Hello. I got this MacBook pro off of eBay and I loved it until April. It would not turn on so I gave up hopeand left it sitting, collecting dust. Today I decided to try it and it turned on! IT WORKED!!! I was so happy that i had my mac back and running! I am guessing that it is a problem with the graphics card. It had problems in the past with the graphics card. Is there anything to help me prevent this from happening again?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
by the way it is an early 2008 macbook pro
Depends on what is wrong w/your MBP. Do a SMC reset & a PRAM zap. Check out KB Articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411 Apple Portables: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) & http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If it's a graphic card issue, see if your model MBP applies: See Article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues
These computers were manufactured between approximately May 2007 and September 2008
