I think my 2010 15" MBP logic board is fried
I pulled my laptop out of my backpack a few weeks back and it would not power up. It’s a mid 2010 15” Unibody i7 2.66 GHz with 8GB RAM and two SSDs (1.5TB total).
When I press the power button:
- I don’t hear fan spin up
- The screen backlight does not turn on.
- There is no boot chime
- The status indicator light on the front of the top cover does, in fact, turn on.
- Magsafe turns green and then amber when battery is connected. When the battery is disconnected it is only green.
With the case open, I have been able to get the fans to spin by disconnecting the battery and first pressing the power button, then plugging the magsafe in. I don’t think I’ve been able to reset the PRAM and SMC successfully as it doesn’t seem to get past post. Also, I hooked the laptop.
I’m not a logic board repair person by any means, but I’m thinking maybe the thermal paste on the GPU and CPU needed replacement and those components may have overheated. I noticed the laptop got pretty warm before this failure happened.
Any and all help is appreciated.
