Hi everyone. I was wondering if anybody has had similar problems with their MacBook as me. Over the last few days i have been having problems with my MacBook Pro starting up. If i put it to sleep it will not wake up, just get a blank screen and if i turn it off, it will not boot. I can hear the drive spin up, the chime sounds, but just get a blank screen. The apple logo is not illuminated and the caps lock key illuminates when pressed. The only way to get it to boot is to turn it off and on repeatedly around 30 times and then itll boot up and work fine. My battery was pretty bad so thought this might be the cause but after replacing it, its still the same. Its running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and i think its a late 2010 MacBook.

Thanks
