grey). After posting about it all were in agreement that my Hard Drive was probably the issue. Received my new Crucial SSD today. Installed it no issue. Formatted it no issue. Tried to restore from Time Capsule and was told that my backup was corrupted. Not too worried as I had everything backed up and had the disc for the 10.5. Leopard that originally came with the computer. Thought I would install the OSX then go through the process of upgrading and installing everything else.
    I had just successfully completed the new installation of the OSX (absolutely no issues). I then received an error message and the machine shut down with the darkening curtain coming in top to bottom. Now, it will power on to the Apple logo but no spinning time clock below. Cannot boot to recovery by Command-r.
    Thoughts about what could be wrong? Seems like an issue bigger than my hard drive. Does it pay to put money into this computer at this point? I am sure just having someone diagnose the issue will be several hundred dollars.
    Thanks for all your thoughts.

    First off you installed 10.5 on a machine that the firmware has been changed.
    Believe it or not, you could have installed 10.6 from the disk too, it's a full OS X 10.6.3 minus the free iLife, just hold the option key to boot from it. This would have been better as 10.5 has been mothballed basically.
    You can extract your free iLife from the 10.5 disks with Pacifist from CharlesSoft.
    Thought I would install the OSX then go through the process of upgrading and installing everything else.
    Does this mean you installed 10.5, then upgraded to 10.6, then upgraded to 10.7?
    I then received an error message and the machine shut down with the darkening curtain coming in top to bottom.
    That's a kernel panic. Could have come from third party software (if you installed it), or else it's bad OS X install somewhere along the line.
    Now, it will power on to the Apple logo but no spinning time clock below. Cannot boot to recovery by Command-r.
    Command r "Recovery Partition" only works in 10.7 and 10.8, so if 10.7 didn't get installed, you don't have one as it's a new boot drive.
    If you only got 10.5 on that machine it could be because 10.5's time there was no SSD's.
    You need to use the 10.6.3 disk, erase the entire drive and format OS X Extended Journaled, install 10.6.3 and Software Update to 10.6.8. before doing 10.7 or 10.8.

    https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro?view=documents
    BTW Apple can't help you as it's your SSD. If you want them to take care of it, remove the SSD and have them place their own new hard drive in there, test the machine and install 10.7 or 10.8, then if the machine is fine, take it home and use Carbon Copy Cloner with SATA to USB adapter, erase and clone to the SSD and try that.
    Also because SSD;'s are rather new, there might be some more tricks like enabling TRIM etc. on them or it could be a problem with that particular SSD and Macs.
    See MacOwnersSupportGroup, they have more experience with SSD's.

  • I have a mid 2009 13'' MBP. I got the battery replaced in Apple store, It then stopped displaying the battery status LED. After some months of use my MBP died. I got it checked in Apple verfied Service centre and was told that logic board was to blame

    I have a mid 2009 13'' MBP. I got the battery replaced in Apple store, It then stopped displaying the battery status LED.
    After some months of use my MBP died outside USA. I got it checked in Apple verfied Service centre and was told that logic board was faulty.
    After I came back to US I took my MBP to Apple store and was told that there is liquid damage in the system. My question is that if there was liquid damage why did my MBP stop displaying the battery status right after  the battery was changed secondly why didnt the apple verified Service centre tell me that there was liquid damage afterall I paid them the money for diagnosing the problem.
    Is there a process i can followup on this problem

    These are question you would need to ask that service center.

  • MBP Died, Need To Recover Data, Please Help!

    Hi All,
    So, my beloved MBP has bit the dust. When I turn it on, I see the sleep light turns on and hard disk activation for a second, then, nothing (the screen is always black and there is never a chime). After attempting multiple times to reset PRAM and SMC, nothing changes. So, I think my logic board may have died.
    But, this is not my question. My question is the following:
    I had Filevault turned on for my standard account. I also had Time Machine turned on for that account. Now, is it possible to take out the hard drive and open up the Filevault sparseimage on another Mac? If so, does it require the master password or the account password? Also, is it possible to recover my data from the Time Machine backup? And if so, how do I do that?
    Please, I need to know. Years of graduate school work relies on this!

    David, I'm not sure if I have an answer to your problem. But what about getting an external enclosure for the Internal HD and then connect it to another computer and boot from the now "External" HD. If that works then you can move the critical data off to another drive and then not have to worry about mounting a filevault sparceimage.

  • Has anyone had their MBP die after installing a new hard drive?

    hi,
    the reason why I ask is because:
    a while ago I had a lovely PB12" which was my favourite little laptop.. the only thing it was missing was hard drive space, so I had a certified apple centre install a 250GB drive in it to make it a much more usable personal machine. a few days later the motherboard fried itself, and because the machine was long out of warranty, there was pretty much nothing to be done about it. I'm pretty sure it was a dodgy job on replacing the drive that killed my machine but I obviously can't prove it.
    anyway that was then, this is now.. I'm thinking about replacing the 100GB 7200rpm drive that came with my MBP core2duo 2.33 17" machine, seeing as there are now 7200rpm drives as big as 320GB. but I really rely on this machine for a lot of work, and I'm not exactly ready to have it mysteriously die just like my old powerbook. I know the 12" powerbook was apparently notoriously difficult to open up and replace components so I get the feeling that the technicians must have bashed something up when they were trying to do the swap out. so my question is, has anyone at all with any recent MBP had the machine go seriously wrong after changing the drive? looking around on the internet it seems that changing the drive in my current machine is something easy enough that I could do it myself, which I'd probably do if I don't hear too many horror stories about it. my MBP is out of warranty and I don't have apple care, but is it correct that even if it still was under warranty, that would have been voided by my changing the hard drive?
    anyway, any experiences and opinions on this most appreciated, especially from anyone who has had major problems..
    cheers,
    antonio

