MBP will not turn on even when plugged in

My laptop was not plugged in but had plenty of battery (it's only 6 months old and has a great battery life - I don't leave it constantly plugged in and let the battery die all the way often) when all of a sudden it just shut off. I don't think I heard any beeps or sounds. I tried to plug it in but nothing; the charger light just flashes amber and green very dimly and the battery indicator on the side shows a dead battery. No liquids were near the laptop and I'm very very careful about overheating. I tried to SMC reset. I borrowed a roommate's charger but still nothing.
I did plug in my iPhone USB cable to it right before it turned off, I wonder if that short circuited it or something? I live over an hour from the nearest Apple store and I'm a college student with no car anyway. Already tried my school tech support which told me they don't deal with hardware problems and plus last time I sent a laptop there they charged me almost $300 to tell me to get a new computer and retrieved almost none of my files.

You can't, unless you're technically expert and have all the necessary test equipment and tools, and don't mind voiding any existing warranty. Otherwise, take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your area.
Before going that route, try charging it with the AC adaptor for at least 1 hour. If it gets hot again, stop ASAP.

MY iPhone will not turn on even when plugged in.

My 3gs was working. I plugged into my Mac to charge. Came back and the phone is unresponsive. Tried turning on using one and both buttons, NOTHING. When it is plugged in still nothing. Tried letting it charge and back of iPhone (probably battery) is very hot.

How do I sync my iPhone 5 to my new PC? iTunes will not recognize it even when plugged in the USB port. Settings General iTunes wifi sync is still my old laptop. Any help is appreciated.

Light on iphone4 flash will not turn off even when phone is powered down, now it is overheated and says not usable till cooled, but it won't cool. I'm afraid it will start a fire.

light on iphone4 flash will not turn off even when phone is powered down, now it is overheated and says not usable till cooled, but it won't cool. I'm afraid it will start a fire. Aside from breaking it, putting in in a metal pail in the yard, or putting it in a bucket of water, what can be done to keep it from setting a fire. It is so hot it burns my skin if i touch it, so bright, it hurts to look at, so hot there is now a warning that it is not usable till it cools down, but there is no way to cool it down.

more info, this happened after update to 7.0.2, and also wifi will no longer turn on since update. I took it in to apple store, it had one month left on warrenty, and they said that it would have had to get wet for this to happen. I thought that maybe it got wet through my jeans pocket in the rain or something so I didn't pursue it. Now of course, it is out of warranty by a month.

HT1320 my ipod nano is stuck in the lock position, my hold switch will not turn off even when I move it, I have restored it and it came back on in the hold position

My ipod naaIno is stuck in the lock position, my hold switch will not turn off even when I move it. I have tried restoring it and resetting it and it still comes back on in the hold/locked postion. It will only play when placed on a docking station and then I cant scroll to pick songs, I can only go to next song using buttons on docking station.

You will need to have the hold switch replaced.

IMac Will Not Turn On (Even When Cool and SMC Reset)

Hi all.
I have recently had a VERY ANNOYING problem with my iMac. It will not turn on. No matter what. I have reset the SMC (unplug, wait whatever, plug back in etc.) and have cooled it down with time and a battery fan held up to the case, but it still will not turn on.
I am really getting sick of this iMac and feel like sending it back, but I know that there is some sort of easy fix out there somewhere. I do not want to take it to the Apple Store again (2 times in the 5 days Ive had it already).
I read somewhere else that the older iMacs have stuffed up logic boards, which causes the computer's 'max operating temperature' to be much lower than usual, causing unnecessary 'overheating'. Is there some way to disable auto-shutdowns because of temperature, or raise the maximum allowed?
Please help, I just need to upgrade my Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 (from 10.6.3) to fix some software problems!
Thank you so much!
-Michael
Oh yes, iMac stats:
1.5GB of RAM
2.0GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo processor
Early 2006 20" White iMac
Anything else you need to know about it, just ask!

Ok, the Snow Leopard disc did not have the AHT thingy on it, but the Tiger one did. Currently running extended test. Had to reset the SMC to get the thing to turn on. I will do the test twice, then reset the PRAM and give you the results.
I have come to a conclusion about one thing: Old iMacs are very fussy and take a lot of work to keep them going, but are very satisfying to use.

My iphone will not turn on even when its charging, how do i fix this?

ok so i bought a used iphone 4g offline. well i received it today and it does not work at all. I cannot turn on the iphone by the on/off button. Also I cannot turn on the iphone even while its charging, in fact it will not charge. As I Know Apple's policy on replacing the iphone, One must purchase a warranty. I Have not done so again due to me getting this iphone offline. Is There Any Tips On How To Get This To Work?

Not sure who you bought the iphone from (btw there is no "4g"), but if it was from ebay or some stranger, then I would get in touch with the person ASAP and ask about this problem. You could also try using a different USB cable, since the current one MAY have a probelm with charging, as other users have experienced. If nothing can charge the phone, then I would be very worried.
I assume you have tried the usual trick: reset.

HT1349 My one week old iphone 4S went dead and will not turn on even by plugging into wall outlet or MacBook Pro, besides taking back to Verizon is there anything I can do?

I have a week old Verizon iPhone 4S and it went dead and I have tried plugging into the wall outlet and into a MacBook Pro and pushed all the buttons but nothing. Besides taking back to Verizon is there anything I can do?

Thanks. I also found that holding the home button and on/ off button at same time for 15 seconds turned it back on.

HT1430 My iPad will not turn on even when charged

My iPad wont turn on

Hi bella,
Try a reset: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears. If it does, your in business. Just wait for it to finish resetting and the Home screen will display.
Cheers,

I pod shut off and will not turn on even when pluged in

the i pod seams dead its been pluged in for hours and still nothing

If your iPod doesn't turn on, here are some reasons with their solutions:
iPod is in Recovery Mode
Connect iPod to computer and restore.
***iPod battery needs to be replaced.
Go to your nearest Apple store and ask for battery replacement; tell them what happened.***
iPod lock button is broken.
Connect iPod to different computer or speaker that supports charging and see if it turns on.
*** Please reply with how old your iPod is before doing this.***

Urgent- Zen X-Fi not switching on even when plugged in

I left my Zen X-fi in the glove box of my car for two nights and when I retrieved it today it will not switch on, even when plugged into the computer via USB or through my mains adaptor . I have tried using the reset button and tried to recovery it using recovery mode, but that is not working. I am going on holiday in two days and I need it fixed urgently. Any help please?

**** it! After ordering a new battery at my own expense and nearly two hours carefully disassembling the device and soldering a new battery on, my worst fears were confirmed because the device still isn't working. It looks like the player has well and truly died and there appears to be nothing more I can do to fix it.
Looks like I will have to fork out for a new device. Any suggestions on what model I should go for?
