MacBook Pro won't boot anymore after a fall I have an old MacBook Pro (late 2006) and he won't boot anymore. He fell down the table and ever since, he's not working anymore. When I try to boot him, the hard drive and the fans starts spinning, but after a few seconds everything is shut down with a "loud" click.

Here is what I've tried:


Reinsert the Ram
Replacing the RAM with new ones
Used the RAM in another Mac, works just fine
Unchained the hard drive and used an other one
Used the hard drive in another Mac and PC, works just fine
Resetting everything you can (PRAM, SMC,...)


Calling Apple Support won't do much since the warranty has expired like 4 years ago. 

What I'm afraid of, is a broken motherboard or graphic card (which I don't know how to test this). What are you thinking of when you read this story and what do you think I can do about it?
I think the best thing to do to rescue whatever you can (RAM, harddrive, Bluetooth chips, WiFi antenna,...) and sell them. By so, you have a little start up budget for your new Mac (which you gonna have to buy anyway!)

If you don't know how to get all those things out, you can try one of the tutorials at iFixit.
