My MacBookPro completely dead, won't start, nothing.

Hi, Just had Yosemite uploaded in Western Computers, it was working in the shop, walked home and now nothing, completely dead. Took it back, they said there is a fault with mid range Mac Book Pros. I bought this in May 2012. Western Computers say it will take 7-10 days before it can be seen. I can't wait that long. Any ideas very gratefully received! Thanks

Hi salbags,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know situations where your computer will not turn on can be both frustrating and concerning. In this case I would recommend reading over and using the troubleshooting steps provided in the attached article.

Hi, I had the same problem with my iPhone that I got in Jan
I sent it back to the company. The company stated that it had water damage. When I asked for it to be repaired they then stated that it had been misused and therefor not covered by warranty and would not repair the phone. I was wondering if any one else out there has dealt with discreprant reports from the apple repair and how to deal with them. The battery on my phone stopped holding a charge and I watched it go dead. Does anyone know how I can be offered the same service that was offered to me when I purchased the phone being a 1 year warranty? I am being denied a replacement.

When I remove the battery charger my computer shuts down completely and won't start until I plug the charger back in

When I remove the battery charger the computer completely shuts down and won't start up without the battery charger. I have to restart all my windows when I turn it back on. Before it would just go to sleep and if it was charged it would come back on without batter. Any suggestions on what this can be?

A dead battery. Buy a new one.

Z10 dead won't start up

My z10 won't start up when u plug into charger red light comes on for 20 sec and goes out. if i hold down power button it blinks twice after 10 sec and then goes out at 20 sec. my computer will not reconize it at all. have pulled battery and put in charged it for days. nothing works is the some one out there that can help?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I cannot tell, from your post, if you have exactly followed this. Therefore, please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!

Nano 1 gb completely dead won't charge

Nano battery ran down...tried to charge today via usb cable; apple logo appeared and disappeared lots of times then nothing. Tried to reset more than 5 times and nothing - just dead. I know usb cable works because I can charge another ipod fine. Any suggestions?
pc Windows XP

If your ipod is still in warranty contact applecare and see about getting a replacement. They won't send a new battery and expect you to install it, they would replace the whole ipod (unless of course there is accidental damage to it.)
I wouldn't advise trying to replace a nano battery on your own.

Tomcat6 dead/won't start after online update

Running OES11 fully patched. After a recent online update, tomcat6 will not start. I've attached a catalina log file for review but I'm not a tomcat6 expert by any means. Just hoping someone out there can look at the attached and let me know how to fix it! I've looked at all the server.xml files I can find (three total in different locations: /etc/tomcat6, /usr/share/novell-tomcat6/conf and /var/opt/novell/tomcat6/conf) and don't see anything "off" on line 90 col 9. Please help if you can!

Is this OES11 SP1 or SP2?

It sounds like a ! is missing in one of the comment lines..?
Besides OES services, are there any other applications/services installed that might cause a configuration conflict?
Cheers,

Woke up and my phone was completely dead. Won't turn on, no charging, nothing at all. Thought maybe some kind of water damage because it was on my windowsill, but neither of the water detectors have turned a color. Help?

No that’s probably what I’ll do. I'm thinking the guys at the apple store can only do basic technical support since most of them are sales people that don't know how to physically repair phones. It seems kinda silly that, as fine as a product the iPhone is, when something like this happens they just tell you to replace the entire device without doing any proper diagnostic. If it was any other phone you could simply take it to a cell phone repair shop and they'll usually fix it. It’s almost as though Apple assumes their products will never fail so that when they do, the only solution is to replace the entire device at a cost higher then it would be if it was just a simple fix. So hopefully the local cell repair shop can do something instead of having to replace the entire phone. I'll accept the fact if I have to replace it after taking it to a few places and having some real technicians look at it, instead of a 5 minute trial and error diagnostic done by a sales associate at the apple store being quick to tell me that the phone is useless and has to be replace for several hundreds of dollars.

MAC BOOK PRO WILL NOT START- COMPLETELY DEAD!

I forgot to power down my mac book pro last night. I closed the lid & forgot to go back & turn it off completely. This morning it will not power up. The machine is completely dead.
The power supply wasn't connected overnight so I assume the battery has completely drained. It's been charging for the last 2 hours (which would normally have fully charged it) but the light on the power cord is still showing green so I assume it's still charging, however there should be plenty of juice in the battery to start the computer but it still won't start.
Any ideas how to get it started?

A dead battery will take longer to start charging, but leave it on and eventually it will start to charge again.
Once you get it charged, perform a SMC and PRAM reset

If it is an Apple Retail store they pretty much have the ability to complete the steps in that article (although there may be a charge if you are not covered in warranty but they'll tell you).
If repairing the drive does not resolve the issue and a reinstall is needed you may wish to wait until you are home rather than completing at the store as that process 1.) Really requires a backup of your important data for safe keeping which takes time so should be done at home and 2.) Takes 30-45 minutes minimum. You may not want to have to hang around the store while it reinstalls.
Best of luck.

When I updated to ios 5.0.1 my battery was half way full and it was charging. It started to install it and now it is completely dead (with the lightning bolt) and when i try to turn it on, i have a white screen. HELP

I have a ipod touch 4g, i just updated to ios 5.0.1 today. At the time, my battery was half way full so i had it charging. It started to install, i'm not sure if it actually did or not, but it turned off and started loading like if it were a new ipod, or like when you install new software. then the screen went blank and it restarted. it says its completely dead now but if i click the home button it turns on but goes straight to a white screen.

- If the screen remains white, let the battery fully. After charging for an hour, try a reset:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
And restore as necessary,
- If it is off try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.

My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.
Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick. I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally. I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again. I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time. Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black. I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
Hope this helps someone else!

I updated my 4s to ios7 and the phone is now completly dead. I tried to restore it with the new itunes but it won't restore. If you can't get the download be glad! Anyone have any ideas other than going out and buying a new Samsung phone?

No not jailbroken. After the update which took about 45 minutes. The phone went black. Dead. Wouldn't restart. Using the new itunes I tried to restore it. It went through the motions; the white Apple and progress bar appeared on the iphone screen. Then I got a message "Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes." Then the phone went completly dead again. I Repeated the process and got the same results. Is there another way to restore the phone if it's dead, besides itunes?
