Selling Broken Macbook
Is it safe to sell a MacBook pro with a dead logic board or is there way to delete my data from that laptop if there is no way for me to physically turn it on?

If your MacBook Pro has a dead logic board, it may still contain your personal data. It is not safe to sell it without first removing your data.
If you cannot turn on your MacBook Pro, you can still remove your data by removing the hard drive and destroying it or using a data erasure tool to wipe the drive. You can also take the MacBook Pro to an authorized Apple service provider and request that they remove the hard drive and return it to you.
It is important to take steps to protect your personal data before selling or disposing of any device that may contain it.
