My mid 2009, 17inch Macbook Pro will not switch on unless it is physically hot. I have to heat it up with a hairdryer to switch it on.

Hey guys, my macbook doesn't switch on unless it is physically hot. I use a hairdryer to do this (I know it's bad but i have no other option, i'm not looking for a lecture on why it's bad to do this.)
Once it is hot it still takes a long time to boot up because it will seemingly short-out (instantly shut down with blank screen) whilst booting up quite a lot, and at random times.
Resetting the pram and smc seems to help sometimes, but it's hard to judge as the success of the bootup seems totally random.
Once Ive got past the login screen and it finally boots up it will run fine, other than a few strange bugs that I have experienced;
- If I highlight a video file and do a quick preview (pressing spacebar), the laptop shorts out and shuts down
- If I try to record video using the webcam, its shorts out and shuts down (Using webcam on skype is fine)
- An email i received once had an automatic video playing, which resulted in the laptop doing the same as above
I'm assuming it's a graphics related issue but I'm no expert, video games run fine on it though.
If anyone has any idea as to what the problem/solution could be, please let me know!
Haven't found a single post online that relates to this problem..
Macbook Pro 17inch mid 2009
2.8ghz intel core 2 duo
4gb 1067 MHz DDR3
500gb HD
Nvidia GeForce 9400M 256MB
OS X 10.9.4
Thanks

Thanks a lot for the reply mate, much appreciated
Yup its very weird haha
I do hourly backups with time machine.
Havent tried reinstalling OS. Not sure how possible it is because of the booting issue, it's hard to restart without it shorting out.
Not taken it to anyone just yet.
Here's what entre gave me;

  • Mid-2009 Macbook Pro will not turn on

    Hi Folks,
    so my mid-2009 15in Macbook Pro will not turn on. I updated the OS to Mavericks in December 2013. I'm from California, but I recently moved to the Guam/Marianas area where it is more humid and generally around 87 degrees F all day. For the past month my computer has worked fine, albeit I did notice the fan was running a little more than usual. I usually would just put it into sleep mode when I would finish using it (apparently a bad idea based off of reading other posts concerning humidity and, more importantly, heat). One day I finished using it, closed it and the next day went to open it; I could hear the fans start to work, but then it stopped. It hasn't turned on since. You press the power button and nothing happens. I tried all the troubleshooting stuff.
    So, my question is this: what do you think is the problem? Moreover, how much do you think it could cost to repair it? My experience with computers suggests to me that it's probably a dead motherboard. I'm wondering if it's worth trying to salvage this thing or if it would be prohibitively expensive. There are no Apple stores in the area to take it in to get advice unfortunately.
    Now, I just want to vent a little frustration. I have many apple products, and I've even switched my mother over to an apple computer, but now that I need some very basic support, apple doesn't provide a contact e-mail or a free chat? I think charging someone $19 for 'one time assistance' is ludicrous. I bet if I brought this into an apple store I could at least get some advice, and thus get some idea how I want to proceed with repairs or not. I suppose I'm also rather frustrated that my macbook, which I have been most happy with all these years, breaks because I go somewhere a little more humid and generally warmer? It would appear that the hardware failure is connected to the climate. This makes me skeptical about purchasing another mac if it can't handle a little humidity. (I have not spilled liquids on it, nor have used this computer while transitioning from an air-conditioned/humid location which could potentially cause condensation). I do not think I'm being unreasonable (yes I do think a $2500 computer should not fail after less than 5 years), but if you think I am unreasonable, please enlighten me.
    Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it.
    Ken

    Ken,
    the “Important Handling Information” in the little white manual that came in the box with your MacBook Pro states that its operating temperature range is from 50 °F to 95 °F (10 °C to 35 °C), and that its operating range of relative humidity is 5% to 90% (non-condensing). If your corner of the Pacific is outside of these ranges, the manual states that “Failure to follow these handling instructions could result in damage to your MacBook Pro”.
    I have no idea what problem your MacBook Pro has; since you’ve tried all of the troubleshooting stuff, you’ll need to somehow get your MacBook Pro to a qualified service facility to diagnose the problem. If the logic board does need to be replaced, it would probably cost hundreds of dollars for a replacement, and you might find that purchasing a replacement used MacBook Pro of the same model to be price-competitive with just replacing your MacBook Pro’s logic board.
    If you find Apple’s out-of-warranty policies unacceptable, then your only alternative to venting would be to purchase your next computer from a different company which has out-of-warranty policies more to your taste.

