MY MacBook pro was being used then turned black. It wasn't plugged in so I plugged it in. Now my charger is flashing and it won't turn on. HELP! What does this mean?!
Computer died?!

Hi,
Try this,
1. Make sure the Mac is off, not just the display.
2. Disconnect the power cord, and all other cables(printer etc).
3. Let it sit 5 minutes.
4. Now restart the laptop while holding down the Shift key. Does the MBP restart in Safe Mode, with the screen visible again?
If the MBP boots it would be good to see what the system Profiler > Power has to say about the battery condition regarding full charge capacity and count cycles.
Remember that the Mac will automatically shut down due to very low battery power.
