power pads getting current but no boot
Problem:
- MB a1342 is not starting, nothing happens when the power button is pushed
Symptoms:
- magsafe led goes from green to orange and stays orange
- battery is charging as:
- I'm measuring 3.39v on one of the powerpads, 0v on the other, both on battery and on magsafe power
- when i bridge the pads, nothing happens (with or without keyboard cable inserted into logic board)
- SMC reset using <shift-ctrl-option-power> seems to work as magsafe led changes briefly to green, then back to orange
Any ideas what to do next, before I attempt to bake the logic board (which I've done before with and without succes :-) ?
Is this a good question?
