Had a 2nd hand MacBook Pro for 2 years. Around 3-4 months did not switch on now when I swim on the date was reset back to 2008 and the charger was at green. Battery was not charging. Condition: replace now. There was a 5 times white blinking light when I switched it on. Is the battery gone?

try drain all e batt then charge to full again. might help...

did you use the hardware diagnostic test to acquire the servicing code? perhaps from there you can roughly roughly know what has gone wrong and whether the battery is indeed gone case..

My 4 years plus macbook pro will automatically go into safe mode when switched on. After restarting, then it will go back into normal mode.

What might be the problem??

try fixing your disk permissions. if not, see if your shift key is faulty..

What do you mean "like cannot open too many tabs"? Is there an error message that opens up or what? Please describe your issue.

Hello, any recommendations on upgrading 27" 2010 iMac HDD to SSD or adding another SSD? Also, how do you transfer your BootCamp partition to the new SSD? Please advise. Thanks!

Need to press a lot of time than can On.

I went to check up Apple support , others also encounter this problem.

some give a very weird fix which other claim can work


now I just put to sleep mode...but sometimes it does require to press the button to wake up the iMac if press the keyboard cannot wake the iMac up.

the button might be insensitive either due to mechanical fault, or due to contact oxidation. contact oxidation can be fixed if u open up and spray some WD40 onto the button contact, press a few times and it should be resolved..
