[QUOTE="TJP, post: 849411, member: 37514"] Hey everyone, I have the previous version of the MBP, 17" HD Antiglare running Tiger. This was the version of the laptop that they let out right before Leopard I believe (All silver, more squared edges). I had a problem after I turned off the computer one night, only to have it not turn back on the next morning. After a while, I was able to get the 'turn on' sound to work correctly, but after that it felt as if the laptop wasn't even running. Nothing appeared on the screen, but I do not believe it was a screen issue as after the turn on sound came on, the laptop just seemed to die. I can usually hear it running, but it just stopped after that. It had problems taking in the discs that I put in and I would have to 'force eject' them. When hooked up to the power cord it acts as if it is still charging, because the light comes on on the cord. Tried doing all of the fixes, resetting everything etc. Finally I have taken it apart and have taken pictures of the hardware. I don't know much about it, so I'm not sure if you would be able to spot anything that is wrong. But any help is greatly appreciated.
