Chosen Solution
Hi everybody, I have a big problem with my macbook pro. At first it won’t power up, led was continuosly blinking and the mac was restarting with no video, I disassembly it and start testing some things and I reallized that with the touchpad disconnected the mac powers up and boots normally, but the keyboard don’t work, I used an external keyboard and it works but the mac was really slow, like freezing for some seconds and then continue to work, I try an SMC reset and it does the process, so my keyboard sould be working and also reset PRAM and it does it too. I took the logic board out and I clean it and take a close look at the whole board and nothing looks bad, no water damage, no corrosion. Also it gave me the “your computer has restarted because of a problem” screen and the it boots normally. I try another touchpad too and it wont power up. Only with the touchpad connector plugged in the logic board and disconnected from the touchpad the mac wont power on fully. Any ideas here? thank you in advanced
I’m going to assume you replaced the Trackpad plate alone
Vs replacing the cable assembly
Which is where the trackpads electronics sit. If that is what you did then you haven’t replaced the damaged part which is the cable end.
