I've had a 15 inch pb for 2 years now and Ive recently been having a problem getting it to turn on after I use it for long periods of time. I needed to restart my system and it took me a full hour and a half to get the computer to turn back on. The battery is charged and has been all day. All that happens when I hit the power button is the power on sound plays and I hear the computer making its normal sounds, but the screen does not come back on. What's going on here and what can I do in order to fix it?

Hello kill bill,

It's difficult to know what exactly could be at the core of this issue but it's helpful if you read the following info and see if there's anything there that you can try:

Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck

well I attempted to try the safe mode thing, but I still couldn't get the computer back on. I think I might need to make a trip down to the apple store and have one of those cats look at it.
