My late 2008 MacBook Pro Running OSX Mavericks 10.9.2. This has happened several times. Usually I take out the battery and put it back in and jiggle the hard drive. Then it usually turns on. Today it won't. Please help.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

It turned on. What should I tell them if I bring it in?
So it's running ok now?
BTW, "jiggling" your Mac can only cause problems.
Yes it is working fine.
I did not shake my Mac. I only tried to move around my hard drive. I was thinking that it was not in all the way, but I think that was flawed thinking.
If at some point it won't turn on again, then take it to an Apple Store.
After it happened again. I decided to bring it to the apple store. Their diagnosis was that there is a logic board (motherboard) issue, and it needs to be replaced. It would be a $300 fix, but I decided against it because I'm planning on getting a new macbook pro in a month or so. I am still weary on whether or not this is actually a logic board issue. Is there anyway it could be my hard drive? I could buy an SSD for my mac for $80 or less. Do you think that could be the issue?
MacBook Pro won't turn on.