  • My MacBook pro will not connect to the Internet through wifi yet all other devices do

    My MacBook pro will not connect to the Internet through wifi. I have several other wifi enabled devices and they are all connected to the Internet just fine... What could/would cause this?

    Disable your AirPort and enable in a second. Or check, maybe you need to type in correct digits in; Settings/Network/Advanced/Configure...

  • HT1379 My Macbook Pro will not start at all. I automatically get the Apple Icon and a pinwheel that keeps clocking. How do I fix?

    If anyone can assist with why my Macbook Pro will not pass the first screen, please respond. I have been getting the spinning pinwheel for a few days and cannot lg on now. In recent days I deleted some files and thought that would help the computer move a little faster but now it will not sllow me to access my account. Any suggestions on how to get pass the initial screen?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro will not stay off or asleep

    Hi,
    I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro will not stay turned off when I tell it to shut down.  It will shut down just fine, but a few seconds later it will boot up again.  This also happens when I try to close the lid (or just put it to sleep), it will work fine, screen/Apple logo on the back will turn off and the status LED will slowly pulse.  However a few seconds later, the LED stops pulsing and the Apple logo will illuminate.  If I open the lid I will be greeted with the log in page with zero delay (i.e. its been displaying for a while).
    This has become problematic because the computer always be running.  If I put it in my laptop bag the computer will get hot as ****. The only way to get it to really turn off is to let the battery die or remove the battery.  But this computer does not have the externally removable battery so that is not a trivial process.
    The symptoms exist in both Mac OS (Mountain Lion and Maveriks) and Windows 8/8.1.  This makes me believe its something in the hardware (or at least a setting in the hardware), not software (I know Apple doesn't care what Windows does, but it is exibiting identical behavior).
    I have reset the NVRAM and the SMC with no luck.  When I reset the SMC I didn't get a good indication that anything happened though, and was wondering if that is normal.  Resetting the NVRAM results in another restart, while its hard to tell if you actually reset the SMC.  I reset the SMC by turning the computer off, then holding the power button when it tries to restart (this usually gives me a few minutes where the computer will actually stay off), then pressing shift, control, option and power at the same time and releasing them at the same time.  This is how the Apple documentation said to do it.  They did not mention how long the must be held though so I presume that doesn't matter.
    Anyone experience this/have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • My Mid 2010 MacBook Pro will not boot

    My Mid 2010 MacBook Pro will not boot regularly, in safe mode, in recovery mode or from original OS DVD. Is this the logic board?
    I've tried resetting the SMC and pram numerous times and even tried switching out hdd's to try and do a clean install on a new hdd.
    If I attempt to boot regularly or from recovery drive the grey apple logo appears for a period before the screen goes black and the power LED operates as though in 'sleep' mode. I'm unable to wake it from this state and the same applies to booting in safe mode.
    When attempting to boot from the OS DVD that was originally packed with the computer it just freezes on the language select option, this occurs with the other hdd's I have attempted to use.
    Any other suggestions to get it working? I fear the logic board has gone and that the repair won't be worth the money.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi JRC8.8,
    It sounds like you have been on the right track in trying to troubleshoot this issue. You may want to see if your MacBook Pro will boot directly to the Apple Hardware Test, as outlined in the following article:

  • Mid 2009 13" Macbook Pro Battery died

    Hello,
    I was ready to have my MacBook Pro formatted when I realized that it would not change and it now works with the power cord when connected.
    How do I know which model/Part number it is? or the information that I need to purchase the battery. I am not currently in the states and I will have to purchase it online. Any recommendations?
    It's a Mid 2009 13" MacBook Pro
    Thank you in advance!

    it now ONLY works with the power cord, when connected of course...

  • Mid 2009 13" MacBook Pro wont boot up.

