Hi everyone!
I bought my macbook last july and so far have had various problems including the random shutdown syndrome (which was repaired by a lovely apple technician) and this time round, my beloved macbook won't start up.
This problem only occurred after I downloaded software upgrades for roughly six different programs which took about 1/2 a day to install. Unfortunately I can't remember what they were, but had to do with improving the stability and functioning system
When i press the on button, the start up sounds and front light are exactly the same but the screen remains black and non-responsive. I've held it down for about 10 seconds and nothing happens except that the light flashes.
I've tried suggestions raised in other related threads: taking the battery out and pressing the on button for ten seconds followed by replacing the battery again. nothing. took the battery out, put the power plug in and ran it off the adapter. nothing!
Has anyone else experienced this problem? And any advice?
Thanks in advance!!
