Title:

Will not boot, no startup sound, dead but charges battery

Text:

This is a 17" MBP A1212 2.44Mhz. There is no startup sound. Nothing happens when I press the power button. The MBP charges the battery. No chime, no light, no fan, complete silence. I tried the reset PMU, changed RAM to make sure and about every trick Mayer suggests on other similar topic. Have no idea where to start! Can it be the DC-in board even if the battery charges?

Device:

MacBook Pro 17" Models A1151 A1212 A1229 and A1261
