hi, i bought a macbook pro today it was stuck in the boot up screen, i opened the macbook and saw that the right thermal sensor connector was not there so it was not plugged in, if i buy a connector and solder it, will it boot up again, is it possible that the unplugged thermal sensor causes the freeze at boot up?
any help is appreciated
thank you very much

sorry for my bad english btw. i'm working on it:D
 
Don't take my word for it but I don't see why the MBP wouldn't boot because of a thermal sensor. Did you try a hardware test?

While booting hold command r to access recovery you can try to clean install the os, it might help
