Macbook Pro Will Not Turn On Following Self-Repairs!
Hi Everyone.
I have a Mid-2009 Macbook Pro 13" and a few of my keys stopped working (took it to Apple and was told I needed to replace the entire Top Case (about $200)). I also have a problematic trackpad (doesn't click) and need a new battery. Being a desperately broke student, I can't really afford to make major repairs through Apple and can't buy a new laptop. Anyways, I met a girl at the Apple store who told me her laptop crashed (also a Mid-2009 model) but the battery, trackpad and keyboard were functioning perfectly. So, I ended up buying the entire laptop off her for $50 (but she took the hard-drive).
These are the steps I took:
1) I put my hard-drive into the newly purchased Macbook Pro, it turned on but did not boot (went through many steps and arrived at the conclusion based on others with similar problems that it was a logic board problem).
2) I removed the logic board from the new Macbook Pro and replaced it with the logic board from my macbook pro. I followed every instruction carefully according to iFixIt self-repair guide...
3) I try turning on the new Macbook Pro but the power button simply does not respond when I try to turn it on....
Any ideas????
