Why won't my A1261 boot after I replaced the hard drive?
My A1261 MacBook Pro 17" worked great until I decided to upgrade the hard drive. I changed the hard drive only. After I put it back together, I started it and all I got was noise from the super drive no chime no display. The sleep light in front goes bright and dim. Then there is a pop noise and it turns off.
I have tried all the resets. Still same problem. I put the old hard drive back in. Same problem. The ram wasn't touched. But I tested each stick separately. Same problem. I sure wish that I had left the hard drive alone.
Any thoughts?
Thank You,

Is this a good question?
