I've got a bit of a conundrum on my hands today. I came back from Spring Break this morning and started getting my classroom back up and running. Before break, I took the 15" Late 2008 MBP that I use to remote into other computers off its cart, shut it down, unplugged it, and stuck it in a drawer for the week. Little bugger has worked fine for years now. When I put it back this morning, no power. MagSafe light turns on, battery lights on the side turn on to show that the battery is full, but there are zero signs of life from it. I pulled the battery and power, held down the power button for a while since that's jostled it back to life before, no dice. Pulled the back off and tried the power pads on the logic board, no dice. Pulled the RAM, no dice. Little bugger is seemingly completely dead to the world. Same difference with and without its battery, which does work fine.
Machine was working fine before break, and all it did over break was sit in a drawer in an air-conditioned classroom.
Any ideas where would be best to go from here? I haven't ever had this little bugger just up and die this hardcore before.
