Original problem
Our friend AG has a MacBook, ~2007, that didn't turn on. Battery didn't charge. Screen was black.
Steps to recovery
- Reset PRAM
- not helping, since power button doesn't work.
- Attach external keyboard, press power
- Not working.
- Resetting SMC by detaching battery, detaching power, pressing power button for 5 s
- Nothing.
- Removing extra memory
- Yay! Well, something, since now the power button is responsive, but not the rest of the keyboard. Caps lock isn't working, FireWire Target Mode isn't. PRAM reset is now working, but not helping.
- Starting with Leopard install DVD
- Disk taken in, spun, but not much action. At least none on the screen
Next steps
- Attach external keyboard again
- See if key combos like PRAM zap or Target Disk Mode work.
- Attach an external monitor
- Jiggle cords
- Requires going further into innards.
