Suspected MacBook Pro logic board failure
My 15" late-2010 MacBook Pro just went AWOL.
Just prior to a sudden shutdown which reset the date to 2001, the MagSafe connector was playing up and electrical vibrations came through the aluminium unibody. The vibrations in particular have never been unusual, but it might be more than coincidence. No liquid spills could have caused this, the MacBook did it by itself as I watched some TV. Symptoms: - No LED on the MagSafe connector. - No backlight on keyboard. - Full speed fans (clearly can't detect temps). - "No batteries available" on battery icon. - iStat Menus can't read anything. - Does not sleep on screen closure. Apparently this has turned out to be a common issue, and one supposed method of repair was a SMC reboot which has changed nothing. The laptop is still working fine other than said symptoms but I suspect the battery isn't charging. Is the only thing to do, to call up Apple and send it away for a costly repair? Anybody else hear of this issue? Cheers guys.

You could try with another MagSafe connector, but yes, it does look like the motherboard is done for.
