I just replaced the logic board, and all went fine, as far as I can tell. However, my new battery is still in transit, i.e: I do not have it at hand. My question is, how critical is it to have a battery in this model….given all the “do not remove battery or else” warnings. Is it OK to try to boot it just with the regular power supply? I do not want to fry my new logic board, so I need some informed opinion on this…
the device should boot with no battery connected. of course it will have no other power source than the charger so don’t unplug it…
