#2010 MACBOOK PRO 13 LOGIC BOARD PROCESSOR REPLACEMENT INSTALL#

Tried to insert original system install disk and boot from that, all to no avail.Īfter going through the Apple Support boards, I could not determine a culprit and since there are no Apple Stores closer than the 330 miles to Seattle yet (soon in Spokane I hear), I resorted to taking my system to the only certified Apple Repair shop in Spokane. I tried all the start-up key combinations to start in safe-mode, reset PRAM, start diagnosis-nothing worked.

While I could hear the hard drive spin up and the optical drive go through its start-up whirrings, there was no start-up chime and no effort to display anything on screen. After powering it down, I tried to start it back up. After futilely trying to wake it by varying degrees of banging on random keys and quickly pressing the power button I waited several minutes before I committed to powering it down. The next morning I noticed that the glowing power light on the latch release was off and thought it strange and then went to open and wake it and nothing happened. I also needed to get this post up before I forgot most of the details.Īs a little background, I put my MBP (17″ 2.5GHz-early 2008, Model A1261 to be exact for you that are searching) to sleep by closing it up for the night, which I’ve done for the past 2+ years with no problems. Well, it’s taken me a little while to get this post up-not to mention the fact that its taken me a long while to get any posts up-but I thought this one was worth it just as an encouragement for anyone else who might be dealing with a fried MacBook Pro logic board that is out of the AppleCare warranty coverage.
