Chosen Solution
I’ve read other answers but no luck so far. Replaced the battery, everything went smoothly. Now charging light stays orange. No response from the computer. When I do SMC reset, light goes green briefly when I let go of keys but then goes back to orange. Anything else I can try or did I just kill a perfectly functioning laptop?
take off the battery and all peripherals then hold the power button for ten secs. If that doesn’t work then I would recommend you maybe remove the battery and plug in the charger and see if that powered up the Computer you may have a faulty battery.
