So I left my computer unplugged for two and a half months while I was traveling. I came back and tried to start it but to no avail. The power cord is ruled out (works on my other computers), there are no sounds or lights and I'm not sure how to check the battery since it is not removable. Any suggestions?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
Yeah I tried that and it didn't work. Unfortunately there is no response at all when I press the power button. I called a local computer store this morning and they told me that they think it is the motherboard and "not to bother sending it in, it'll be a waste of money to replace it. Just buy a new one." What do you think?
Seems odd though that the motherboard would just die out when not in use. Is there an Apple Store nearby? they can check your computer for free. If the motherboard needs replacement, check the costs before leaving it to them for repair. BTW when did you purchase this unit?
Yeah. I don't even think it was plugged in while we were gone. I purchased the unit one year ago. The store I called is an authorized repair shop, that is the closest "Apple" store... the next one is 45 miles away.
Is it still within the 1 year warranty? If it is, then any repair should be covered. You can call Apple for your options - 1 800 APL CARE. Good luck
Computer will not start, power cord ok, no sounds