    thanks for the replies, appreciate the feedback.
    as I mentioned in my original post, I think I'm probably overly paranoid because of the fact that an authorised repair centre managed to kill my PB just doing a simple drive switchover. but from everything I've heard, the powerbook 12" was already in a category of its own in terms of how difficult it was to access parts inside, with a high risk of breaking something in the process. so I'll probably end up swapping out the drive on the MBP myself, perhaps with the help of someone more technically nerdy than me (and who has the right tools).
    I originally got a 7200rpm drive, and will most probably go for the latest 320GB 7200s that are out there because I need the best performance running logic. but I'm also slightly tempted to go for a 500GB 5400 because I've heard there's not much in it performance-wise nowadays given that the 5400s use perpendicular technology rather than longitudinal. do any of you know if the current 320GB 7200s also use perpendicular recording?
    thanks!

  • My MBP died while it was updating and now it will boot up, but not stay on

    I got the new MacBook Pro 13" for Christmas this year (2012).. The other day I was updating it and I guess it died because now it will show the Apple Logo boot up symbol and then it will just shut off.. What can I do? The nearest Apple Store is about 2 1/2 hours away and I have NO TIME to make it down there until next weeekend. Are there any suggestions for what I can do? Thank you all so much!

    Your MBP shutting off is not a good sign.  AS are not the only places that repair Macs.  There may be an AASP that is closer.

  • My MBP died after the keyboard update

    Folks,
    I updated my MBP with the keyboard update. Before performing the restart, I emptied trash. The trash would not empty. I tried to cancel the empty of trash. Finally, I did a hard reboot (held down power button).
    Now, my MBP won't boot up. It starts booting but ends with a blue screen.
    Argh... Some one... PLEASE help me figure this out.
    Oh, yah, I've already re-installed Mac OS X 10.4 from the install CD. I did not do a clean install. Still have the same issue with the blue display even after the re-install.

    Solved the issue by booting in safe mode (Hold down shift while rebooting), logging in, going to accounts (system prefs) and removing login item.
    Had to call Apple Support to get the key information.

  • Is my MBP dying?

    I have a mid-2010 MBP ... In the last several months or so, I've started to notice the following issues:
    - Icons in the dock bounce for a while before the program finally opens.
    - Programs seem to take longer than they used to in order to open.
    - When they do open, there seem to be delayed reactions between a mouse click and the action.
    - Occasionally, lines on the video screen get messed up. It's similar to when your TV might screw up for a few seconds, but this doesn't go away until I reset the MBP.
    What might be the issues? What can I do to fix them?

    Personally, I would probably do it myself, especially if your RAM is a "user upgrade" option. You will be able to find less expensive RAM elsewhere.
    Here's an older article on "Do You Know About Apple's Flat Rate Repair Pricing?"
    So if I feel there may be other issues aside from needing new RAM or a HD, are you suggesting that the Flat Rate Plan might be good idea? Otherwise, if it’s just 1 thing, I might be better off fixing it on my own? Along those lines, what type repairs would I be better off doing on my own? (just so I’m ready to make a decision at the store)
    Thank you!

  • I think my MBP died. random freezes, three beeps at startup, etc.

    Yeah....Yesterday my MBP started freezing up randomly, but there didn't seem to be a problem with the windows boot camp partition.
    Today, I had a big event so I couldn't use my laptop, but I got home a couple of hours ago and started using it (in OSX)...and eventually started freezing again.
    It would only happen when I was typing something (on a website, iChat, Adium, etc.). When it froze, it froze: no mouse movement, keyboard input, clock would stay still, wouldn't even respond to closing the lid. So after a few "turn on, use computer for 2 min, force power off" cycles, I tried to turn it on to the wonderful sound of three loud beeps....pause...three loud beeps.
    That can't be good, right?
    Is there anything I can do?
    Message was edited by: your faec

    Yes. The first thing to try is removing and reseating the RAM modules. Poorly seated RAM modules are a common cause of the problem you're having.
    It's also possible that you've got bad RAM installed. If you've upgraded it yourself, try reinstalling the original modules and see if that solves the problem. If you have not upgraded the RAM, or you don't have other modules to try, remove one module at a time and try booting the MBP with only one stick of RAM. Be sure to try a single stick in each of the two RAM slots.

  • MBP died after security update

    I had a couple applications crash and was going to reboot, and saw that there was a security update so went ahead with that. After restart, there was no chime. The screen is staying black. Hard drive sounds like it is spinning but not being accessed. Light on latch is glowing but that's about it. Tried removing the battery and restarting, probably out of nostalgia for my Powerbook 520. Multiple power offs/ons produce same result, i.e., nothing. Any suggestions before I head to the Genius Bar?

    Do you have the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT video chip? If so, you could have this problem:
