1 MacBook Pro won't turn on after Battery Replacement.
Hi,
I just replaced the battery with the iFixit Kit on my rMBP Mid 2012 (MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Mid 2012 Battery Replacement). Cause was a "replace now" indicator in OSX. Replacement went without (obvious) problems but now the Mac isn't starting anymore. When I connected the MagSafe adapter first it started with 100% fans until the login screen although the light on the MagSafe didn't turn on. I shut it down and made a SMC reset. Since then the Mac stayed off. I already disconnected the battery and ran only on MagSafe but light won't turn on. I also tried to disconnect all and press the Power Button for a minute and reconnected battery and MagSafe, but no progress either.
Weird thing is: The fans start to run slowly when I connect the MagSafe. But Power Button shows no reaction.
Any help highly appreciated!
Update: Coconut screen attached:
Update2: Tried this
Battery not detected, won't charge; strange connector on logic board?
and succeeded partially:
So battery is recognized and I can boot from it without charger. Yay!
But still no charging with MagSafe plugged in. I plugged in an old 60W charger from an MB Unibody 2008, no success. But then removed the cable from my original Power Supply and plugged it directly into the wall...
That looks pretty good, doesn't it?
But since it is only charging with ~40W I guess my Power Supply could be replaced. Also the charging indicator on MagSafe doesn't light up (always).
So I guess I had a combination of unrecognized battery and a kind of (but not totally) broken Power Supply.
Now charging up to 100% and let it drain over night.
Best,
Marc

Update: Reassembled everything, seems like the port from MagSafe slipped while reinserting the logic board. Now the MagSafe turned orange, battery indicator says "battery not loading" though. Will charge now for the night. Then draining completely and make a SMC reset then.

Still not charging. It starts with power cable plugged in but not from battery. Coconut screen shot attached.

Battery is recognized (good), but doesn't charge or start (bad).
What are my options? Any pointer which part could be responsible?

I tried to connect the old battery which isn't in good condition and almost empty. Couldn't get to get the system start fully but it at least started to boot even from battery. So running from battery should work in general, right? Reconnecting the new battery -> same effect as described above.
So the questions remains: How come that coconut sees the battery but cannot charge it? And how come that it cannot boot from battery although there is charge?
