Hi,
I have a 2009 MBP 13", and whenever I press the power button, it turns on for just a second then immediately turns off. Occasionally, it manages to get to the loading screen, but it still dies after it appears. Also, I have it connected to power, however it hasn't started up in months.
Thanks!

It truly amazes me people are asking how to do anything with a 13 year old computer. It's quite a testament that it even powers on, even if for a moment. That said, it's a 13 year old computer. There are so many things which could be going bad on a 13 year old computer, that there's not likely not much anyone here could diagnose accurately.
Personally, I'd replace it. Your computer hasn't received support for several years from Apple. You could take it to your Apple Store, but I'm not sure they'll touch it at this point. A computer service in your town may be willing to look at it, however.

Yea, I may get an M1/M2 Air but im still thinking. Also, I got that old MBP working lol. The battery is swollen (trackpad doesnt click) and the hard drive is on its way out, but im honestly impressed myself.
Lol dont worry i have a 2015 now i just wanted to see if it would work
LOL. I wasn't worried! I'm glad you have something more current to use. Though even that is now 7 years old.
