I can't get the Mac to power up. Sleep light is on.
Mac book pro is about 3 years old. Two days ago it wouldn't power up. It turns off, but only powers into sleep mode. The light on the front was solid on. I went the internet looking for help. Apple + V while pushing start button worked! Great - saved from depression. Today the same problem, but apple+V didn't work. Tried Mayer's suggestion - apple + alt + p + r while restarting. Nothing. Help anyone!!!

I also took the battery out, disconnected from power, then pushed start. That didn't help. I can only power off, or power into sleep mode. That's why I can't run any applications - I have only a blank screen. I am borrowing a disk to try and boot from disk. I'll let you know if anything works. Perry in Russia

When you say you got nothing, does that mean it didn't tone or didn't fix the problem?
