How can I tell if the logic board is bad?
Now when I push the power button I don't hear or see anything except when there is complete silence in the room I can hear a very quiet hum which I believe is the hard drive. A few months back I had to replace the hard drive because it was clicking and couldn't be revived.
I have removed the battery for 5 hours, held down the power button for 5 seconds, replaced the battery, plugged in the power and still I get nothing. The only way I can tell the hard drive is spinning is because when I hold the power button again I can hear it spin down.
Could it be anything but the logic board? How can I tell it is the logic board?
I have been unemployed for almost a year so I am not in a position to spend money at apple on this.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
