Help!
My mac computer was working, then after unplugging to transfer to the other room, i tried plugging it in but no luck. I tried troubleshoot: pressing power,command,control,P&R but nothing happens. I tried the plugging the cord to another computer but it works great but when i plug it in my mac there is no activity at all not even a power.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
Are you sure there is power? Have you tried a simple lamp in that plug?
Mac OS X 10.9.5 does not equal Mac OS 9. There is a big X and 13 years of difference, please post further questions in the right forum:
If there is power, to the other computer in the same room with the same cord, the only thing that remains is the battery may need resetting with the SMC reset. If that doesn't work, try the failing computer in the original room. If it fails there again, then something shook loose in the move.

Try resetting SMC:
Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know know more information about your computer; size, exact year built, RAM installed.
And that is a helpful reply?
Is your comment a helpful reply?
apple support said it is old and there is not much to do. yes there is no power at all, i tried all our outlets.
It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know know more information about your computer; size, exact year built, RAM installed and OS you're running. Any history prior to your incident would also be helpful.
In general:
Try a hard reset. Disconnect the battery (open the bottom and pull the connector off. Use your fingernails.) and power adapter. Press the power button for 1 minute. Let the computer sit for 5 minutes, Reconnect and try to start up.
No? - Go through the same procedure and try to start without the battery connected.
The addendum to this would be to try a known good battery.
This would be for a "no start" scenario but basically it's the SMC reset w/ a battery you can remove.
