Laptop just took a dump on me... Not sure why?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Okay so basically I have a Macbook Pro (couldn't list all the specs off the top of my head, but it is only a few months old) and all of a sudden it won't boot up. I was using it earlier today and have been all day no problem. Well (I'm not accusing anything so don't get butthurt about me saying this) I downloaded the newest version of OSBot 2.4.12 and decided to run it for a little and test it out. Opened it up in mirror mode before I started any script I went ahead and logged in to the character and moved him to a different location. The whole time I was lagging like crazy so I decided to restart the computer. It shut down and now it won't boot up.

 

I hear the chime, the internal noises, the Apple logo comes up but the bar under it will barely fill up before it quits trying to boot. I've tried every possible troubleshooting method provided and no avail.

 

Again I am not making any accusations but it is rather strange a brand new computer would do something like that. OSBot client is the ONLY program I have downloaded onto this laptop that isn't school related and I've never been to any crap websites/click on any fake links, I am not that stupid.

 

Any advice/help would be appreciated. This is my school laptop so I'm hoping I don't need a new one because I can't afford it lol.

 

 

EDIT: Apologies if this is in the wrong section. If it is please just move the thread accordingly :D

The things OSbot contains aren't even able to modify anything on your computer that could eventually prevent it from booting. It must be something else. If it's fairly new, you might want to return it, as it could be damaged in some way, or get a hardware specialist to look on it (all tho that could cost you money)

Fair enough! Still is just strange though. No computers (especially Macs) just shit on you for no reason, especially this new of one. Just trying to figure out what could possibly cause it not to boot. It is definitely not due to any type of physical damage as I baby this thing lol.

 

You bought a crapple

Didn't really have a choice, it was specified by the school. The audio industry standard is Mac :D

Without knowing anything about it - I assume OSX has a 'safemoode' or 'safeboot' option, just as on windows?

I have a macbook too. Since the newest update of OSX my laptop had the same problem as yours. I think that you can only fix this by setting up a new osx on your macbook. I did that and i have no problems anymore whatsoever. Good luck tho!

Haven't updated to El Capitan (assuming that is what you are referring to). And thank you!

 

Hi,

 

I have two jobs, one of them being a sales assistant at a premium certified Apple repair place.

 

 

If you PM me the serial number of your device + the problem you have in detail i can look into this for you.

This would be at monday.. so you'd have to wait a while.

If I can't get it fixed by Monday I will just take it to our school's IT department, they are all certified Apple techs and they are the ones who distributed us our computers/equipment. Thank you though, I appreciate it :D
