09' Macbook wont turn on after my cat walked on it?

Plug the cat into the USB and reinstall your Mac's soul

No, I'm just one of those posters. I'm sure you'll live until someone who can help appears.

Give Apple a call before going to the store. They might be able to trouble shoot via phone.

AppleCare/Apple warranty does not cover accidental damage so probably no point in contacting Apple.......

Sell cat and use the profit to purchase a new mac?

lol on a serious note, just call or bring it into the store to see if they can trouble shoot the problem.

Removed.

Is this your cat?

Do not mention to Apple that a cat stomped on your MacBook's keyboard. Just say you were pecking away on http://www.typeracer.com and it shut off and showed no signs of life.

Last night my cat walked across the keyboard of my macbook and the whole thing shut down. It was on the charger at the time and working fine. Now the charger light doesn't illuminate and it won't turn on or show any signs of life.

I have 2 years of applecare, but if you guys have any suggestions I would love to spare myself a trip to the mall.

Thanks,

Griffin

I believe this is a known issue at Apple. Apparently the cat hair fries the circuits or something.

Your sense of humor is limitless apparently. Apparently you're one of those people.

wow first time I have heard of this. My cat who is 4KGs jumps onto my late 08 macbook keyboard on a regular basis. I usually end up with the odd application opening up.

One day I went to make a cup of tea and came back to find my cat had opened Mac Mail and had composed and email to my partner. I think he was wanting some cat treats. lol

Wow Funny,

When my cat was a kitten he jumped on my old pc laptop and some how formated my usb drive. I was mad but it was funny, any ways I had a backup of the stupid stick.

Well its kind of my fault the format window was open.


also some times my cat now that he has grown up jumps on my desk to give me a hello, He likes to tap my screen where ever I point the mouse.


Also for OP, Bring the computer in, Best bet, Sounds like something may be just not be conecting because of the cat hair in on the keyboard system.
