Macbook pro problem

[dedalus]

HI there,

My MBP SR won't start. It chimes shows the apple and the rotating thingie but then just dies down and shuts off.

The battery is 100% charged. I've tried to unplug remove battery press the start button for 5 and 30 seconds but nothing.

tried the verbose mode and it said killing all processes...

I'd like to try and boot up with the OS X installer but it doesn't boot. Can anyone help?

desperate, the computer has a few months...

in verbose mode it also says CPU halted...

is it super bad?

Barring that I would head into the nearest Apple Store right quick and have a Genius look at it.

thanks tried that as the first instance. But to no avail...

can you please help me in booting up the system with the OS X install cd? if I just inser the cd the computer doesn't boot up. Do I need to press any keys when the cd is inserted?

Are you holding down "c" when you start up? That tells it to boot from the disc.
