I waited just a few minutes before trying to turn them on. There was no sign of life, no sparks, no flames, nothing. It has now been over 24 hours since this happened. I keep trying to turn them on, with or without their chargers, but nothing happens. Meanwhile, the MacBook Pro (mid 2012, 4Gb) is still working and I can now do normal mouse clicks, but the keyboard still doesn't work and I'm using a USB keyboard. It has also decided to reboot by itself a few times. Before checking my email to see if anyone had replied I even had problems turning this computer on!
