This came in 3 days ago as a "It wont turn on" repair, after removing the back cover I find its very dusty, I take out the board and give it all a good clean. put the board back together and it boots and runs perfectly.
The next day I try to turn it on ,,,nothing . I remove the battery connector and connect magsafe nothing, I I try SMC bypass and it boots. I close down the mac and the for the entire day when checking at random times it turns on and switches off perfectly both from battery alone or with magasafe connected.
I try it this morning and its working perfect. I call for them to come and collect and moments before they arrive I hit the power button for one last test and nothing, wont power on. I had to once again remove battery, start in SMC bypass then shutdown now its fine again..
I've held onto it to try and figure this out but cant seem to see anything wrong on the board. could this be battery related? Ive checked the battery status and its reading as GOOD and only 350 cycles.
ran diagnostics and it came up good.
have you seen this behavior before?
