If it was running before you replaced the fan and DC-in board and you replaced the DC-in board, then look to the change you made. Recheck your installation of the DC-IN port, test it with a multimeter. If the old port will work at all, give it a try. Next check your keyboard connection to the logic board, you may not be getting a start signal.

Here's a multimeter that will do. First thing I would do is check your model number vs the part number for that machine and what you received. Digital Multimeter
