That's probably all i've got time for tonight, sorry!
The machine does appear to have a hardware fault. When plugged in, the power board appears OK - the light illuminates green without a battery and charages/glows orange with the flat battery installed (which has gone up to 5 lights after 1 hr charging - we shall see).
I've tried so far:
- Connecting the top case and pressing the power button
- Running without a battery
- Running from a charged battery
- PRAM reset
- PMU reset
- PRAM reset for 2 minutes
- booting with out the RAM to see if i get some beeps (nope, nothing)
No success yet.
