Starts up for 1 second then shuts off .. logic board problem or drive?
So my MacBook Pro will not turn on. When you hit the power button, you hear a quick whirl and 1 second later it shuts down. Too quick to get anything on the screen, literally just one second it tries to power up and off. Power cord connected, battery charged. So I wonder .. is it the hard drive or the logic board. I can't even reset PRAM or anything because it won't stay on long enough to use key combos to set it up. I am going to try to put my other mac in target disk mode and try to extract things from the dead MacBook Pro hard drive but it wont turn on to even make it a slave. Can I get things off the hard drive if the computer won't turn on. Any ideas guys/gals? 😕
