My MacBook Pro 2009 won't turn on. It suddenly won't charge and when it did I shut it down and now it won't turn back on. Charging shows green and the green little dots are showing on the side. I tried smc reset, command p r, what else?

A four year battery could be dead. I'd contact an Apple Service Center.

HT1338 my macbook pro airport won't turn on! What would be the problem?

my macbook pro airport won't turn on! What would be the problem?
I've tried to turn the airport on and it says my airport card is not installed...
it has always worked till today... bot from now on nothing seem to help the airport work...
Please help me!
Thanks

You could try deleting the airpot from the sidebar of system preferences/network. To do this,
1) export the preferences for your airport to your desktop by pressing the gear next to the plus and minus sign above the lock.
2) Delete your airport from the sidebar using the minus sign while the airport is selected.
3) After deleting the airport, apply the changes and then press the plus sign to create a new airport.
4) Then import the preferences back in and apply the changes again.
This may bring your airport back. It worked for me. Alternatively, people have been having success with changing the location of the airport.
Good Luck.

My MacBook Pro 13" won't turn on 90% of the time I try to get it running, and when it does turn on, even on a charger, it shuts down if I stop using it for 2 seconds and it won't turn back on. Should I replace the battery?

My MacBook Pro 13" won't turn on 90% of the time I try to get it running, and when it does turn on, even on a charger, it shuts down if I stop using it for 2+ seconds and it won't turn back on. Should I replace the battery? It doesn't hold a charge either...

EmadJamal,
the battery won’t melt because of long connection to the AC charger, although that has the potential of reducing the battery’s life.
Do you have access to a second 60 W AC charger to test with your MacBook Pro, or access to a second 13-inch MacBook Pro against which your AC charger could be tested?

How can I erase the data on my 2009 macbook pro that won't turn on because of a faulty motherboard? Do I just remove the hard drive, install it in a working mac, and erase it that way?

You put the internal drive in an enclosure. If you choose to keep the drive, you don't need to erase it.

Have a 2 year old macbook pro that won't turn on--logic board?

We have a 2 year old Macbook Pro that will not turn on. A computer repairman said it's probably the logic board. Does Apple warrant that or are we just out $1,700?

When you attach the power adapter, does the led light up? If so, what color?
What happens if you press the external battery check button?
Have you tried a SMC reset?

Have you had it evaluated at an Apple store genius bar or an AASP?

Macbook pro now won't recognise airport express

Hi
I have been using my macbook pro (10.5.8) and airport express together with no problems for years and suddenly my macbook is not recognising the airport. Luckily I have a macbook air in the house and there is no problems with that so I am able to access the internet and ask this question!
Just before it happened, the battery on my macbook pro had run down as it was left unplugged - could this be why? And does anyone know how to fix it? I have restarted the computer twice but no good.
Since my iphone and macbook air are both running effectively off the airport network, i can assume the problem is with the macbook pro and not the airport, right?
thanks

"...i can assume the problem is with the macbook pro and not the airport, right?"
Perhaps, but what I do is to reset the AE and then set it up from the MBP.

My new Macbook Pro suddenly won't turn on!

I just got my new Macbook Pro 15" 2.66GHz and now it won't turn on. I was using it until it almost didn't have any battery left. Then I was away from it for a while and when I came back I couldn't make it work again. When the power cable is plugged in the little white light on the cover blinks and I can here a strange sound turning on and off again and again - sounding like the harddisk turning on and failing, turning on and failing... Now the power cable has been in the computer for a while but it's still like this and the lamp on the adapter is green - not orange, which it should be when it's charging. This is really bad since I have a lot of work on it, do you know anything? Please and thank you.

If the little light on the front of the MBP is still on, hold down the power button until it turns off and all signs of activity stop. Then reset the SMC:

Reconnect the AC adapter. Does it begin charging now (orange light on the plug)? If so, let it charge for half an hour and then try starting it up again. If that works, it's ready to use normally.

MacBook Pro screen won't turn on

Yesterday my MacBook Pro unexpectadly shut off. It then would not turn back on and it became warm. You could also hear the fans blowing beneath, at one point it got so loud at night that I took the battery out so I could sleep. Today around 2:30 I tried to put the battery back in to see what it would do, and again nothing happened. My battery indicates about an 80% charge. I went to my schools tech help department and there we took the battery out and then held the power button for a few seconds, put the battery back in, and then it turned on (finally!). However, i stepped away for a few minutes a few hours later and it idled and then shut off and now I cannot get it back on (even with the method the tech people showed me). I'm confused and a student that really needs my computer, especially since there is no wireless in my dorm so I can't use my iPad. Any suggestions? I'm in desperate need of help!

