Hi guys,
got a macbook pro 15 inch running on lion think its late 2010 model.
My troubles began when my cable wire came loose so i bought a new one of eBay.
Plugged it in yesterday and after around 45 mins of continuously pressing the power button it eventually turned on, but the fan was working at full speed and their was an x on the battery saying their is no battery available.
Anyway I looked up on the net for a fix and it suggested to reset the SMC by pressing shift control option on the left hand side of keyboard and power button simultaneously release and press power button to reset. What actually actually happened was that i could not turn on my mac on for several hours.
When it does come on I have to press fn control option command and power button. ( I am not sure if pressing the button of fn control option command is the correct thing to do but it seems every time i turn it on I have to press these 4 buttons)
When I also unplug it from the mains it again needs several hours for me t restart it.
Driving me mad as I am in a remote part of greece with no tech support for macs.
Anyone have any ideas
thanks in advance.
