Hey guys! I have a MacBook Pro and it was working a few days ago, however today when I tried to use it, it wouldn’t show anything on the screen, plugged in the charger waited a few minutes and nothing. After that I tried resenting the SMC, and I could see the light go from orange to green and then orange again, but still nothing. I could hear some really light noises for a moment when I pressed the power after the SMC reset but nothing. I left it charging and after a few hours when I came to check, the LED was green but the MacBook was super hot. I have now taken it out of the charger and used some fans to cool it off and keep it cool. I would like to remind that I have personally changed the screen of this laptop 2 years ago, and one month ago I cleaned all fans and replaced the thermal paste and the MBP was working fine however the battery was already pretty depleted for a year now and would only hold charge for 2 hours, with sometimes the MBP turning off at 15%. I am currently in the US in vacations and don’t have my ifixit toolkit here.
I don’t think it’s your battery nor the screen have you tried resetting the PRAM ? do you have any boot manager or EFI modifications programme install with your administrator account ? or have you recently dual boot a different OS ? try all of the above, and if it’s to no avail try pressing and holding down cntr + s when you notice any sign of response after pressing the power button that should try placing your macintosh to default startup behaviour hope one of these help fix your problems cheers mate
Since you’re here in the states why don’t you order the needed replacement battery as shipping can be tricky depending where you hail from! I think you need to start off with a good battery. I would hold off charging it any more as you don’t want to damage the system.
