Power It Directly From The Motherboard Macbook Pro 15 Unibody Late 2008 And Early 2009

Chosen Solution

Hey guys! I have a MacBook Pro A1286 - 2009 and I want to power it directly to the logic board with a normal laptop charger.I’ve analyzed the schematics and I cannot find a blank pin where I can solder the power wires directly.

I think you are far lees likely to fail if you do your connection via the the DC-IN board: MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Late 2008 and Early 2009 DC-In Board Replacement and there’s much less of a chance of damaging the expensive logic board: MacBook Pro 15" Unibody (Late 2008-Early 2009) MagSafe DC-In Board
