Q: MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012 ) keeps shutting down on startup
Hello everyone,
My Macbook pro mid 2012 keeps shutting down after I press the power button. I can hear the sound like its about to start but after that it shut downs It takes several attempts to start and after that it works normally like everything is perfect. Only problem is I have to keep pressing the power button to make it work. When on power adopter and after pressing the power button it on/off for about 5 to 6 times and then it starts normally. I've tried the SMC and PRAM reset but this didn't work. Still trying to figure out what's causing the problem, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

- If you do not have a backup use disk utility to restore the internal disk to an external disk so you can try to recover data.
Then format the startup disk and do a fresh install of OSX
