One of my friend's MBP won't turn on. The status light goes on for about 3 seconds than turns back off. I don't think the HDD spins and nothing on the screen comes up (looks like it doesn't even turn on). I tried to remove the battery and did the SMC reset and still nothing.
Any ideas or tips?
 
Sorry to hear that. It looks like your hard drive went out.If you have apple care you can get it replaced at the mac store. Just save your stuff.
 
Unfortunately the MBP is out of warranty already..

However, if the HDD is out... wouldn't it still be able to boot?
