Macbook pro 13 inch i7 2nd generation wont turn on

I plugged in an USB Hard Drive and inmediatly prompted an error message and shut down my laptop in less than 1 second after the message. Now it wont turn on. Battery is charged to full (battery led meter works) and the magsafe adapters led is green while connected. Tried reseting SMC and NVRAM/PRAM without any succes. Also disconected the baterry for 15 minutes, nothing. Removed the memory cards without any changes.

I would apreciate any help since we are on easter week and theres no tech support available for me.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)

Well, I have found the error message that prompted when I connected the USB hard drive, it said:

"Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more USB devices have been disabled."

So, yeap. Pretty much im screwed since no one can help me.

Anyway, thanks.

Is it completely dead?

Did you try this?

Thanks for replying Eustace,

Unfortunately, yeah, dead as an opossum crossing a red neck party. The link is for older models, mine is a little newer, mid 2011.

I already tried reseting SMC and PRAM. No results.

Guess I will have to plan Trip in order to get it to tech support.

Fingers crossed, let's hope it's a simple fix.

Good luck.
