Shuts down and can't turn on when on battery

Hey folks!
My first gen Macbook (2006) will automatically shut down if I unplug the power cord. It will not turn on without the cord either. It will even shut down when plugged, although this only happened once or twice. It does not seem to happen when the laptop is too hot or when any particular operation is being made.
I also saw the battery icon alternating between "charging" and "full" even though the battery was obviously full. Not sure this is related, though.
My battery infos seem normal, here they are (sorry for the French, hope you can compare):
Fabricant : DP
Nom de l’appareil : : ASMB013
Pack Lot Code : 0001
PCB Lot Code : 0000
Version du programme interne : 0102
Révision du matériel : 0300
Révision de pile : 0100
Informations sur la charge :
Charge restante (mAh) : 4027
Charge complète : Oui
En cours de chargement : Non
Capacité de charge complète (mAh) : 4072
Informations sur la santé :
Comptage de cycles : 350
Conditions : Normale
Batterie installée : Oui
Intensité de courant (mA) : 0
Tension (mV) : 12497
I took those infos right now, while plugged, obviously, since the machine does not want to work otherwise!
Since I have had this problem for a couple of weeks already, I did a reboot, I disconnected everything, removed the battery and did a SMC, as suggested in different topics I found in the forum.
MY QUESTION :
Is there anything else I can try before to go to the retailer? In other words, any other free possible solution?
Since I have a 2006, you bet the warranty is dead...
Thank y'all, please help! And enjoy the summer!

Bonjour! Though your cycle count (comptage de cycles) is a bit high and your full capacity (capacité de charge complète) is a bit low, the other information there suggests the battery should not be causing your symptoms.
The way to test it would be to try a known-good battery to see if your Mac works with it. It is possible your local retailer or Apple service center will test it for you; give them a call and see.

    I was charging and updating my mini ipad last night when it suddenly shut down and will not turn on since then. What do I do to turn it on again?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • My Ipad2 just shuts down and will not turn on. Rebooting does not help. He switched on when I start charging it. In this case, the battery is charged.

    My Ipad2 just shuts down and will not turn on. Rebooting does not help. He switched on when I start charging it. In this case, the battery is charged.

    Standard troubleshooting steps in the following order:
    1. Reset: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the apple logo, then release. Ignore the slide to power off.
    If no change, continue:
    2. Restore your phone from a backup, note: if the problem is related to corrupt data, while this will restore a fresh OS, it will also restore the problem.
    If no change, continue:
    3. Restore as a "new" phone in itunes & re-sync your content. All saved data will be lost.
    If no change, make an appointment at an Apple store.

  • My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again.What should i do?

    My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again. I tried charging it and do it again...When i charge it , it opens the " Connect to iTunes" , when i switch to the computer to connect it , it doesn't work... It starts to the apple screen , and then just shuts down again. I tried holding the home and sleep/wake button at the same time..I tried everything. What should i do?

    Your iPhone is going back and forth between recovery mode and powering on which is really strange.
    Have you tried a hardware reset while its connected to your computer? This will force it back into recovery mode so that you can restore it. If restoring and setting up as new doesn't help, go ahead and take it to an Apple Store for a replacement

  • IPhone 5 shut down and won't turn back on

    My phones screen turned a blue/greenish color and shut down and will not turn back on :(

    I'm having the same issue with my iPhone5.  It just started yesterday afternoon.  The "hard reset" as you suggested worked once.  However, it shut down again only one hour later.  It didn't turn on (even with the hard reset) for three hours when the hard reset worked again.  I hooked it up to iTunes and restored my phone and thought that it would fix the issue.  But after being on for about two hours, my screen got vertical lines then turned green and shut off again.  I haven't been able to turn it back on no matter what I do all night and all day today.
    It doesn't matter that the phone is plugged in or have 100% battery power.  It just won't turn on again.
    I have an appointment at my local Apple Genuis Bar, but I'm not sure what they can do as I'm not sure if this is a software or a hardware issue.

  • My late 2011 15 inch mbp screen shuts down and don't turn on

    My late 2011 15 inch mbp screen shuts down and don't turn on. Sometimes goes down after it gets in the sleep mode but another times it goes down when i'm working on it. The battery lights and the magsafe light still work but the screen doesn't respond, i have to shut down the computer and only after a couple of tries to turn it on i the screen wakes up. Also, sometimes when i turn it on the screen gets fragmented, like in the image. Does anyone have any solution? thanks.

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

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

    Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

    Hello Tammy 78,
    It sounds like your phone will not power on after it turned itself off unexpectedly. I would use this section of the following article to help you resolve the issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling
