 If the problem persists, return the computer to its factory settings by disconnecting
the power adapter, removing the battery, and holding down the power (®) button
for at least 5 seconds.
 If you recently installed additional memory, make sure that it is correctly installed and
that it is compatible with your computer. See whether removing it and reinstalling
the old memory allows the computer to start up (see “Installing Memory” on
page 35).
 Press the power (®) button and immediately hold down the Command (x), Option,
P, and R keys simultaneously until you hear the startup sound a second time to reset
the parameter RAM (PRAM).
 If you still can’t start up your MacBook, see “Learning More, Service, and Support” on
page 52 for information about contacting Apple for service.

and resuming your work.
To see how much the battery has charged, look at the Battery (

menu bar.
The display might also darken if you have energy saver features set for the battery.
