Fast Fan Spin - No Boot Chime - No Display

A1278 2012 MB Pro 13"

OK where to start..... Unit powers up but that is it,No boot, no sound from the DVD drive, nothing, only a fast fan spin after a few seconds.

1 - Connected to power supply with the battery connected the fan starts spinning, after a few seconds at full speed. Nothing else happening (There is only a white light on at the SSD for the sleep thing).

2- Connected to power supply with the battery connected and OPT+CTRL+P+R the fan starts spinning, after a few seconds at full speed. Nothing else happening (There is only a white light on at the SSD for the sleep thing).

3 - Connected to power supply with the battery disconnected the fan starts spinning, after a few seconds at full speed. Nothing else happening (There is only a white light on at the SSD for the sleep thing).

4- Connected to power supply with the battery disconnected and OPT+CTRL+P+R the fan starts spinning, after a few seconds at full speed. Nothing else happening (There is only a white light on at the SSD for the sleep thing).

Resetting NVRAM cannot do, no effect with the battery light changing colors etc)

Tried a NEW SSD with a Fresh Install, Tried an SSD with OS installed.

Tried booting with nothing connected. Tried with external display.

Tried booting with no RAM. Pressed power button for 30 seconds for SMC reset.

Tried with 4 different batteries and 4 known working screens.

Also with 4 different shells with working keyboards and SATA cables etc.

So we can rule out all of the above for faulty components. Tried everything.

So there must be a problem on the board that is stopping the chime and display coming on. We have tested the display connector and rails all seems good.

The board looks good under the microscope, so where to test for the rail that manages the boot sequence? I have 2 boards showing similar characteristics.

Fan spins then nothing only the fan spins. Driving me insane.

OFF TOPIC to any pro fixer. There is nobody who I can trust or is capable to repair these where I am so if anyone wants to fix 7 or 8 logic boards MBP 2012 & MB Air 2014-17 that I will gladly send them to you if the price is right. Some can be fixed and some maybe not. I have far to many sidelined units & spares here for comfort.

UPDATE: It suddenly has a very faint chime probably dud to a bad speaker, but the screen which is a day old and only installed for this unit now shows only white which fades as the progress bar would be then to dimmer when you can put a password.... stays like that on wards.... It looks like it didn't like the new screen and has a developed some sort of graphic issue....

Hey there @livfe! I'll be happy to help!

So, this is a setting which I call Disabled SMC (I don't think that is the proper name). If you press and hold the power button and then connect either the power adapter or the battery, SMC will disable. So, the fan will spin extremely high, but the Mac will still boot. While the SMC is disabled, you cannot see battery information / power adapter information, nor can you close the lid to sleep (absolutely nothing will happen). I run Disabled SMC when I am diagnosing a power issue.

Now, that is what seems to be going on. I am sure you are not holding the power button while connecting the battery, so here's what to do...

1) Disconnect the keyboard and try again (because the keyboard / keyboard connector on the logic board may be faulty).

2) Check the Heat Sink (sometimes the thermal sensors can mess up and tell the logic board that the Mac is on fire).

3) Try disabling SMC (holding the power button while connecting the battery or power adapter and then start up) and see if you get different results.

4) Try a different logic board (if all else fails, the logic board is probably shot).

I hope that gives you an idea where to go. Best of luck!
