MacBook Pro 9,2 — chimes then shuts down, won't boot
I've a Macbook Pro 9,2 A1278 Unibody mid 2012 that won't boot. When the power key is pressed, it chimes than almost immediately shuts down. It also doesn't wake when the lid is raised. Will chime when the powerblock is removed — with the lid down. Acts the same on either battery or block power.
I've tried to reset the nvram, boot to diagnostic mode, soft boot, boot from cd. It doesn't stay on long enough for any of those things to work. I've replaced the RAM with some other RAM to no effect.
Update (03/18/2017)
Update: Took it to an Apple store. They said it was the logic board. What doesn't make sense to me is that it chimes when the lid is closed, the power block is on and then removed. And Id've thought it wouldn't start at all if the logic board is involved.
Update (04/02/2017)
I undid all the connections to the logic board and it starts up with a chime and blue screen, then immediately shuts off. The screws for the RAM retainer were tight.

Machine was bought new in 2012. No problems until now. Hard drive never gave a problem. No liquid spills. I bumped the RAM up but have replaced it with the original RAM since this issue has begun. No video issues. Don't know how full the HD is but my daughter hasn't said anything about it being full.

I had that same problem with my old laptop, a 2011. I fixed it with a new HD. I was told it had something to do with the sleep wake sensor, but idk that the it was on the HD. Hopefully this helps
