Hey all
I have a macbook pro model a1226 that I bought used for really cheap . It was not working when i got it . I do this for a living and laptop repair is nothing new to me , however macbooks are. So here is what is happening with it I hope someone cant help me figure this out.
It will only boot if i do a smc resett on it by holding down the power button for about 5 seconds then plugging in the magsafe , however the green light does not light up then and if i unplug it it is unresponcive again till i do the power button thing again. When i do unplug and plug it back in the magsafe light turns green but no responce from power button.
I have replaced the magsafe board and the power adaptor along with trying the pram and nvram reset. But the only way it will boot is by holding the pwer button down and unplugging it then plugging back in. Im not beyond buying a new logic board if need be but i would think that if the board was bad it wouldnt boot at all. I can get online and every thing runs normal when it is running other than the fans seem to run fast. Any one know if im missing something here or is a new logic board what it needs.
