MacBook Pro Logic Board Failure

I was using my computer just fine (2007 MBP core 2 duo) all day. Put it to sleep came back after 30 minutes and tried to wake it and it's dead. I held down the power key to shut it down then tried to restart no luck. No start up chime, no screen, keyboard seems dead as well (caps lock light does not light up), HD does not start up. The only signs of life are the white light on the screen latch that is now on, the fans are spinning and the DVD drive seems to work.

Reset the power management module and zapped the PRAM, no luck.

MBP 2007 Core 2 duo 2.2, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

Update -- someone who has had multiple failures here in the US needs to file a lawsuit.

I have only had one failure, but it was only two years after original purchase. I lost work time (as I work online) and this seems to be a well documented case -- now.


Apple should take a cue from GM and realize that eventually, people will start talking to each other and eventually to lawyers.


Since they keep records of repairs (hopefully!), it is a out and out lie that there is no evidence of an ongoing problem with this component.

You two need to take this someplace else before you get reported for filling our inboxes with your petty differences.

Most of the past 20 posts from both of you have nothing to do with the original discussion.

Turn your notifications off, telling others what they should to alleviate your issue isn't going to work.

so you are saying that because you are inconsiderate, I should have to miss the legitimate posts relating to a topic I am interested in?


I think it is time to investigate reporting your mis use of this forum, since I have not desire to load other legitimate posters mailboxes with drivel from me.


If you have anything helpful to contribute to the actual discussion of logic boards in MBP's, then by all means do so, but do not insult me by suggesting that I let a bully like you dictate that I cannot receive legitimate notifications regarding this disucssion without having to deal with your childishness.

No,


I am saying that if you don't want to receive notifications there is an off switch.


The rest is up to you.


Have a nice one 🙂

When you have helped enough other users you will be able to do that for yourself, but you are not there yet. Until then you'll have to hope that someone else does it for you.

Quite.

bloccato nuovamente, all'improvviso. Prima che si potesse bloccare ho fatto il backup e scaricato gli aggiornamenti di OSX 10.9.3 ieri sera tutto regolare, anche questa mattina, ma senza nessun motivo qualche ora fa schermo nero, riavviando schermo bianco/grigio senza nessuna possibilità, tutta la pulizia sulla logic board con detergente e pasta termica sul processore e scheda grafica non è servito a niente, non tenterò nemmeno i vari avvi tramite sequenza di tasti che consigliano tanto è inutile. APPLE fate una campagna di ritiro è un problema vostro!
