Â Wait a few seconds. If the computer doesn’t soon start up, shut it down by holding

down the power (®) button for about 8 to 10 seconds. Disconnect all external

peripherals and try restarting by pressing the power (®) button while holding down

the Option key. When your computer starts up, click the hard disk icon, and then click

the right arrow. After the computer starts up, open System Preferences and click

Startup Disk. Select a local Mac OS X System folder.

Â If that doesn’t work, try using Disk Utility to repair the disk:

Â Insert the Mac OS X Install DVD into your computer.

Â Restart your computer and hold down the C key as it starts up.

Â Choose Installer > Open Disk Utility. When Disk Utility opens, follow the instructions

in the First Aid pane to see if Disk Utility can repair the disk.

If using Disk Utility doesn’t help, you might need to reinstall your computer’s system

software. See “Reinstalling the Software That Came with Your MacBook Pro” on

page 60.

If your MacBook Pro doesn’t turn on or start up

Try the following suggestions in order until your computer turns on:

Â Make sure the power adapter is plugged into the computer and into a functioning

power outlet. Be sure to use the 60W MagSafe Power Adapter that came with your

MacBook Pro. If the power adapter stops charging and you don’t see the indicator

light on the power adapter turn on when you plug in the power cord, try unplugging

and replugging the power cord to reseat it.
