how to turn on macbook with broken power button mid 2007

So let’s discuss how to boot an older MacBook Pro when there is no battery present at all.

Of course if you happen to have a replacement battery then you can typically just replace the missing battery with a working battery and the MacBook Pro will boot, but that is not always an option. It turns out that some model year MacBook Pro computers will not boot with a simple power button press after the battery has been physically removed or disconnected. They will find it's not repairable in-store and will mail it out for a new board.In this situation, if a battery is removed or totally dead and you attempt to start the MacBook Pro, nothing happens – there is no sound, no system boot, no startup chime, nothing. So, long story short, bring your computer to the Apple store (I know, I know) and have them run a hardware diagnosis on it. After a bunch of kernel panics over a month or two, it seems that everything led back to the brain and fried the logic board. It's important to note that I was using a 3rd-party external monitor most of the time, which is apparently linked to kernel panics (due to the resolution settings confusing the computer and it freaking out).Īll-in-all the kernel panic is what shuts down your Macbook sporadically, and can be linked to tons of different things.

Also, I left the battery charging too long, too often, and killed that too. Then my fan started running constantly, and the case was extremely hot to the touch. Apparently even thought it seemingly worked fine for a few years, it was slowly racking up read/write errors, causing the processor to get bogged down. Ultimately it was a long chain of unfortunate events, starting with my HDD. I ended up having to send my Mid-2009 Unibody 17' MacBook Pro back to the manufacturer to have the logic board replaced.
