[QUOTE="antonisalb, post: 971683, member: 138063"] Hello to everyone this is my first post here and sadly its about a problem with my macbook pro. The notebook in question is a 17'' Macbook Pro I bought in September 2008. I simply closed it (without turning it off, just let it go on sleep) and took it with me as usual and when I tried turning it on again, it would not turn on. I press the power button and I hear the hard drive/superdrive (not sure which of the two) start up and I see the sleep light turn on but after a few seconds its turns off again. If I hold the power button down for a few seconds the sleep light starts blinking and then the notebook turns off once more. In all cases the screen is black. I tried everything here [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1365]Troubleshooting a MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro that won't turn on[/url] and tried removing and re-installing the RAM and nothing changed. Short of trying to re-install the RAM again I have no idea what to do. I won't be able to visit a Genius until after the 5th so any ideas/suggestions? [/QUOTE]
