2011 MacBook Pro 15": no chime, black screen, fans running plus
2011 MacBook Pro limited signs of life (new to me logic board)
- No chime
- Fans running (normal speed)
- Black screen
- Battery charging
- Power light working
- SMC reset - no change (there is a color change at the AC adapter plug)
- PRAM reset - no change (dead screen, no chime)
- USB connections - no response - ports act dead
- Remove RAM it does beep. new RAM no change. switch places no change.
- Caps lock - no light. keyboard - no back light
- Can hear the CD rev at start up - but the only system disk I had was for MacBook it rev’d and kicked it out, I put it back in and it got stuck. I did get the CD out manually. I disconnected optical drive from the logic board
- The logic board does get power either by battery or AC. I have tried battery only and AC only. no startup. no change.
- Board gets warm - “normal” warm
I did the:
- Unplug the battery.
- Unplug the MagSafe power cable.
- Hold down the power button for about 10 sec and continue to do that.
- While still holding the power button down, insert the MagSafe power cable and hold it for another 10 sec.
- Release the power button after those 10 sec and make a "normal" press as if you would normally turn on your computer. The result was fans going full blast and no change.
I have no clue what’s going on. No life. Nothing, other than fan, power light and charging, I have the correct charger. I have tried disconnecting various components from the logic board an no change.
I have NEVER had a logic board this dead.
HELP!!
