[QUOTE="Queensgate555, post: 1573213, member: 293407"] The Mac Book is an A1150 (2006 "Glossy") model, the drives are, Super 867CA - 678-0563, Super 857CA - 678-0557A and, DVDRW S10NA 678-0565B Not coincidentally, as I have three drives, I have the three chassis that they mounted in; none of the service tags stated anything wrong with the DVD Drives when they were pulled from service. The repair person who 'Gifted' me with these chassis mentioned something about the "Ambient Light Senor" located in the upper left hand corner of the logic board having something to do with the "POSt" procedure of the MBP; if that is not in the right state, it will not allow the machine to power on. Can anyone confirm this? Anyway, all of the sensors on the three boards have different wires and connectors so I cannot substitute. I am a long time "Windows Mechanic" and there was always another machine I could throw a part into to test out but, I do not have that freedom working on MacBooks. Any advice on testing drives or trouble shooting why this unit doesn't work with the drive installed? . [/QUOTE]
