Hello! I have a 2012 15” Unibody MacBook Pro that I have had since new named Grandpa. So yesterday I was trying a seam game (Timberborn), and he got really hot and shutdown unexpectedly. I thought Grandpa just needed a nap. Now about a week later I get no boot. No power on. Nothing. The MagSafe light shows green but the battery doesn’t charge (it’s a replacement from about 4 years ago). Things I’ve tried:
# SMC reset doesn’t help.
# Disconnecting the battery internally and trying to boot.
# Disconnecting the keyboard and bridging the pads above the keyboard connector.
# Checking all internal cables.
# Playing with installed RAM (switching slots, removing sticks)
Anything else to try?
Thank you!
