Won't start up after low battery
I work in an office with many Macs and two of them are doing this same, odd, behavior:
-computer battery went low over the weekend (about 10%)
-user closed computer without shutting down
-computer was connected to power about 30 minutes later to charge
-computer was opened this morning and would not turn on (status light is on)
-computer was connected to power and now shows a full charge by pressing the battery level indicator button (green lights)
-pressing the power button does not turn it back on (status light is on)
-pressing and holding the power button will turn it off (status light goes off)
-pressing power button again only results in the status light coming on, no other noise or activity.
I tried:
-multiple cycles of pressing power button
-power button with option key
-plugged in and not plugged in
-connected to external display
nada on all counts.
