Q: 2006 Macbook Stuck on Apple Logo & Shuts Down
About 6 months ago, my admittedly obsolete 2006 MacBook that's worse-for-wear started malfunctioning. It would get stuck on the Apple logo screen. I was able to boot it in safe mode and fixed the problem. However, a month ago, the problem started back up and I'm unable to reboot using safe mode for some reason.
Here are just the facts:
- When I press the power button, the start up chime doesn't happen.
- The Apple logo and circling thingy both appear but the MacBook shuts down after a few minutes.
- The only thing I have plugged is the charger.
The MacBook isn't my main computer and I've never placed much stress on it.
I've tried rebooting in safe mode a couple of times but am unable to do so. Although I think at this point I'll probably have to take it in to a shop, I'm really hoping that someone can give me some simple advice on how to resolve the issue.
Thanks.
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
