Is the motherboard fried?
I am troubleshooting a Macbook Pro. It is a 13". I think it is the late 2012 model, but I don't have it on me for refernce right now and I don't think it is relevant.
I have alot of experience with computers but not alot with macs so I just want to see if I have overlooked something stupid.
I'm pretty sure the motherboard is fried. It will not boot. I tried holding d while booting to run the hardware test. This starts but then hangs partway through and eventually the computer turns off. I tried reinstalling the os both through the network and through a bootable usb but neither option works. I can select the proper drive but then the laptop shuts down again. Also at certain points when I have tried to boot up I get a folder with a question mark instead of a mac symbol. Also once I got a kernal panic which said something about memory. I should have written it down because I could not replicate it.
I know it is not the hdd or the ram. I know this because I removed them both one at a time and put them in a different MBP, where they worked just fine. Also I took the working hdd and ram from the second MBP and put them, one at a time in the malfunctioning one. Nothing worked.
So what I want to know is this: Is the motherboard fried? Or have I missed something. Thanks.
