(but with an accepted answer that didnt work for me i need a new question)
However, mine has not resolved by the answer given. I have seen other similar questions and done a lot of reading but having tried those solutions, I am still no further along.
My laptop had a new ifixit battery, fitted my me, and it all went swimmingly according to the instructions and rebooted fine after the repair and was great. I shut it down later that day after use and since then, its not been able to boot unless i disconnect and reconnect the new battery - then it boots fine. I have tried this lots of times and done various keystrokes to try and get RAM to reset etc, but its consistently a problem. No beeps, no fan, no noise or sign of life of any kind, except the light on the charger, which goes green when its charged, and goes green when you press the power button to try and turn it on.
Research tells me it could well be a new logic board, but im lacking a way to diagnose whether this is the case before spending the cash (the money isnt an issue if i know its likely to work!). I have contacted local repair places and nobody inspired enough trust for me to hand over my laptop, for various reasons. Im out of options.
Can anyone else please advise how to fix, diagnose ... or anything about this issue? I would really REALLY appreciate your time and help on this

Hi Dan,

Thanks so much for your reply on this, im at my wits end, snd sorry for the delay in getting back, work drama and being away maybe wasn't the best time to post. Any who, I did a battery disconnect-reconnect, and after a reluctant start it came on and i pressed D and it went away and did the whole 'checking my mac' and it came back saying no issues. I took photos but they're not super helpful. Then having restarted (which it can do fine once its on the first time seemingly) from the D key on startup, installed CocunutBattery, and here is the screenshots:

(ive no idea if that will work, the platform wasn't behaving super well)

After this, i did a PRAM reset just for good measure. I dare say when i shut it down again it won't turn on but I will try it - and if it comes on ill let you know, but otherwise, assume im still very much stuck!
