Fixing a MacBook Pro A1226 that was replaced/repaired under warranty a year ago for the (big surprise) NVidia GPU failure. It's been working flawlessly, aside from getting really hot. I replaced the thermal compound several months ago and more recently helped the owner upgrade his RAM.
About a week ago, it decided not to turn on. I managed to get it working again after applying pressure on the keyboard, thinking the cable might have come loose. Eventually it started and was working fairly consistently, but a few days later he called me back and couldn't get it to start again. I removed the top case and inspected for loose cables, but everything looks clean and kosher. It doesn't even give me a blinking power LED to indicat error, but the power adapter LED goes on and off.
