My macbook will not turn on, the charger blinks between green and orange and the charge indicator on the side shows no light. HELP nothing happened just stopped working out of the blue

I don't know why but my computer will not turn on! Less than 6 months old!

If you have access to an Apple Store or other authorized Apple specialist with service department, you could take the computer in for diagnosis and repair under the AppleCare plan. Or the complementary coverage that comes with the computer if you did not buy the extended plan to add a few more years on the basic one. With the basic plan, you have 90-days support; if you bought the AppleCare extended plan, you have a total of three years support and service. Within the first year (from day of original purchase) you can buy the extended plan. Without it, a fee may be charged to test the computer. Or if there is an Apple Store with Genius bar, you could arrange to get an appointment there, and there should be no charge (in USA) to diagnose the problem.
You can get started online, by visiting Apple Support:
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
Not sure what is wrong with the computer, but an expert could tell.
Also if you have an Apple Store nearby (or within reasonable distance) you could call ahead to set an appointment to talk to a Genius, and have them look into the issue(s) the computer may have. One determined to need repair under AppleCare can be handed off, there.
Did you have a backup method in place to save your work off the computer, such as TimeMachine and external hard drive? I mention this because a computer going into the shop for possible repair may lose its content, and the hard drive or other parts may have failed, so your saved stuff in there could be lost.
Hopefully they can get the problem solved.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • Macbook will not turn on or charge!!! HELP!!!

    I have had this Macbook for only three months. Lastnight I turned it on and it all of a sudden said something about a HUB device is drawing to much power and is deactivating. I had nothing but my power adapter hooked up to it. Then it shut off. And now I can't turn it on. My adapter will not charge it but my battery is three lights charged. Whats going on??????

    try to reset the power management system:

    if that doesn't work, try removing the battery and
    then plugging it in to see if it will boot off wall
    power. if so, it may be a faulty battery.
    good luck!
    I just updated the software on my macbook with that link under the apple-about this mac tab... after it installed all the software it said something about quitting all applications, shutting down the computer and holding the power button until the light flashes repeatedly. Well I did that and now the computer wont even start and the CD slot keeps on ejecting the disc.... over and over again. I dont want it to damage itself so I just held the power button until it stopped and the light on the front turned off. I feel like punching the computer!
    I also tried the above reset and that didn't work. Now I just have a very large and expensive paper weight.
    Does anyone know what the ** happened?!
    Thanks!

  • My MacBook will not turn on unless it's connected to a charger. However, when it's on and charging, it says that it has 0% battery life despite the green light on the charger. How can I fix this?

    Your battery has reached the end of its life. If you have a MacBook with the removable battery you can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay.

  • My macbook will not turn on. Related to using wrong charger?

    I used my macbook charger to charge a mac book pro and now my macbook will not turn on. The green light shows on the charger but it will not turn on. I am not sure it is related but what should I do?

    Using one charger on another mac won't harm anything.

  • "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. The Server does not support this version of iTunes." Any thoughts? Also, iPod will not turn or or charge (tried in my laptop, house computer and dock) I have all the lastest updates to my knowledge

    "iPod software update server could not be contacted. The Server does not support this version of iTunes." iPod will not turn on or charge or reset settings. I tried plugging it in my laptop, house computer and docking station to charge and nothing. Also, I have all the latest software updates to my knowledge. This is a classic 8GB iPod, running of Windows 7. Any thoughts/suggestions?

    only thing that seems to work so far is syncing without photos and also check here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3206849?start=30&tstart=0

  • My IPad will not turn on, despite charging all night and all day. The Apple pops up then goes away. What is wrong and how can I fix it?

    My IPad will not turn on despite charging all night and all day.  The Apple pops on but then shuts off again.  It does this over and over. How can I fix this and get it up and running again?

    Hey bellabeanbag,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines troubleshooting steps if your iPad is not responding:
    iPad: Basic troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3274
    If iPad won't turn on, or the display stops responding
    Follow these steps, testing after each:
    1. Turn the iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Reset iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If iPad still won't respond after you restore it
    Follow these steps, testing after each:
    1. If you receive an alert in iTunes while restoring your iPad, refer to this article for instructions on how to resolve common issues with updating and restoring.
    2. If you cannot restore your iPad in iTunes, or if iTunes does not recognize the device, refer to this article for instructions on restoring using recovery mode.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • The fan on my macbook will not turn off

    Please help.  the fan on my macbook will not turn off.  Also, my battery is no longer showing a percentage.
    Thanks

    Hmmm.  You have done the basics.  If you open the ActivityMonitor app in the Utliities folder,  select CPU usuage in the column-  flip it so highest % is on top.  Is ther an app in that column that is spiked?  Quit that app.
    You can run the Apple Hardware Test by booting holding the D key on restart,  this may generate an error code. Not the most complete test but it is a start.
    If no AHT- Boot off your Install Disk while holding down the d key, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD.

  • My iPod touch will not turn on the screen is black?

    My iPod touch will not turn on the screen is black?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1349 my iphone will not turn on or charge?

    my iphone will not turn on or charge it is the 4s and only 2 months old

    The same when connected to the power adaptor?
    Do you have access to another USB dock connector cable to rule out a problem with the existing cable you are using?
    If not and you are in the U.S. or in any country where AppleCare is available and/or an Apple store, you can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.
