I can't to do this because the macbook can't to do nothing. I pushed on button of power to restart the computer and the macbook is ok now. I just want the reason of this big symbol (the same of symbol on power button) on my screen. It taken all the screen. It was white on a grey screen. Why??? It's really anormal.
Your battery needed charging and the system wouldn't boot because the battery was to low?
I have no ideas other then that above.
I don't think, the macbook was connected. The battery was full. I don't work with the macbook when the battery is lower than 60%. I hope to not see this symbol in the future. Thank you to try to resolve my problem. (sorry for my english, I'm french of Québec and I speak english very a little bit).

IMHO, if you don't have a screenshot, try using Google's image search to find it. Maybe it was the prohibitory sign. I'm not familiar with what you describe. I know the Power On symbol appears on kernel panics

but it's not white on grey.
The prohibitory sign
may appear under certain circumstances,

but that one isn't white on grey either.
