I have a 2010 mac book pro which recently had the battery taken out of it, because it had puffed up. I was assured it would still work with the power connected. It did for about 2 hours until i turned it off safely, moved to another location and tried to turn it back on. It made the startup chime, but then a loading bar appeared, which fully loaded and then the computer turned off.

I was told it was most likely the hardrive that was faulty.
long story short,
had to travel to Mexico on exchange, had the the hard drive replaced. still with no battery.

Computer worked fine for about a week until now. The same thing again is happening when i try to turn it on. Start up sound happens, screen turns on, loading bar loads and screen gos black.

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Looks like the infamous NVIDIAgate issue hit the GT330M in your Mac.
