My macbook pro will turn on but screen stays black.

My macbook pro will turn on but screen stays black. There is no sound on start up and keys dont light up. I have done all the resets:
I disconnected the computer from the power cord, and from all other cables.
I held down the power button for several seconds to turn off the computer.
I let it sit 5 minutes.
I restarted the laptop while holding down the Shift key and nothing happened.
Holding down Command, Option, P, and R to reset your PRAM and NVRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379The only thing I haven’t tried is “floating” the computer. I’m not ready to heat it up to the melting point.
I need lots of help!!! any ideas? Its a MacBook Pro 15” or 17.5” about 5 years old. Its about 2 updates behind (OS: Snow Leopard)

Zane W is giving you good advice. Take it to an Apple store genius bar and have them examine it for free. You then will know what the issues are and then can make informed decisions.
Ciao.

Make a PRAM reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Also, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If they don't work, that may be a display or GPU issue. Take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller. If you want to know which is the part, connect an external display

My macbook pro will turn on but will not start up.

My macbook pro ['08 Silver keys] will turn on but will not start up. Screen is black and keyboard is unresponsive, besides power button. Help!

ugh, no chime is not good, as that means it is not getting past the firmware POST phase. Is the sleep light blinking fast?
One thing to try is to access the RAM slots, remove, then replace and reseat the RAM.

MacBook Pro will turn on, but won't go past the gray screen.

Earlier today, my MacBook Pro took a small tumble to the ground. I did not shut off, but it was working a bit slower. I decided to do a restart on it and now it will turn on, I can hear the CD drive is still operational, but it gets to the gray screen with the Apple logo and the spinner at the bottom and sits there. Any suggestions or thoughts?

Use Target Disk Mode:

You will need a Firewire cable.
Another option is to extract the HDD from the MBP, place in an enclosure and then connect it to the iMac.
Ciao.

My MacBook Pro will turn on but goes to the logo and loads.. But after loading it won't turn on

I clicked to turn my MacBook on.. It goes to the apple logo and loads like it's going to turn on afterwards. But then, the logo just sits there for hours. What exactly is wrong and how can I fix this???

It's hard to offer troubleshooting suggestions other than the basics when the OS system is unknown. Each OS has it's own troubleshooting and/or diagnostics.
Check out the following KB Article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159 Mac OS X versions (builds) for computers
==============
It would help us to know which comp model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.
This will help in providing you with the proper and/or correct solutions.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power

My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power it's as if the unit is completely dead. Even with the mains plugged in there is no green or orange light to say its charging or full charged. The battery was fully charged anyway seconds before the screen went off.

When you say no green or orange light are you refering to the little led on the magsafe connector? That could mean either the charger/cable are bad or the circuitry in the MBP is faulty. Since this is a brand new MBP best bet is to take it back to an Apple Retail store and have the genius bar staff take a look. They can determine if it needs to be reparired or replaced.

My speedlite 600 ex-rt will turn on but it won't fire. Any suggestions?

My speedlite 600 ex-rt flash will turn on but it won't fire. The batteries work and were fully charged so that was not the problem. It also reads that it is ready to fire but no flash. It's about 1 year old, Is the flash worn out already or can it be fixed?

Does the test button turn red (I still have no idea why red means ready and green means it's still charging)? Does it fire a test flash when you push it? In answer to your question, no, the flash shouldn't be burned out yet, not even close. Though, if it doesn't fire a test flash then something is wrong. I know there have been reports of some issues with rechargeables. So much so that Canon actually contraindicated them in the labeling. It's nonsense, but still, try fresh alkalines if the test flash isn't working just to be sure.

I just installed Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro and enabled dictation. It won't let me edit Google Docs with it. Any suggestions?

It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

HT201177 Macbook Pro is turned on but the screen is black.

Ok, I have read A LOT of discussions on this issue but it seems like nothing works.
I bought my Macbook Pro 13" in September 2012 (so i've had it for a little over a year) in the States. So, I was just using the laptop a couple nights ago, then I closed the lid to the Sleep mode. Then, yesterday morning, I plugged in the charger and unplugged it after the batter's full (showed the green light). Later on that day in the afternoon, I opened the lid to wake up the laptop...but the SCREEN wouldn't display.... It has remained BLACK .... I KNOW the mac is still working..cuz when I turn it on the Caps Lock button shows green light and the sleeping light at the front is working...
I don't think it's RAM problem...cuz I did that Option-Comman-P-R thingy..and held it until I heard the third startup chime... (I held those keys at the SAME time...WAS I SUPPOSED TO press them one by one??)
Last method I used was the SAFE mode...and now the VOLUME buttons and the keyboard light buttons Dont work now.....
PLEASE HELP!!! THANK YOUUUU!!!

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
