MBP1,1 (A1150) won't start, no chime
I have a 2006 mbp1,1 core duo, 2ghz, 2gb ram, 160gb hd, with a broken screen that I have been using as a media server driving my 40" samsung via dvi/hdmi for the last two years.
It was having heat issues about 6-8 months ago (random freezing requiring hard restarts and lines of pixels dropping out) so I tore it down and cleaned the heatsinks and reapplied new thermal paste. Everything was working fine until yesterday.
It froze, and after a reboot it wont start, not even a chime. When I press the power button, I hear the optical drive, HD, fans spinning and the light on the front latch button is lit, but still no chime and nothing on screen. I have tried the following:
-Tried rebooting with and without power adapter and battery
-Reset PRAM
-Reset SMC
-Opened the case, confirmed the HD and fans were spinning
-Removed the HD, placed it in an external case, and checked it on my mbp5,5 - HD is fine
-Read through all the A1150 questions to see if anyone else had the same problem. Some were similar-ish, but none were spot on for my problem:
logic board replacement thread
logic board or I/O board thread
Everything in the case looks normal.
Anyone have any other ideas about what the problem might be? Just hoping the logic board hasn't finally died. Poor mbp has had a rough life, it was apparently thrown across a room at some point (hence the broken screen and the reason I got it for free) so it wouldn't surprise me, but if I can fix it cheaply and get a bit more use out of it before buying a mini to run the tv, i'll be happy.
Thanks in advance,
Imran
