MacBook Pro dropped from table height, doesnt turn on
Hi everybody!
My MacBook Pro Unibody 2008 dropped on the floor from table height a couple of years ago. It didnt really bother me back in the day because I already replaced it with a 13-Inch MacBook Pro of a newer generation.
Anyway:
Today I got curious if I could fix it and give it away as a gift to someone who cant afford a notebook., because it is still more than enough for browsing the web and so on.
Symptoms:
- No damage visable, no dents or scratches
-doesnt turn on
-MacSafe Adapter doesnt have a green/orange light at all
(I tried different Adapters on different Power Sockets, they all work on my other Mac)
-Doesnt turn on without battery
Is there anyway to locate the damage? I suspect the LogicBoard but I dont want to replace just yet.
Thank you a lot!
Best regards
Thomas

Thank you.
I cleaned the dust out of the system.
I couldnt find any visable damage on the DC-In Board. Is there a way I can measure the voltage in the system in order to check if the DC-In Board or the LogicBoard needs to be replaced?

Did you try powering up the system by placing the MagSafe cable directly on the contacts without fitting it through the housings connector hole?
Often the plastic deforms so the contacts are not mating. This is the simplest test you need to do first.
