Chosen Solution

Ok, my fellow Mac users. I got one for ya. I came home last night to do a bit of editing, just to see that my MagSafe charger was amber, (last I can remember it was green). I open my laptop, boot it up to see that it had 15% battery life, but no lightning bolt to indicate that it was charging. Before I could do anything else the life finally ran out and now it’s dead
I disconnected and plugged in the MagSafe and it lit green, but when I press the power button all I get is an icon of a battery with one red bar and a lightning bolt underneath it. When I discharge the MagSafe I get the same icon but underneath is a magnet = ⚡️ telling me to connect the charger. And when I do it goes green and back to the other icon, but will not boot up. I have done the SMC reset (multiple times) and it forces the MagSafe to turn from green to amber, but then I don’t get anything on my screen at all. I’ve disconnected the battery, then plugged in the charger to see if it will boot or even turn the fans, but I get nothing. I have an appointment with the Apple Store, but wanted to see if anyone else has had similar issues. Update (02/28/2021) Additionally, I left the laptop unplugged to drain it entirely, and plugged the MagSafe back in and it immediately goes green until I force it with the SMC reset to turn amber. Still no boot up. I’ve had no issues with this laptop, it’s been amazing, save for this. It’s a month old refurbished Mac from Mac of all Trades. Inside looks immaculate, not a spot of dust. No swelling of the battery or burn marks anywhere. And I was able to get into my Mac before it died, so I don’t think it’s the logicboard. But I’m no expert. anyway. Just trying to give as much detail as possible so everyone has as much information about my situation. Thanks, Jason. Update (03/05/2021) Here are some screenshots

I’m suspecting your battery died! In most cases I would have recommended installed and running CoconutBattery and having you take a snapshot of the apps main window and post it here for us to see Adding images to an existing question. That way we could have gotten a better idea on your batteries health. But! Given your systems age its the most likely issue.
