MacBook won’t power on and got super hot

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

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.
