I was trying to pair some bluetooth speakers with my macbook pro. it switched itself off and now wont start at all! There was charge and it is anyway plugged into the mains and the little green light on the power cord going into the macbook is green.
Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
Try these steps:
Restart your Mac with the Shift button pressed.
- Shut down your Mac
- Wait until your computer turns off and after that press the Power button
- Right after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key
- Release the Shift key when you see a grey Apple sign and the progress bar below this sign
- Once you see Desktop, start a Disk Utility scan to detect and repair file system errors (don't forget to choose your main hard drive)
- Click on Verify Disc and then, if asked to fix problems, on Repair Disk
- After this, click on Verify Disk Permissions and then on Repair Disk Permissions
- After the process is finished, shut down your Mac and turn it back on after about 30 seconds
Apart from that, take a look at this Apple article and follow the instructions on Resetting NVRAM shown there:How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

Hope this helps
This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum.
Reset the SMC and the NVRAM:

Try it more than once if you have to.
If no success, make an appointment at an apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.
Ciao.
My Macbook pro turned itself off and now wont start again!