    The apple store replaced the cable that went to my hard drive on my mid 2009 13" MacBook Pro.  The hard drive still will not boot so they told me to remove it put it in a box and connect it to another computer and save the files.  I have done that and connected it to my father's MacBook Pro.  I can find the external drive but I don't know what to do next. 
    My goal is to save the files on his computer then reinstall the hard drive in my computer and start up in restore mode.  Next I will reformat the drive and move the files I placed on my fathers Mac back to mine.
    Can anyone help me with where I can get step by step instructions to do this?
    Thanks

    I think you mean Office for Mac. In any event, the standard applications will come with the reinstall, like Mail, iTunes, etc. Anything else won't. If you have the original disks the machine came with, the iLife apps should be on there.
    I have to say this... I know you probably don't want to spend money on this, but if the data is important, the better way to handle this is to buy another hard drive. They're cheap. I can tell you how to prep the new drive if you don't know how. Then run Migration Assistant when you're done and let it try to pull over all your stuff from the old drive. Once all that is done, you can reformat your old drive and you'll have something to use for backup. You don't say how big your current drive is, but even a 1TB is well under $100 now. The reason I suggest this is because if you miss anything important on your old drive, once you format it it's gone. The way I'm suggesting, you'd be able to make sure you have all you need first.

  • Macbook Pro will not read CD's.

    My Macbook Pro will not read CD's. They have data on them, but they open up as blank CD's when I insert them into the drive. I know that they are not blank because on another Macbook Pro, they open up just fine. Some CD's will work while others will not. Why would a CD open on another Mac that is just the same?

    I am having a similar problem.
    Mine is a Mid-2009 model that I bought used on Craigslist... and now I notice the problems.
    If I insert a commercial DVD, it spits it out after about 10 seconds. If I insert a burned DVD, it asks me if I'd like to write something to it.

  • Is there a way to upgrade a mid 2009 13" Macbook Pro so that it can use a wireless n network?

    I have a mid 2009 13" macbook pro, and I live in a share house. The router we are using is very far away from my room and I do not get very good signal strength. However, my phone and ipad, which are newer, and have wireless n capability, are able to get quite good speeds on this network. I think my problem is that my computer only has a wireless a/b/g airport card. I know that it is meant to be compatible with the draft IEEE 802.11n specification but I don't think it is connecting to the network as a wireless n device.
    Is there a way for me to upgrade this card? I have seen a number of cards on ebay etc but I cannot find one that matches my needs. Alternatively, is there a way to make my computer join the network as a wireless n device?

    I am not sure swapping a wireless card is an easy exercise.. I would not recommend it.
    You can hunt up a USB wireless stick that is Mac compatible..
    Or you can buy an Apple Express and use it as a wireless bridge. There are plenty of alternative wireless bridges.. you just plug them in by ethernet and use wireless.. depending on the brand of wireless router you have.

  • 2009 Mac Book pro will not boot up. I've tried to do a disk repair it says ETF partions need repair. When I try it says unable to unmount disk. I've tried to re-install the OS and when I do that the message says unable download.

    My 2009 macbook pro will not boot up and I have tried everything to get it to work. Please help!!!!!!

    Do you have an external drive? If no, then you will need to purchase a drive so you can backup your data.
    If you have a drive that is formatted as GUID you can select to install OS X from recovery mode on the external drive. Now you can boot from that drive and make a backup of your internal drive so you can erase and reformat the drive.
    Recommended Drives
    USB 3.0 drives work on USB 2.0 but you do get 2.0 speed. They are cheaper because they are popular PC drives.  If you get a new computer you'll get the bump to 3.0 speed. I don’t recommend FW. The newer computers don’t have FW ports. You would need a connector in order to use the drive on a newer computer.
    Size:  I recommend either the 2T or 3T drives.  Often they are cheaper than a 1T drive. The 4T drives have more issues and failure rates.
    Many drives come formatted for PC but easy to format in Disk Utility. 
    This Western Digital drive has good reviews: Has a 2 yr warranty. Comes formatted for Mac but I would still format using Disk Utility.
    WD My Book Hard Drive for Mac 2 TB (WDBYCC0020HBK-NESN)  $99
    WD My Book Hard Drive for Mac 3 TB (WDBYCC0030HBK-NESN)  $119.99
    Check the warranty when comparing. The longer the warranty the better the drive. WD makes cheaper drives but with almost no warranty.
    Locally, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.

  • 2012 MacBook pro will not power up sleep light on then off

    You may have to take the MBP to the Apple store as soon as possible.

  • My Macbook Pro will not charge. I have tried other charges and nothing. Can the MagSafe port go bad? Is that expensive to repair?

    My Macbook Pro will not charge. I have tried other charges and nothing. Can the MagSafe port go bad? Is that expensive to repair?

    The port can fail. Internal boards can fail. Batteries can fail. All with the result that no charging occurs. 
    You can try Resetting the System Management Controller and you can try Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters. 
    But usually you will have to take the mac in to a service place for testing.  It can get expensive, although occasionally it is not.
