MacBook doesn’t power on unless the smc is bypassed
i bought a used macbook pro 15" mid 2010 on ebay a few days ago, it only boots when i do the smc bypass trick where you hold the power button while plugging it in, if i reset the smc it doesn’t boot. trying to power it on normally does absolutely nothing, fans dont spin or anything but the charging led does turn on.
EDIT (12/14/2022)
i think i could've found the problem, the battery in the macbook pro is dead, and i only have a 60w charger, and not the normal 85w charger. could this be why it wont boot when i press the power button? because it DOES shut off if i do anything that would be power consuming if i boot it with the smc bypassed.
Is dit een goede vraag?
