    I ended up frying my battery because I had the wrong charger.  I was using a 13 inch MacBook Pro charger for a 15 inch MacBook Pro. This solved it for me.

    Hi Everyone,

     

    Thanks to a youtube video I was able to recussitate my 2009 MacBook Pro which just decided to not turn on after a week of not being plugged in.

     

    1. unplug the macbook

    2. hold the power button in for 10 seconds - and on the 10th second - plug the power cable into the macbook

    3. keep holding the power button down a few seconds

    4. release and press power once more

    ** it's supposed to start then but mine needed several such cycles

     

    The first time it came up with the white screen and then died,

     

    Then I seriously prayed, and repeated twice more.  

     

    It worked - my Macbook booted up perfectly.

     

    Hope this helps someone.

     

    PS: Don't bother with Apple support for a 2009 MacBook - they are considered Vintage and Apple does not even look at them. You need to contact the Apple Consultants in your area.

     

    Good luck,

    Hi guys, i read some of the responses to this problem and i just wanted to share mine. I had the same problem with my mac pro, i was using it and it just shut down and i wasn't able to start it up. I was in panic aha and i immediately googled what to do. I tried several technics without any success. So i basically gave up and let my computer rest for a few days, cause i gotta say that i neglected it a little bit, by letting it open for days without closing it completely, which is not really a good idea. so it's been maybe a week and i just went to try to start it up and it opened normally. So long story short; if none of the tricks you tried worked, try just to let it rest for a few days.
