[QUOTE="MrAngel, post: 949987, member: 132943"] Thats ok, i understand your point:Smirk: It is nothing to worry about on my side, since I am more than familiar with hardware manipulating, and that MACbook pro, I have problem with, is out of guarantee period too. Two local apple stores said motherboard logic is "dead", which I dont believe to, since I SEE how that overal system is functioning at the moment. The new logic board costs around 600$-800$ so I decided myself to do a small investigation BEFORE replacing. Probably I have to describe my problem more carefuly. Let me try: My macbook model is A1260 with the following specs: MacBook Pro 15", Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz Penryn, 2Gb. The problem occured after I did a "force shutdown", 10secs on the power button. Next time then I came back it wont boot up. And a little more information: AFAIR I had the similar problem before, but it disappear at the same day. At that moment then I push and release powerbutton it trying to start, but does shutdown in a very small amount of time. Sometimes it even not possible see if it turnes on at all. The next thing is, IF I push and dont release my finger from the power button, it starts booting normaly, but at the very late moment front tiny-light starts blinking and the whole system shutsdown again. I did some manipulations already like: 1. Clear/reset using key combinations/hotkeys 2. Memory manipulation. If no memory at all - IT STARTS BOOTING NORMALY!!! and does "no memory" error sound 3. Disconnected HDD 4. Disconnected DVD drive 5. Disconnected all connectors on the board except: FAN's, display, keyboard, power connector, and one more hudge connector which is i dont know what is that for yet. I found similar problems on the apple forums too.
