[QUOTE="gwsat, post: 1008095, member: 144672"] I had something similar happen to my MB Pro recently and you aren't going to like it if your problem turns out to be the same. When I pressed the power button I could hear the hard drive spinning but the chime didn't sound and the screen stayed black. The little green sleep light built into the lid release catch on the front of the computer would flash 3 times, go dark, flash 3 times again, and on and on. Fortunately, I have AppleCare so I took the MB Pro to the Apple Store and learned that the logic board had failed and that the computer had to be sent off to the repair center for repairs. I got it back fixed in a couple of days but I would have hated to have to pay for it out of pocket. Obviously, I hope that isn't what has happened to you. [/QUOTE]
