[QUOTE="Ab.Hasham, post: 1480653, member: 287295"] It happened about 18 months ago, I had boot camp on my Early 2008 MBP 15" 2.53GHz. I restarted from Windows 7 to OS X Snow Leopard and that is when the trouble began. It did not start in OS X. The breather light on the latch opener switches on but the rest of the MBP does not start up. No sound of fans, the LCD remains dim. Apple service center diagnosed as dead logic board a replacement which costs $750! There was no damage due to liquids, no over heating (fans were replaced by Apple Service Center 6 months before this incident) and my MBP was always on my study table where foods, drinks were forbidden and dust was daily wiped off. Indeed there are so many possibilities for the logic board to fail, no point in asking why, but is there a way to repair a dead logic board? I work with an IT company and I myself have some technical know how of IT but I cant find an alternate solution. [/QUOTE]
