A friend bought a used Wallstreet. It was running when she showed it to
him. Since then, it won't start. For a while it seemed to be in perpetual
sleep mode, but eventually stopped that and now is totally dead. The pram
battery tests good, and even with my fully charged main battery, and any of
several power supplies, it does nothing. Resets do nothing. Is this likely
the power/sound board, the pmu, or what? Ways to find out, other than
swapping in one board at a time? Anyone have schematics, or test procedures
for these? Thanks.
Try this:
Pull the battery
Disconnect power
Hit the start button.
This may give you a GLOD (Green Light of Death)
Connect power
Hit start button
If it starts to boot okay then insert the battery.
If it doesn't try the PM reset (Shift-Function-Ctrl-Power).
