I upgraded my 13" macbook pro to lion last night. I watched some movies until the battiery died. Now it won't boot up. Indicator light does not come on and it makes no noise. Battery indicator says it's full. Any suggestions?
Got a tip for us?

MacBook Pro will not boot after Lion upgrade

If you plug-in the magsafe connector does the magesafe connector light up?
Try resetting SMC and PRAM.
Yes the magesafe connection does light up. It starts green, then orange, then after a few hours of charging green. I'm not sure how to make any changes as it won't start up at all.
Try holding down the power button for a few seconds and see if it boots. On my MacBook Pro I have to hold down the power button for a few seconds after the battery has completely discharged before it will bootup.
I attempted that. I called apple support and they had me try a few different thing like hold shift, control, option, and the power button for 10 seconds. Then just hold the power button for 5 seconds. Then they told me it was a hardware issue. Just seems strange that it happened the night I upgraded to Lion. My computer is only 13 months old.
I've seen a lot of weird hardware issues pop up with Lion installs. My motherboard on my 15" went out when I upgraded, for example. Hope your issue gets resolved quickly!
Same Issue
I just installed Lion on my 13" MacPro (November '10) and everything seemed to work fine until I installed the first round of updates. It will no longer reboot and powers off as soon as the apple symbol shows up in the screen. It sounds 3 short beeps and 3 long beeps ( if I remember correctly) at startup. I'm absolutely pissed as I've been been trying to decide for the past 5 months if I should upgrade.
Have you had any luck with your case and Apple?
