MacBook Pro doesn't start after changing HDD
Hi guys,
I recently changed my HDD to another one in order to sell the MacBook.
After that it doesn't turn on anymore.
The only thing happening is that the white light turns on for a few seconds, then it goes off only to go on again. In this process the fan, the superdrive and the hdd make noises, so this isn't the problem, i think. This happens repeatedly until I shut it off completely with holding the power button.
I tried to rest the SMC, NVRAM an so on. Nothing helped. I also tried it without the HDD, with the old HDD also tried it without the RAM.
Anyone knows the Problem? May it be the Logic board? I am a student, so I don't have the money to replace it or even buyour a new Macbook.
I hope someone can help me.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Was the system working before you started?
Where you having any problems with the system before you started?
So all you did was open the system, disconnected the drive cable and just swapped the drive? Correct?
Can you give us information on the drive (make and model)

To be completely, before it all f***** up, I had MacOS 10.11 and Windows 10 on my 1 TB hard drive. It all worked fine. I then installed OS 10.11 to a 300 GB external drive and started it once (from USB). It worked fine.
Then I installed the hard drive an it looked to work. OS X was booting. But right before it was completely booted the MacBook shutted itself off.
To answer your question, I opened the system, disconnected the battery, disconnected drive cable and swapped the drive.
Also, the behaviour described in my first post seem to change from time to time. Sometimes it is like I described, sometimes it starts, shutting off after a few seconds and then it starts but no chime, black screen and the fan is constantly running.

And ... what is the make & model of the drive you put in

It's an WD3200BEKT - 75KA9T0 from Western Digital.
I think it's the drive it came with but i'm not sure cause I bought it used a couple of years ago.
