I'm not sure I understand. Your symptoms point to a dead logic board, but what are you attempting with USB?

Grasping at straws here...

You could try removing the battery, unplugging the power, and letting it sit for 24 hours and see if that brings it back to life.

I assume you're not getting the startup chime? If you are, there are other steps we could offer.

Have you considered it may not be getting enough power? Do you have access to another power adapter to try? Try it without the battery installed.

Unfortunately if the logic board is bad the USB ports most likely will be dead. Ralph
