My MacBook Pro has gone off and now won't turn on or charge

Lastnight my MacBook Pro had full battery and then suddenly
went off, I tried to turn it back on and it wouldn't. Then I plugged in the charger and usually the little green light on the charger comes on and it didn't. It still won't turn on. Help please

The adapter may be the problem > Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
If the adapter appears to be ok, try the troubleshootin steps mentioned here.

Check your cable whether it is good. If it is use the wall plug to charge at least half an hour. See how it goes.

You are in Recovery Mode.
You need to connect to iTunes and restore.
Hopefully you have a backup.

My iMac G5 w/iSight (A1145) randomly shut off and now won't turn back on!!

I was using it like anyother day and it just turned off. Now it wont turn back on even with switching outlets!! HELP!!

You probably have a thermal problem. Try resetting the SMU and see if that helps. Since it's an iSight you can't take it apart to check for defective caps, but you can bring it in to have a tech do it for you.
Let us know how you make out,

ZEN Micro won't turn Off and now won't turn

Hi Everyone, hope you can help me out here.
I have been using my ZEN micro for about week now and it was at first working fine.
Then it started not turning off, so i had to pull out the battery.
This is obviously very annoying, but it got worse over time.
It now won't turn on unless i switch it about 30-40 times.
What is going on, is there a way to fix it and is anyone experiencing the same problem?
Thanks very much,
Fern

FernIe, I have the exact same problem, although now my Zen Micro won't turn on at all via the switch.
My Zen Micro is 5 months old and its only been over the past few weeks I've been having problems. It started with having to hold the switch in the power on position for a least 30 secs and trying it at least 5-0 times before the player would turn on, and having to remove the battery to turn it off. Now, not matter how many times I try the switch or how long i hold it for, the player won't turn on.
The battery is fully charged and I have never had problems with the headphone jack, and I haven't dropped it or done any damage to it that I think could be causing it. I'm having to turn it on by plugging it into my computer through the USB cable and then unlpugging it once its on, it's a pain doing this and means if I want to use it later I have to keep it on, muted, in my bag all day with the lock turned on (that end of the switch works) then once its turned off I can't turn it on again until I get near a computer again.
I've searched the discussions and knowledge base but haven't found an answer. I've just emailed the support team and I'm waiting for their response, would be interested to know what they've told you.
Just letting you know your not alone and I feel your pain!

When I plugged in my portable charger to my MacBook Pro, it shut off and now I can't turn it back on. What do I do?

I was launching my sims game when I plugged in my portable charger in my MacBook Pro. As soon as I plugged it in, I heard a tiny poof and next thing I know the screen turned black. I held down the power button like I normally would and it wouldn't work. when I plug in the charger, there is a faint green light. Please help anybody. Thank you for your time.

Something broke I'm afraid. Take it (and the charger) to an Apple Store, leave it unplugged.

Computer just turned off and now won't turn back on!!

I have an IQ770 Touchsmart and while I was out of the room, it turned itself off. Now it won't even turn back on!!! I've unplugged and replugged and it won't do anything. What could have caused it? There was no power interruption, it's plugged into a power surge protector, my other desktop is working fine. I've been working on it all day, and now it's dead! What do I do? Can anyone help me?
Thanks!!!

Ok, I've tried to plug it back in, and when the plug reaches a certain point, it pops sorta. Which tells me that it's the psu unit that's gone. This puter is only 2 years old. I've already had to send it in for a complete hard disk die, now this. It's a Touchsmart IQ770. Yes, made the mistake of getting one of the first ones. Not only that, it's Vista all the way. So, this computer is screwed both ways all the way. When it works, it's wonderful, but since it only works half the time, it's definitely not worth the money, time, headaches or worry that it entails to have. It's an expensive piece of @#*(!!!!) I do want to thank the people who tried to help me, sorta. Just put this into the next inquiry of the IQ770, It sucks!!!! Big green donkey dicks!!! Vista made it worse!!!

Battery was low. comp shut off and now won't turn onn

My Macbook had a low battery, I closed the cover, plugged in the AC and the light on the AC adapter won't come on. Computer won't turn on.
Sounds like alot of peeps have power issues.
Please help

Hi Mark!
So to clarify the steps performed...
1. You've reset the SMC (unsuccessful)
2. You're unable to power the machine with just battery and no A/C
3. You're unable to power the machine with battery and A/C
4. You're unable to power the machine with just A/C and no battery
If all four of those above scenarios are true, then it's fairly safe to assume there's a power issue either with the inverter inside the machine or a combination of the power flow that occurs between wall - MagSafe - battery - machine.
Unfortunately, there's no way to "reset" the power adapter. You can however try a different outlet somewhere else in your current location or somewhere totally different. If you're not hooking up directly to a surge protector you could possibly have "dirty power" which can cause power issues.
What is the warranty status on your machine? Is it covered by the one-year limited? Or did you purchase AppleCare and are you within the 3-year term? This definitely sounds like it could end up in a service call.

MY iPhone turned off and now won't turn back on

so at first it would keep showing me to slide to show down or cancel
then would keep turning the light on
the it turned off and wont turn back on
i tried (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears) and non is happening ? any ideas

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

My iphone 4 screen just turned off and now won't turn back on

The only way to get it back is a hard reset or let the battery die and then plug in the charger. The brightness is up and the power stays on while screen is black.
This is the second macbook pro i have owned in the past two weeks. I am ready to return it for good if this is a chronic issue. Please help if you have had this same issue.

Try a SMC reset:

If no joy, take it back, and take full advantage of your warranty!

MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on.

MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on. Battery had 41% just before this happened and green indicator on power cord is showing, so it seems like it's charging. What should I do?

The led on the power adapter should be amber if it is charging. Green just indicates that it is supplying power to the MBP.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
It looks like your NVIDIA graphic is damaged. If you need your computer now, you can fix the computer downloading gfxCardStatus and selecting the option to use only the integrated graphic, so that kernel panic won't appear anymore. Note that you won't be able to use the NVIDIA graphic, so the graphic performance may be worse than with this graphic.
Of course, that's a temporary fix, because you should take the computer to an Apple Store as soon as possible to get the Mac repaired. As the NVIDIA graphic is not soldered, the repair won't be expensive

My MacBook Pro shut itself down and now it won't turn back on and the power light keeps flashing a green and amber but very dull. Help please!

My MacBook Pro shut itself down and now it won't turn back on and the power light keeps flashing the amber light. I don't know what to do, and this has never happened before.

Hello Toby135
Reset the SMC or System Management Controller to resolve issues with the power on your MacBook Pro and power adapter.
