Is my MacBook Pro dead?
Apple MacBook Pro "Core 2 Duo" 2.8 17" Mid-2009 Specs
Identifiers: Mid-2009 17" - MC226LL/A* - MacBookPro5,2 - A1297 - 2329*
Thanks to forgive my approximate English, I'm French.
My Mbp 17" mid 2009 (A1297) doesn't start, the magsafe has the green light or orange when the battery is a bit empty, the lights on the battery say that it's charged, it had no accident like liquid spill and it didn't fall.
Those last months it started with some difficulty, I had to reset the SMC a few times before it would start, but it worked. And this time it didn't start up, it seems that there is no power.
I've tried every trick I found on the net and on Ifixit : reset the SMC, by-pass the SMC, tried to startup with the pads.
When I reset the SMC, the magsafe which is orange before becomes green for a few seconds and goes back to orange, so it seems that the SMC works !
I tried 2 magsafe, they both work.
Unfortunately I have no other battery to check and I'de like to avoid to buy a new one just to check and find that the problem is in the motherboard, because this battery seems to work, the leds light up when I push the button, and if I leave it connected after 1 day or 2 there are less leds working.
I don't know what else to try, anyone would have an idea ?
Thanks for your answers.

Do you get any lights or sounds when trying to start up?

Nothing happens, no light, no sound, as if there was no power at all !!

Do you have the resources (tools and skills) to measure power lines on your logicboard?

Hello I have a multimeter but not yet the skills, I'm checking on the net how to get them.

Give us the number of your logic board. Should be a 820-XXXX printed on the board.
