MacBook Pro shut off and won't come back on

[war eagle]

I was in windows installing iTunes and my computer cut off with no warning. I have swapped hard drive, reseated the ram and everything. I have a 2008 unibody Mbp the first one that came out.

What could possibly be wrong with it?

Have you tried any of these steps?

Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on​

Do you still have warranty?

Does the MBP smell strange, like something burned?

I've tried those things. Swapped the hard drive, reseated the ram, everything. No weird smells but I do remember being in Windows and the fans running pretty hard. Now when I try to cut it on I think I hear a faint click that is with the back cover removed. No pulsing light on the front or anything.

Think the logic board is gone in this thing? If so, do I have to replace it with the same one or can I get a newer one?

You'll have to get the same logicboard, you can't use a newer one.

It turned out to be the battery. Thank goodness.
