Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Battery ran out, and now my MacBook Pro can't turn on?

My MacBook Pro ran out of battery 2 days ago, so I charged it up for like 2 hours before opening it again. It does not turn on, it takes an hour but still on the white screen with the gray apple logo. I figured letting it "rest" for the night will do the trick but the next morning, still nothing happened.


I tried looking for answers and came across the SMC Reset where you hold the left Shift + Ctrl + Option + Power button all together while charging. I tried that and the LED light on my MagSafe adaptor did change, so I thought yey it worked. But no, it didn't. It still won't open! It's driving me crazy. I also tried the Disk Utility repair where you press and hold Command + R after the chime, but my S.M.A.R.T. status appears 'Verified' so nothing's wrong, I even clicked the Repair Disk and then it says nothing's wrong. So I shut it down, and tried opening it one more time, and it still doesn't open.


I tried resting it for a day and it still won't open. And now I think I made it worse, because when I try to open it, the white screen with the gray apple logo will pop up but then for about 3 minutes it will shut itself down. :( My MacBook's resting for about 2 days now.


Please help me!

Hello! Thanks for the fast reply.


I tried the SMC reset (for the nth time), PRAM, and the Safe Boot. Unfortunately it still won't open. :(


When I tried the Safe Boot, the progress bar stopped at a certain length and won't load any further, and then it shut itself down. Like, 3 minutes after I tried doing the safe boot. I can't quite figure why it shuts itself down completely after a few minutes, I hope it's nothing serious. :(


I took a photo of it. I wish I could show you, but I'm on my phone and don't know how to upload a picture in here.

Hi,


Trying the AHT:

I pressed and held 'D' right after I pressed the power button, and the white screen popped up for, like a minute, and then the gray apple logo appeared too as well as the loading gear and the progress bar. Then about 5 minutes later the loading gear and the progress bar disappeared and my mac shut itself down completely.


Long story short, my attempt failed. Again. :(

Battery ran out, and now my MacBook Pro can't turn on?
