Oct 7, 2014 4:12 AM in response to lllaassby romfeo,I've tried everything including SMC rreset. No luck.
One other clue is that if try to boot up without Ram installed, it recognizes that ram is missing and beeps
so to summarize the symptoms:
1. Computer has power
2. No chime sound or any other beep when I power the computer on
3. Fan works at full speed
4. No output display signal
5. I can hear the hard drive powering on
6. The computer recognizes if you try to boot it without ram and beeps

Sep 20, 2015 10:14 AM in response to thomasibyby tassosfrom,The problem was in the motherboard. 3 different services said that it was unrepairable. I am managed to solve the problem myself with reflowing the motherboard. Baked it in the oven for 10 minutes at 180 Celcius... Managed to save 400 Euros that was asked from me for a new motherboard!

Sep 20, 2015 10:33 AM in response to tassosfromby lllaass,Did you have to remove anything fro the logic board before baking? I am asking in order to provide details for other Mac users with the same problem in the future.

Sep 20, 2015 10:57 AM in response to lllaassby tassosfrom,I've only removed everything I could unscrew. I was luck not to damage the cpu or any other chip... I was also lucky not to have any cables or plastics melt... I think 180 celcius for 10 minutes is a good combination. The oven was preheated. Of course, I've left the logic board to cool down, before testing it.
