Hi!

I just get a 15" 2011 MBP, not working.

I found that he only turns on, when I plug the baterry or magsafe.
I get the chime, white scree, fans working at normal speed, and then he turns off.
I do a research and found that the problem could be a keyboard problem.
So I disconnect the flex in the motherboard and now he boots and don´t turn off.

But after some time, he stop with the "No Bootable device...." error on a black screen.

I try to boot with a USB Pen with a MacOS install, a Pen with Linux; SSD with Sierra(with dGPU disable by software).
I try internally and externaly(USB).
I try also with my Dell usb keyboard connect.

Always the same error....

Should I "forget him" or is anything else I should try?

(I have 2 more A1286, so a "chinese" keyboard was not a total loss.)

Thanks
