The MacBook is my wife's of 34yrs. She is a H.S. teacher .Yesterday as she was leaving for work she closed the laptop put it in her case with the A/c power adapter. and left. (I seriously doubt she "shut down" the cpu.) Upon arriving @ the school it sat upon her desk "not plugged into the A/c adapter." When she arrived at home she tried to "boot-up" her MAC... after severall failed attempts at start-up she said what I have just related above.... and then plugged it in with Mag A/c adapter. Every hour last night and again this morning every attempt at BOOT has FAILED.
1.)Depress "start button upper righthand corner.
2.) Screen turns grey with an APPLE and bar graph at the bottom of screen.
3.) Bar graph shows progress slowly, goes off the screen and returns showing movement.
4.) After several reappearences the screen goes BLACK. No sound just BLACK.
I told her last night that it is probably the BATTERY. She is in need of her CPU as she is taking her MASTERS onle with U of Phoenix.
Any help would be appreciated. I have been using computers since 1996 and consider myself a "HACKER." I have my own cpu a Toshiba w/ WIN7 with a NEW HHD that I installed and partitioned.
