Hi everyone!
My Macbook Pro 17 2011 does not turn on - completely dead!
It worked just fine until 2021.
In 2021, I changed the battery in an authorized Apple service shop. When I went to collect the MBP, it did not turn on - dead. The Apple genius told me it was a "glitch", took it back to the service room, came back with it after a few minutes, and it turned on normally.
I used it for 1 or 2 weeks after that, without any problems.
As I travel extensively for my job, the MBP was not opened or used since mid-2021.
Now it's totally dead! The charger shows green, but the MBP does not turn on - no sound, no fan, nothing.
I tried various methods found on the internet - resetting PRAM, NVRAM, SMC, opening the back of the MBP and disconnecting/reconnecting the battery, reseating the RAM, disconnecting/reconnecting the HDD...
Nothing!
There was no dust inside the Mac, no liquid spillage on it ever; it was not dropped or abused in any way.
Is there anything else I could try?
I cannot stop thinking about the Apple service "glitch", when it was also totally dead, and the genius took it to the back room and returned it working?!
Any suggestions would be welcome! Thanks in advance!
