[QUOTE="Legofou, post: 1387029, member: 244808"] I own a 2009 MBP (so no chance of taking off any components) 4GB of RAM and I think it's 2.53Ghz So I had left my MBP on my desk and it was running some streams (MLG), it had been running streams for about the last 3 hours I'd say and it was starting to make some noise and heat up a little bit. Suddenly it completely shut off. I let it cool down for about 30 minutes and tried to turn it back on but to no success. I tried turning it back on without a power supply and it would just make a brief "pshit" noise and nothing would happen. I then tried to reset the system management controller ([url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US]Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)[/url]) and nothing happened, i'm not even sure if I did it right 3 minutes ago I tried again and it turned on, the apple logo came on and the little wheel started to spin but then it turned back off. Any help? :( EDIT: oh and the horizontal light turns on everytime i press the power button Thanks in advance for any help. [/QUOTE]
