My macbook is not turning on. what should I do?

The light indicator for the battery shows, full power, and when I plug in the cord, it turns orange. But it still won't turn on. all i get is a black screen. no noise. nothing but a black screen with a battery telling me it is ready. I have a macbook, aluminum, 13" (late 2008 model)

Take your MacBook Pro (not macbook) to an Apple store or AASP.

  • I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do?

    I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do? do I just need a new screen or what? I'm freaking out here

    Don't freak out, just get over it. It's probably done.
    What should I do if I drop my phone in the toilet?
    Apple may offer you an refurbished iPhone in exchange for yours, for about half the cost of a new one.
    I wouldn't be too specific about just how it got wet

  • HT1414 my iphone will not turn on. what should i do?

    Ive tried every step provided by apple but my original iphone will not turn on. what should i do?

    Well, if you've tried "every step", then there's nothing more to do.  Bring your phone into Apple.

  • My imac will not turn over, what should I do

    my imac will not turn over, what should I do

    Just FYI,
    You are not addressing Apple here.
    People here who help troubleshoot and attempt to correctly answer technical questions in these Apple Support Communities are Apple users just like yourself.
    There are two initial things you can try.
    An NVRAM reset.
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information. The logic board battery helps retain NVRAM/PRAM settings when your computer is shut down.
    IF this fails to help reboot your iMac, you could try an SMC reset.
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Check back if neither one of these solves your iMac's issues.

  • My iPhone will not turn on, what should I do?

    My iPhone will not turn on, I press the power button and the screen stays black, it's been on charge for the past hour and nothing is happening still. This has never happened and I've had my iPhone for over a year. What should I do?

    Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • Iphone 4S stopped working when fully charged and it will not turn on. what should i try?

    My brand new, fully charged, working for nearly 2 days iPhone 4S suddenly stopped working and will not turn on. I've tried recharging and it's unresponsive. What should I try to do?

    I've had a similar thing happen to my new iPhone 4S three times. It gets hot and doesn't respond to either button -- the screen remains completely off. I have to hold down both buttons for awhile until the Apple appears and then everything seems fine... until it happens again. Once it happened overnight, so I missed  my alarms. Another time, it was while I was at dinner.
    Always it happens when the iPhone is on standby with the screen off and nothing particular happening with it. The iPhone 4S is brand new, hasn't been dropped, hasn't been messed with in any way.
    Is there a way I can get a trace of what happened before I reset it? The system log (visible in "System Status" and other apps) starts with the reset, so it doesn't help here.

  • I have the iphone 3g and tried to update it to the latest version on itunes, which i found out later was not compatible with 3g and is now not turning on, what should i do?

    iphone 3g not working because of uncompatible update, what should i do?

    There is no way to update a 3G to iOS 4.3.x using approved Apple procedures (meaning using iTunes), so presumably you used a non-approved procedure to do it. You may now have an iBrick, but you can try to restore it to a supported version using iTunes and DFU mode. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. If this fails there may still be a way, but you won't find it in this forum. You need to try some iPhone hacking sites.

  • My macbook will not turn on what do I do?`

    Whenever I turn on my macbook the screen flashes an apple then a sort of stop sign. A circle with a line through it?
    What do I do?
    Black Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   N/A

    The circle-with-slash symbol means that it can't get past the boot firmware step in starting up:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303363
    I think this means basically that some system file is damaged or missing from where it should be located.
    If disk repair (Disk Utility) doesn't work, you may need to archive and reinstall OS X.

    You can take it to an Apple retailer and get a refurbished replacement for it.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • My Iphone 5 will not turn on, what should I do?

    Even when I try turning the Iphone on by using my charger it still doesnt work (lock button doesnt work)

    If it's a hardware issue (defective lock button), take it to an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    If it is a hardware problem and it is due to a defect in the unit (as opposed to damaging the unit), it should be covered by warranty.

  • Wi-Fi on macbook will not turn on, what is the problem?

    Wi-Fi at locations other than home worked fine until a couple months ago when it started working off and on.
    When I would get home, it worked fine until November 07 when it quit altogether. I go into network diagnostics to turn Wi-Fi back on but there is no result.
    Is this problem repairable and if so what do I need to do?

    Has it been fully charged since you brought it out the box?  if you have fully charge it.
    Try a reset holding down the home/power button togetther for 10 to 15 secs or until you see the apple logo and then release.   Wait for phone to boot back up.
