Does this happen on mid 2010 macbook pros? because mine just randomly went out one day. I was just surfing reddit and the computer shut off unexpectedly, and when I would try to turn it back on, it would just run the fan and hard drive then click off. What would you say is the cause of this?

The genius bar said I would need anew logic board and it would cost around $800.00 to fix that (parts and labor i guess) I found out that I could replace it myself, so I did. When I brought it to the genius bar the tech checked if the new logic board was good and he said that it wasnt. Could a bad sata cable be the cause of this?

Yah i have moved on since, but the mac sits in my closet and i just want to get it up and running cause I hate having a broken $1,500 paper weight. The hard drive worked as a storage device for my windows computer, so the hard drive does work, I just wish i could get a for sure working mbp logic board.
