After entering my code and enter, the spinning icon appears and also the progress bar. It moves about an 1/8th of the way then disappears and computer shut down
SOURCE: powers down shortly after boot
Thank for contacting Fixya, I will be glad to assist you.
Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:
• First, hold in your power button for approximately 10 seconds to do a hard shutdown.
• Once your Mac is shutdown, you will need to perform what is called a PRAM reset (Parameter RAM)
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously .
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Now, hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
• Release the keys and allow the Mac to start up.
• Please update me to let me know if this works.
Thanks.

The scroll on your laptop is controlled by the trackpad installed on the system.
If you are having problems with the scroll on your laptop's trackpad, there is something you can do before you take it into a computer repair shop.
Updating the driver to the trackpad will enable the scroll if it is not working at all.
Once the driver is updated, your scroll should work again.
You can access the driver through the Device Manager on your laptop.
Click the "Start" button, then click the "Search" option.
Type "Device Manager" into the search bar and press the "Enter" button.
Click on the "Device Manager" icon from the menu, then scroll down to the "Track Pad" icon on the left side of the screen.
Click on the icon, then click the "Driver" tab at the top of the window. Click the "Update" driver option from the window.
Wait for the new driver to install on your computer.
This should take about two minutes to complete.
A window will appear telling you that the driver has been installed.
Put your fingers on the touchpad to move the mouse around on the screen.
