Computer issues – please help if you can
My beloved Macbook stopped working this evening. It was working fine – I stepped away to get clean sheets out of the dryer, while one of the cats walked over the keyboard in my absence – and when I came back, the screen was black and the Caps Lock key was lit and wouldn’t toggle off. I couldn’t do anything but hold the Power button until the computer powered down.
Now it won’t power back up at all. No noise, no fans, no nothin’. I’ve tried resetting the PMU/SMC (remove battery/power, hold Power button 5 seconds, replace and start up), starting without the battery, starting without the power supply… nothing seems to work.
I’m going to let it sit overnight, but I’ll be honest: I’m not hopeful. If you have any advice, I’d love to hear it; otherwise I’m going to have to salvage the hard drive and – I guess – start hoping for a new one for Christmas.
