Hi guys ! recently after i close the lid of my macbook pro 13" when i open the lid computer doesn’t wake up from the sleep. i have done all the SMC reset , NVRAM , PRAM , fresh install the OS and none of them work . so u i have to hold teh power button in order to turn it on back again. what could be the issue ?
You could damage your HD if you continue to crash (force start) the machine. Every time you catastrophically, instead of gracefully, shut down the drive you fragment the MBD. Do that too many times and it will not recover. You haven’t mentioned the OS. You haven’t told us if you’ve been inside the machine and didn’t reassemble the sleep magnets correctly.

Actually I’m having the same exact problem. My Mid-2009 MacBook Pro 13.3 inch goes to sleep permanently after closing the lid. I will open the lid up and the light is still pulsing, but when I click the power button nothing happens. I have to hold the Power button until he machine has turned off, then click it again, sometimes for some odd reason it will continue with resume, or it will re-boot. I have already reset the SMC, and PRAM. No luck at all. Once the lid is closed you can’t have it recover from sleep mode by pressing a key or clicking the trackpad.
I have the same problem as Jabran. Have confirmed that resetting SMC, PRAM, reinstalling Mavericks did not help.
The problem may be due to SafeSleep, which is enabled by default on Macbooks and causes the laptop to write out the RAM to disk when put to sleep. Try turning off SafeSleep and see if that helps. My 2011 Macbook Pro started hanging occasionally when closing the lid after I upgraded to 8GB RAM, and turning off SafeSleep seems to have stopped it. How to Turn off OSX SafeSleep
