Battery and HDD were removed before any measurements were made. I measured the following voltage rails and important nets.

Attach magsafe power cable, continuing the hold down power button.Disconnect magsafe power cable (no battery either).To power on the board without the battery installed, I do the following (not sure what this procedure is called): To be honest the logic board looks quite pristine for its age. I did a visual inspection of the logic board but I could not find any evidence of liquid damage or any obvious corrosion or damage.

Specifications: MacBook Pro 15" late 2008 Model A1286 Logic board part number 820-2532-A Symptoms: no chime, no video, white front power LED lit, green magsafe LED lit, DVD drive spins up, battery power indicator working. Even just trying to find a schematic and boardview (component locations) files for Apple products is a real pain. I know that most people on this forum either don't use Apple laptops or likely haven't tried repairing one before, but I figured I'd try asking here since most other Apple repair communities online require a paid subscription to get help or post on their forum boards. I am trying to repair an old MacBook Pro which I acquired that does not boot.
