Just like the title says. The laptop turns on but there is no chime and the screen is obviously backlit. I’ve tried all the key strokes while turning on me nothing works Update (06/11/2017) Also here is a picture of what it looks like “on” and “off” you can clearly see that the screen works. Just nothing is happening.
Please tell us your exact machine. Here’s my problem with answering this. You said you tried all the key stokes. That tells me nothing. You tried the keystones that YOU know of, not the ones I know of. Did you do a SMC reset, a PRAM reset? What’s going on with the Mag-safe light? What’s the history of this machine? Help us to help you. UPDATE \SMC reset Shut down your computer Keep the MagSafe adapter (or power cable) plugged in. Press at the same time shift option control (on the left side of the keyboard) and the power button Let go Turn your computer back on with the power button. Tell us what happened UPDATE Let’s see if we can get a spontaneous reboot. Disconnect the mag-safe Open the back and disconnect the battery wait one minute reconnect the battery now reconnect the mag-safe Does it boot?
