Hello, I just got this late 08 macbook pro for a trade... further on i really need help
This macbook has a bizarre boot process
1. it only turns on when its plugged up and by pressing the power (wont turn on without the charger)
2. Its Also turn on by itself when unplugging the charger(no need to press the power button)
3. it shuts down by removing charger when its booted by charger and power button
4. doesnt shut down when booted by charger+remove
5. battery has life (i can use it without the charger)
6. i tried all the smc etc basic stuff already