Age is not a determinant of the failure of a MBP. I have an original 2006 MBP that is in 100% working order. The model number for a MBP can be found in SYSTEM PROFILER>HARDWARE OVERVIEW.
It sounds to me that an appointment an Apple store is in order for a definitive diagnosis.
Ciao.

Macbook pro fans won't turn on

So, I have a Macbook pro (15", 2.35 ghz, mid 2009) and have had a LOT of issues with it. While under apple care they all got taken care of, most recently I had everything replaced when they shipped it incorrectly back to me and the battery blew up and I got a new logic board, display, bottom case.. etc. My coverage shortly ran out, and now I'm running into a major problem.
My fans will NOT turn on. Ever. I installed smcfancontrol and basically no matter what I set the speed to, my fans remain at 000rpm. Also, I feel like when I first installed smcfancontrol i had both 'right' and 'left' fans, but now I only have 'left' as an option (but maybe im imagining that?). Anyway, my computer will get up to 105 degrees (celcius), occasionally if I have just too many tabs open, but usually if I'm trying to play a video. If I try to play something on YouTube or Netflix, it gets to 105 almost immediately and I have to stop the video. Randomly my computer will be down in the 50s-60s range, but typically it's running at 80/90/+, and there doesn't seem to be any common link
In addition to smcfancontrol, I also tried uninstalling any/all fan controlling programs, doing a few restarts once the trash was emptied, and then doing both an SMC reset and a PRAM reboot. Afterwards, I checked out iStat which told me "Fans: Left fan 0rpm". I was advised to try smcfancontrol again, and still, I only get left fan and 000rpm. I am a recent college grad trying to find a job, I cannot afford to get my computer fixed through apple (YET AGAIN!) without coverage so I'm really hoping there is something that I can do to try and fix this. Desperate for advice, thanks!

update: i forgot because it's been so long, but every now and then, if i hold the computer at a certain angle, and it's in a really good mood, the fan will kick on high. But not everytime i hold it at a specific angle. sometimes if i move it, the fans will shut off, and i can try to put it back in the same exact position and nothing will happen. Which tells me that the fan physically works, so i'm assuming it's a logic board problem??

Macbook Pro 2011 won't turn on (RAM issue?)

(Macbook pro 2011) I had water damage so I sent in to apple for a complete makeover and they pretty much replaced everything. The laptop seemed to be working fine but the issue is that when I put my laptop to sleep / turn off it won't turn back on. I haven't had the time to take my laptop back to the apple store due to projects / travelling. I've found that there is one quick fix, manually resetting the ram by taking the RAM chips out for a second then re-inserting them. The other way is to hold Command+Option+P+R 3 times before reboot and that'll work temporarily for a day maybe. I plan on taking it to the apple store in a day or so if the problem doesn't resolve itself. Do you guys have any suggestions?
Thanks,

Macbook Pro 15" won't turn on with battery or with power cord

I have a refurbished Macbook Pro, which I believe is a 2009 model. The battery recently was completely drained, and I plugged it in to charge, but all I got was the green light on the power cord. The battery refuses to charge, and I'm not sure if it's possible to run without the battery in, but I tried it and the computer won't start up at all. I tried an SMC reset, but don't think anything happened. Is this a fixable problem, or do I need to take it in?
OS 10.7.5 just FYI, I would provide other specs but I don't know off the top of my head and as per my situation, I cannnot check them.

My MacBook Pro Retina won't turn on! Yesterday I installed the new updates.

So it's fully charged. I used it without any problems last night, then shut it down. This morning when I tried to turn it on, it won't. I have Lion installed and am up to date with all of the software updates. There is a green light in the AC adapter. What should I do??

I know this post is from back in September of last year, but I wanted to comment for posterity to say what worked for me with my July 2012 retina MBP refusing to turn on. From the link preludio posted above: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Use the "Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own" method (ie., for all Macbook Pros early-2009 and later). Worked perfectly for me:
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Screen is completely black. When I try hooking it up to an external monitor, no signal is detected on the other monitor either. So now I have no way to see my screen.

Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
         com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff
            dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2.1)@0x82fd3000
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6.5)@0x7a802000
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
         com.apple.nvidia.nv50hal(6.4.0)@0x83c05000->0x84019fff
            dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000
         com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000->0x8378dfff

            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2.1)@0x82fd3000
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
Good luck,
Clinton
