PLEASE HELP! MAC WONT TURN ON!!!!
My fellow mac users, I am hoping that ya'lls wisdom can solve this problem I just encountered a few days ago. I have a White Macbook 13inch and have had it since 2008. I just recently upgraded everything. New 320gb hard drive, 2gb RAM, Snow Leopard, and iLife 2011. I have been using it all for a month now and everything is running beautifully.
Last week, I turned my computer off, as usual for the night and when I woke, the computer would not turn on with the power button. I opened up the computer and dusted it and still nothing. I ordered a replacement keyboard from ebay and plugged it in and low-and-behold, It turned on. I wanted to make sure that the original keyboard was broken so I plugged that one in and it worked as well. Including the power button.
Now I just tried to plug the new one in and it doesn't work at all. But the original does. I am worried if I turn off the computer again, I won't be able to get the mac back on. If anyone has ANY suggestions, they would be most appreciated. I don't want to take it to Apple because I know they will charge me $400 for this computer and I clearly don't have that. Any advice would be most gracious!
Thank You!
