My macbook wont turn on help!!??

My MacBook pro shuts down in the middle of me using and went black and when I hit the power button it went to restart but then died again mu mac isn't even a year yet. What can I do?!?!?

Try my steps:
What to do if your Mac won’t power on
First, try plugging in your Mac to allow the battery to charge. If it is not a portable Apple computer, skip this step. Wait a few minutes, and then try powering on the computer.
Next, try resetting your SMC.
Resetting the SMC of an Intel-based portable Mac with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: This will not delete any data.
The SMC is responsible for controlling various system functions. None of your data will be deleted by resetting the SMC.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
Release the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
Then, try resetting your PRAM.
Resetting the NVRAM/PRAM
Note: This will not delete any data.
The NVRAM/PRAM stores information such as speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and recent kernel panic information (if any). You should reset the NVRAM/PRAM if you experience issues relating to these functions.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
Turn on the computer by pressing the Power Button.
On the built-in keyboard, press and hold the Command (⌘), Option (⌥), P, and R keys before the gray screen appears.
Continue to hold down the keys until the computer restarts and you hear the startup chime for the second time.
Release the keys on the built-in keyboard.
Then, try repairing the disk permissions using Disk Utility.
Repairing a disk’s permissions using Disk Utility on the Recovery HD.
Note: This should not delete any information or files from the disk.
Repairing a disk's permissions can help solve various file-related issues.
To begin, make sure your external disk that you are repairing is connected to the computer. If you are repairing an internal disk, skip this step.
Make sure the computer is powered off before continuing.
Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
Press and hold both the R and Command (⌘) keys on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads. If this does not work, shut down the computer, press the Power Button to turn on the computer, and then hold in the Alt (⌥) button immediately after you press the power button. Then, select the Recovery HD partition to boot up in the Recovery HD partition.
Select Disk Utility.
Once you are in the Disk Utility app, select the external drive from the sidebar on the left.
Then, choose the Repair Disk Permissions button on the right.
If this does not solve your issues, you may have no choice but to reformat the drive using Disk Utility.
If that does not work, try reinstalling OS X but not erasing.
Reinstall OS X
Note: This will not erase any data on the disk. However, it is highly recommended that you create a backup before continuing.
Reinstalling OS X can solve various problems such as corrupt system files.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
Press and hold both the R and Command (⌘) keys on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads.
Select Reinstall OS X and then choose Continue.
Follow the instructions.
Then, try erasing and reinstalling OS X.
Erase and Reinstall OS X
Note: This will delete all data on the disk. Back up important files before continuing.
Erasing and then reinstalling OS X can give you a fresh start, making your computer exactly as it was whenever you received it from Apple. This can solve various problems such as corrupt system files.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
Press and hold both the R and Command (⌘) keys on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads. If this does not work, shut down the computer, press the Power Button to turn on the computer, and then hold in the Alt (⌥) button immediately after you press the power button. Then, select the Recovery HD partition to boot up in the Recovery HD partition.
Select Disk Utility and then choose Continue.
Select your startup disk (Macintosh HD by default) from the left.
Select the Erase tab.
Choose the Format pop-up menu and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled), enter a name for your disk, and then click Erase.
After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
Select Reinstall OS X and then choose Continue.
Follow the instructions.
I hope I helped.

    If that has no effect, then your only recourse is to take your machine to your local Apple Store/AASP and have them run diagnostics on the machine.

  • MACBOOK WONT TURN ON!! PLEASE HELP!

    MacBook which is supplied through my school and wont turn on at all, it justs shows the grey screen and the beachball spinning around for hours. It is and was fully charged. I took it to the IT guys and they said it can not be backed up at all due to it not turning on, but I heard they can take the main "motherboard" out and display it on another screen so that I can then back up all my photos and music? ALL photos from overseas and from the last TWO years are on there and I need it to be backed up!! Any suggestions on what I can do or WHERE I can take it? I live in Australia.

    See this Apple note on steps to take when faced with a grey screen on boot.
    Taking the logic board out to hook up to another system has nothing to do with the data stored on your hard drive.  It's possible they were talking about removing the hard drive to hook up to another system.
    After you get past this issue, consider buying an external hard drive and backing up your system on a regular basis. 

  • My macbook wont boot up :-( HELP!!!!

    Hi
    HELP!!! My macbook wont boot up.
    I was deleting some files off my system last night, Id put them in the trash and deleted them (there was quite alot!!) and the screen gradually went black and told me i needed to restart my computer by holding down the power key.
    I tried doingt this but it wouldn't restart.
    I left it a while and tried powering up, it seems to turn over once but the chimes dont kick in and nothing happens, the little light (is it the sleep light?) does come on but nothing else.
    I really really hope someone can help!

    Since you are still using Panther, try booting from your System Install DVD. Try running the +repair disk+ & repair permission options.
    See Article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301287 My computer stops responding during startup
    If you have AppleCare, suggest that you contact them.

  • Macbook wont turn off completely!!!!!

    If I close the screen the light indicator is still on. I try to turn it on again it wont turn. Then I press the power button for a few seconds, the system starts but and error message "THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN CLOSE UNEXPECTEDLY" (el sistema se ha cerrado inesperadamente).
    Whats wrong? is a batery problem?
    Do I have to reinstal leopard?
    Please help!!!

    I have the same problem. It doesn't matter if the power is plugged in or not. Please help me decide if it's a software bug or a hardware issue. This crash happens eveytime I try to turn off the computer.

  • BB 8120 WONT TURN ON - HELP

    Had it since october 09, was listening to music then all of a sudden it turned off wont turn back on, I recently had it unlocked but its been working fine until now, Please help me

    Start by doing a battery pull.  Simply remove the battery for 15-30 seconds, then reinsert it and wait for the device to reboot.  That may help, but it may not.  If it doesn't, then the next step is to ensure that the battery simply isn't dead.  In that case, plug it into the BlackBerry wall charger for a couple of hours and then see if that helps.  Note that in this case, if  the battery is dead, charging via the USB cable, a car adapter or a non-OEM charger may not work, so it would be best to use the actual wall charger.
    If none of those help, then let us know and we can try to take things a little further.

  • My ipod touch 5th generation wont charge or turn on at all, at first i though the lightning cable was the problem so i bought 2 more lightning chargers and the only thing my ipod does it gets really hot but wont turn on :( help!!

    My ipod touch 5th generation wont charge or turn on at all,
    i upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 and after that my ipod started having trouble charging, at first i though the lightning cable was the problem so i bought 2 more lightning cable chargers and my ipod still would'nt charge, so it died. now the only thing my ipod does is when i try to turn it on it shows the apple logo and then the screen goes off and does it again for a few times and then the screen stays off and my ipod gets really hot but wont turn on for the rest of the day help!!

    The hotness indicate a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    or send it to Apple.

    If not abused Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one at no coast. otherwise the exchange price is $149.

  • Playbook wouldn't charge, and now wont turn on, HELP?

     So yesterday, I tried to charge my playbook, but it wouldn't work. Its not brand new, but its not old either, I have had it for a month maybe? I used the charger that came with it, and I tried using the USB too. Neither worked. I tried my charger on my friends playbook (same kind, we bought them together), and it worked, so I know its not that. I tried leaving it over night, still nothing. Now it wont turn on either, the little button thingy (pardon my non-technical terms) at the top just turns red, then flashes yellow/green five times. Any suggestions are welcomed, please and thank you! 

    Try a hard reset with it plugged in...press and hold the power and volume +&- until the device restarts...worked for me.
