MBP dead after being smashed on the keyboard.
I have a Macbook Pro A1150 which is now a brick after being smashed on the keyboard/trackpad when I dropped a maglight on it. It instantly went black, and hasn't shown any signs of life since. Even the charge light is out.
I imagined that the logic board was probably cracked, but I just removed the upper case and I can't see any obvious damage.
Anybody have a guess what part is most likely to have been damaged? I'm not sure where to start.
Cette question est-elle utile ?

I put the upper case back on again. Now the charge light shows orange. Unfortunately, the battery lights don't show any charging. I left it a few hours and then tried to power it up. No luck.

A somewhat more careful examination of the battery lights revealed that briefly after the AC adapter is connected the battery indicates charging. These lights then fade to blank.

"very interesting", what do you think it means?

My guess is that the signal that the AC has been attached is getting to the battery, but no actual charging current is getting through. Thus the battery briefly lights up until it depletes its surface charge and then goes dim again.
This suggests that *at least* the left IO board is dead.

Took it to the genius bar today. They stuck in a better battery. No effect. He took it in back and reseated the memory (already tried that). No effect.
Apple offers a $310 + tax flat-rate repair service assuming there is no obvious mechanical damage (at which point the price goes up) but I didn't see any when I opened it.
Boy, Apple is awfully good at finding price points, this is almost exactly slightly more than I was hoping I was gonna wind up spending on this thing.
