replaced battery and still have problem starting
The only way I can get the computer to restart is by doing the following:
1) I hold down the shift key, control key, option key and power button for 10 seconds .
2) then I have to open up the case, remove the battery, replug it in, and then the computer restarts if I depress the power button after plugging the battery back in.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? This is the 2nd battery that I received from iFixit. Could it be a lemon or is it something more? (And, I don't think this is related, but I also replaced the HD with a 1TB Fusion drive (Toshiba). That was tested externally and it is fine.) (The battery charges okay but doens' last all that long, but recall this is a 2009 MacBook Pro.)
I am hesitant to ask iFixit to send me a 3rd battery but could that possibly be the issue- Please weigh in on this as it is a mystery to me! Thank you so much

Thank you for your response but the visual display nor Mag adapter is not the issue (brand new). I have tried all of those options and still have the problem... it charges fine, and I am typing on the computer as I write and using battery only. The problem is when I power down. After I power down, the only way this computer will restart is if I go through holding the keys shift, control, and option as well as the power button for 10 seconds. Then I have to open up the case, disconnect the battery, and then press the power button again, carefully screw the back back in and it will function via battery or electrical cord. But having to do that every time is ridiculous. I think the battery may be a lemon.
