[QUOTE="rez, post: 1340102, member: 228220"] Ah I see. Sorry, I mis-read that you had the application disk, not the install disk. However, the application disk should have the apple hardware test on it (depending on which version of OS X your MBP came with). If you hold down D during boot with the disk in the machine, it should bring up a menu to run the test. I'm sorry I cant give you any more instructions on this as I've never done it myself, you can find some more information here [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509]Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test[/url]. This should tell you if you have any hardware problems on your machine. As you mentioned before it may be worth letting the battery run out completely, then trying to boot. Let me know how you get on. rez [/QUOTE]
