[QUOTE="Jemlyn, post: 742626, member: 71007"] I was using my macbook pro and it suddenly shutdown. I tried to turn it back on but all that happened is the light in the power button came on for about 3 seconds then went back off. I have tried all the stuff I kind find, such as taking out battery and holding power for 10 seconds, nothing worked. One thing it said on Mac website was to hold down control/command and power for 5 secs. Tried that. Tried to power up and the power button stayed lit rather than going off after a few seconds but nothing else happened at all, just power button light stayed on. After removing battery again and trying the "hold power button down" thing again, its back to when I try to power up the light in the power button comes on for a few seconds then goes back off and nothing else happens. This happened while I was in china, plugged in through the correct mac power supply and wall adapter. I have two batteries, have tried both and tried with and without wall power plugged in. Both batteries show plenty of charge and work in other macbooks so pretty sure its not a battery problem I really appreciate any help. Am out of country and have no way to call apple or go to mac store and NEED my mac for business asap. Thanks so much!! Jeremy [/QUOTE]
