MBP shuts down normally but won't power up unless reset

Upgraded to Leopard about a week ago. Since then: MBP shuts down normally. But a simple press to the power button won't start it up. If I press and hold it, then press again, it will start up. Seems to be functioning just fine otherwise.

Ultimately this machine ended up back at apple, was repaired under warranty, and works fine.

MBP shuts down on AC power

sorry for the long post.
Got my mbp back from apple with new logic board and battery after repeated kernel panics. 2nd day in after running new battery down to about 20%, plugged into AC and poof, mbp shuts down. Will not boot up while plugged in. Installed secong battery and boots up fine. BUT, after this battery goes down past 30% and upon plugging into AC mbp shuts down again.
Pulling battery and running on AC alone works fine, but cannot work while charging. Must keep it off and charge until green light on magsafe.

Took in to apple store. They replaced the logic board [again] and the whole power connector assembly for the ac adapter. Also the left fan and the temperature control gauge(?)
Well that's it folks! We're back up and running now!
thanks for the views and replies.

My 2011 MBP shut down when I was plugged in a T-Mobile samsung 2 using "market" USB, and won't turn on

My 2011 MBP shut down when I was plugged in a T-Mobile samsung 2 using "market" USB. now it won't turn. The first time it happened, unaware of the cause of shut down at the moment, I was able to turn it on. When I plugged it in again it shut down automatically, and now it won't turn on. The MBP was 85% charged at the moment. It has be 76 hours since it shut down. Please help

MBP shuts down when battery at appox. 30%

Hello,
I have a 17" MBP 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
Recently (in the last 3-4 days) it has decided to shut down completely when the battery charge falls to around 30%. Prior to these symptoms appearing, it behaved normally with the 'low battery warning' appearing at about 5% and then going to sleep mode as opposed to shutting down.
I have reset the SMU by removing the adapter, battery and pressing the power button for 5 secs. Unfortunately the symptoms remain. Obviously I cannot re-calibrate the battery as it won't carry on below 30% charge without the MBP shutting down.
I'll be taking a trip to my local Apple dealer in the next few days but was wondering if anyone else here has any further suggestions I could try.
Many thanks in advance.

Umm... of course Apple will do something. I do not understand why you felt you had to add that to your reply. Allow me to explain:
1. I have AppleCare, therefore if it's a hardware issue then any repair will be carried out without any cost to me.
2. Apple have introduced a 'battery exchange and extension' program:
http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/
If the battery is at fault, regardless of whether I have AppleCare or not, the battery will be replaced as it falls within the terms of the extension program.
I have just now reset the PRAM and am running on battery power. I'll know in the next couple of hours whether that has had any effect or not.
Meantime, if anyone else has any additional suggestions as opposed to 'me too' type replies I would be very grateful.
Many thanks.

Battery doesn't charge AND frequent shut down when only on AC power

Hello all,
I've spent some time browsing and searching this forum to avoid asking a question that has already been answered but I haven't seen a complete answer to this situation so here goes.
I have a Lenovo 3000 N100 model 0768DKU. Battery (P/N 92P1185) started not charging/not holding a change about 6-8 months ago AND the laptop now abruptly shuts down even when on AC power. From the forum I found out about the 18 month battery replacement policy but I'm just a few months past the 18 months so out of luck there. Normally I would just buy a new battery but the last few months I've been getting very frequent shut downs when the laptop is exclusively on AC power even with the battery removed! This has kept me from buying a battery because the laptop won't stay on even when it's plugged into the wall then how will a battery help?
This has really thrown me for a loop since the laptop may run 30 minutes then it's dead like you pulled the power cord. Turn it back on maybe 10 minutes then dead, or 5 minutes then dead repeat over and over.
Steps I've taken since browsing the forums:
Virus scans/spyware are clean
Used compressed air on the fan vent to remove a little dust, opened up and sprayed out dust nothing major.
Speedfan is reporting cpu temperatures of 65C to 69C at 99% idle.
Reseated memory
Questions:
Would a new battery potentially solve this problem? I'm not sure how since it shuts down even with the battery removed and only the power cord plugged in.
Bad AC adapter?
Thermal problem? It looks like the cpu is still below temperature ranges based on Intel but it sure seem like a thermal problem to me the way it shuts down. I'm trying some new thermal grease tonight but not sure if that will realy make a difference.
Any suggestions, I'd hate for it to be motherboard, etc.
Sorry if this was answered elsewhere I've seen all the battery posts but not how the battery would address the fact the laptop shuts down even when on AC power with or without the battery installed.
Thanks,
Chad

Hard reset didn't work for me either, thanks for the tip it was worth a shot.
Thermal paste kept temps lower around 45C still suddenly shut off like usual while on AC power. 3, 5, minutes, etc. Doesn't appear to be thermal.
Could the "bad" battery somehow be messing up the power circuit and cutting off. Looks like the battery problem with these units is huge wish I'd been looking earlier since I was within the extended 18 month period at the time. Just want to hear that someone bought a battery and it fixed the problem....

MBP shutting down unexpectedly even though battery meter still has charge

Hi,
just in this last week, my MBP has been shutting itself down very suddenly when on battery power when there's still charge left.
At first there was about 25% charge left. Over the next few days, that went up progressively till today it is now shutting itself down with more than 50% charge left.
Has anyone had issues such as this? and what should i do to rectify it?
I'm going to try recalibrating the battery.
I don't usually use the MBP with the power connected
I try where I can to charge and then disconnect and use till power is low.

