Turns off by itself w/ and w/o adapter

My MacBook Pro has been turning off by itself. Even if my battery is fully charged or my adapter is plugged in, it some how shuts down. I've checked my sleep and power settings with no avail. It shuts down when I'm surfing the internet, watching a DVD, working on a document, etc.
I've had my computer for only 3 months and my battery doesn't fall under the range of batteries that need to be replaced.
Does anyone have any ideas as to whats going on? Do I need to take this to my local Apple Store?
Thanks!
Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo; 2GB, 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM

I have had my MBP for about 2 weeks and it was having the same problem....I took it to the apple store and they are currently installing a new logic board. I would call support or bring it in to the store and see what they say.

Tried starting holding option command P and R key and didnt work either. Starting to think I have lost all my data inside

    Try a SMC reset.

    It might be helpful if you indicated the exact model/year of your MBP.  Are you running Lion OSX?

  • HT201263 dropped iphone4 in water and turned off by itself

    dropped iphone4 in water and turned off by itself and now cant turn on, plugged it to itunes and was asking to restor, when i did restore it it would not turn on when i try to restart it was still the same and now keeps on asking to restore would not turn on any help.... please

    You can try drying it out internally by wrapping the unit in a paper towel and putting it in a bag of dry, uncooked rice (or a bag of silica gel pellets, if you have access to those) for a few days. It's very probable that it's been permanently damaged, but it's possible that if you dry it out, it may then work. If after a few days in the bag it still has problems, then you'll need to pay to get it exchanged (by Apple) or repaired (by a third-party repair service, which voids any warranty).
    Good luck.

  • My razr m just stopped working turned off by itself and will not turn on

    my razr m just stopped working turned off by itself and will not turn on

    raamw,
    My wife has the exact same phone and I have the razr HD (basically the same, just larger screen etc).
    We have run into the same thing a few times, and as stated above by Callie I have found it is a dead battery issue. BUT unlike my previous phone (Droid incredible) that I could usually plug in, wait a few minutes, then at least turn on and use while plugged in, I have found for the M and mine it really took a bit to get it charged.  Kind of like as long as there is some battery you are ok, but once it dies it takes a bit of charging.
    ALSO - I am going to perhaps not use the right terms or words for this, but  I THINK (emphasize think) at least once it wasn't enough to use one of the lower amp chargers.  at least on mine.  tried to charge and charge and didn't seem to work.  Finally I took a charger that I normally need to use for my daughters tablet and use that then it had enough kick.  I will note I think that was the issue.
    regardless each time yes it took awhile before we could turn them on.  ALSO it seemed like it took a much longer time in holding the power button down.  BUT eventually they started up and we were good to go.
    we love our phones, she especially loves the size of the M.  BUT we have learned in the short 2-3 months we have had them, if possible, don't let the thing drain all the way.  just seems to cause a bit of a hastle

  • I am having trouble with my i pad it freezes it turns off by itself and the screen turns blue?

    I am having trouble with my i pad it freezes and it turns off by itselfI and screen turns blue?

    Start by rebooting the iPad by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restart, ignoring the red slider if that appears.  See if that helps.

  • When I was restoring my iphone4, at the end of restoring the settings an error occured and it turned off by itself and now it is not recognized by the computer or by the itunes, what to do?

    Hey guys
    When I was restoring my iphone4, at the end of restoring the settings an error occured and it turned off by itself and now it is not recognized by the computer or by the itunes, what to do?
    thanks

    A device that has been jailbroken cannot be discussed on these Communities...Apple will not help you as that voids your warranty.

  • My phone turned off by itself and won't turn back on.

    My phone turned off by itself and now it will not turn back on. I have tried both a soft and a hard restart and the only thing I get is the Dual Core Technology logo and it just stays on. I tried to do restart in regular and recovery mode and neither works. Is there a way to restart it without going back to factory settings????

        I'm sorry your phone won't turn on jessesealey! I'm sure this is beyond frustrating. Do you know what function was used just before powering off? (text, email, internet, etc.) Has the phone been dropped or wet at all? Even steam/mist? I know a Hard Reset is an inconvenience, so you can try charging for 3-4 hours and try powering back on. If that still doesn't work, a Hard Reset is what will need to be done. http://vz.to/Yg68Th
    Please keep us posted.

  • My iphone turned off by itself and it doesn't turn on

    My iphone turned off by itself and it doesn't turn on, What should i do????

    IIf the battery was completely drained it might take some time before the phone will respond. Wait at least 30 minutes with the phone connected to the charger. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone starts up let it continue to charge until it's 100%.
    if the broken button will not let you do the reset Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Airport turns off by itself and won't turn on back again!!!

    hey there, i am currently facing an issue with the airport as by it is turnning off by itself and i cant turn it back on .. i have to restart !!!
    sometimes when i turn on my mac like just now happened it is off and can;t be turned on.
    please if anyone can help i would really appreciate it
    thank you very much

    Hey, in case you haven't been able to find a solution to your original problem with airport turning off, i seem to have found the solution for my MacBook Pro. I called Apple Care and they had me to shut down my computer. Then, while holding down the four keys: command, option, R and P, push the power button to turn on the computer. Do not let up on the four keys until the start up chime has sounded twice. Then let up on the four keys and the OS will boot up as usual. They said what that does is reset your "sleep" parameters on your computer. This seemed to have solved my problem.

  • My iPhone randomly turns off by itself with battery remaining. I can turn on the iPhone by hard restart. But sometimes it turns on at fifth, sixth, or more try. did anyone have this problem? and how can I fix it?

    When my phone was off it wouldn't connect to iTunes, i got it working now though. I just had to hold my lock button and my home button down long enough. Thanks anyways though!

  • I have a new MacBook Air which keeps turning off by itself and now won't turn on at all...

    It's been working fine since I've had it but yesterday it kept turning off by itself and then within minutes off turning it back on it would do it again. Also the little box kept popping up asking if I wanted to sleep, restart etc as if I had pressed the power button. I tried to turn it off completely and now it won't turn back on at all. If I plug the charger in the green light comes on but nothing happens on the actual MacBook itself. What do i do ?
