My macbook pro is not turning on.The light on the charging cord only stays red, even overnight it never turns green and the MacBook won’t turn on. There are no noises when i press power. I contacted Apple Support and they gave me several keyboard commands to try with no luck. One of them (I believe it was control, option or command, shift and power) did turn the light green for about 2 seconds then back to red. But that was it. All Apple stores are closed due to covid19, so they referred me to a local computer store who will charge me a $99 service fee plus labor and parts. Is this just a bad battery that needs replaced or even a bad charging cord that needs replaced? If it’s the cord I can order that from Apple and save myself the service fee. Any other tricks I can try ? Thanks
More likely the battery. Lets given this a try, referencing this guide MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Early 2015 Battery Replacement follow the first 6 steps disconnecting the battery. Now with nothing plugged in press and hold the power button for a good 15 secs. Now plug in your MagSafe charger your system should spontaneously boot up. Did it?
I sure am thankful for all the responses that said this didn’t work for them! I won’t try that first then. I wonder if replacing the cord did the trick? I also think for my MacBook, I might just need to replace the battery, because it’s really old - it only lasts for about 40 minutes, so maybe now it’s not only old, it’s toast.