I was having same problem: meter shows plenty of charge left, yet MBP shuts down. When I decided to take a look at my battery (also with recall in mind) was horrified to find it swollen and warped so badly -- pushing out of its casing. Could barely get it out and then back in. That I'm getting any charge at all amazes me considering how badly the battery is misshapen.
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm beginning to think Apple's not being quite up-front about the seriousness of the problem: Yes, MBP gets hot, yet no more than my old PowerBook and iBooks.
But, had we been given batteries which are perhaps really unsafe, not to mention causing lost work time and maybe systemic difficulties?

ITunes blocks MBP shut down

power on MBP - open iTunes - can't shut down (white screen, spinning wheel)
power on MBP - open most of other software - shut down is OK!
I've tryed a lot of things like reset SMC and PRAM, repair permissions, verify disk, safe boot, quit (and force quit) iTunes before shut down etc., but nothing helps.

2011 MBP shuts down when connected to external display

I've been using my 2011 15" MBP for about a week now with no problem until today when I tried to connect it to my old 20" cinema display. I have the mini display port hooked up to the dvi adapter and a usb connection hooked up to external keyboard and mouse. Everything works just fine if I keep the lid up on the MBP, but if I shut the lid, the MBP shuts down. Down, not that the big screen goes black & then comes on again. It turns itself off.
Any way I can avoid a trip to the Apple store? In the past, the "geniuses" knew less about external displays than I did. Is there an issue because of the dual graphics cards?

no - I realized later that the machine doesn't shut off it just acts like it. The hard drive stops spinning & the screen remains black no matter what I do. This doesn't happen when I just shut the lid & then go back to working on it.
Then if I shut it again & try to get the monitor to respond, I get a blue screen of death color with a two inch band of blue noise along the left side. Very weird.

My I phone 3gs shuts down suddenlly but when i removed the sim it is working without shutting down suddenlly again when you insert the sim it started shutting down suddenlly

My I phone 3gs shuts down suddelly but when I removed sim card it started working without sudden shut downs, again when I insert sim card it started shutting down suddenlly.

I have Satellite A300 and until now everything works OK.
I would like to know what happen when you remove the battery and use notebook with power supply only. Does notebook shuts down again.
If not let OS run and put the battery.
Is the battery recognized properly? Does notebook switch off again?
To be honest I cannot imagine this issue has something with software or background processes. Recovery image you got with your notebook is designed for this certain notebook mode. Recovery image is tested and I dont think preinstalled OS has anything to do with this.
Full diagnosis?
And how to do this? You know very well that diagnosis can be done with diagnostic tools only and such tools have services only. I hope you will find answers but Im 99% sure there is nothing you can do about that. Maybe you should contact service, explain the situation and ask for help.

Auto shuts down - could it be the power adapter?

I'm having problems with my first generation macbook lately, it will auto shuts down (not sleep) with the power adapter still attached. And when it shuts down, the adapter still light up green. Im working without the battery, it is removed all the time cos it is dead already.
Could the problem lies with the power adapter? but it's still shows green light, that means there is still power running thru? I would like to test with another power adapter but i don have friends who have a mac. I don't want to spend money one another power adapter, without knowing the cause.
Is it possible to do a test on the power adpater? thanks!

A test you could try (rather than another adapter) is to put the "dead" battery back in and run it on AC. As Gregory said, without the battery, the slightest knock to the magsafe connecter may cause it to disconnect, even momentarily, thus you lose all power and your MB turns off. Hopefully the battery will have enough capacity to allow the MB to stay on (briefly) when the connecter is disconnected for that moment. Just an idea.
Good luck.

MBP shuts down unexpectedly when on battery

Today my MBP shuts down unexpectedly when on battery. It started at about 50%. I seems to happen if I don't a thing for a short while when I read something or so. I most of the time when using mu MBP have it on the net cord but today I wanted to work the battery.
Does anyone know what it could be? I have searched in the forum but the answers hasn't been satisfying. I find it weird that I have to use the keyboard or the track pad to keep going.

Not sure what the cause is but you can try resetting the SMC.

MBP shuts down suddenly when running in battery mode

Hi
I am from Zaragoza (Spain) and lately (about 2 months ago as I can remember) my mbp shuts down when running in battery mode and without any advice. I see some of you also have this problem.
I thought it was me not seeing the low battery indicator but last week I realized the battery was above 40%!!
This problem has been repeating and the battery level was between 40% and 60% when my computer shut down.
What am I supposed to do? My MBP is still in warranty and I bought it in the online apple store.
Thanks for the help.

In the system profiler it says the cycle count to 24. The laptop is from late March 2008.
The battery info is the following:

Thanks for your help.

MBP shuts down and requires a reboot (not a wake up)

I have a MBP that is running 10.5.8. When the power gets low and the MBP shuts down, I have to reboot it (push the power button). This is not the case with our iBook, or MacBook (I should double check it), here we just plug it in, hit the space bar and it starts up where it left off (just like it was asleep).
Is there some setting or ?
Thanks

If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, you can use virtual Lock Button. Tap Settings App > General > Assessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even be used to turn OFF iPhone, by holding down on it. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

In IE if I set the zoom at lets say 150% it will stay that way even if I shut down. But with firefox, it goes back to small print every time I view a new page. Is there a way to set the zoom to stay at a larger size? Thanks, EH

V 3.6.13 - what has become of 'Restore previous session'? I've lost track of many topics in tags I had open when I had to shut down in advance of a power down by the electricity co. for day-long maintenence work in my area.

I've lost track of many topics in tags I had open when I had to shut down in advance of a power down by the electricity co. for day-long maintenence work in my area. Being able to quickly close all tags, knowing one can recover them later is invaluable.
