Hi everyone. I am trying to troubleshoot my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015). I’ve had this laptop since 2016 and it just won’t turn on.
I’ve tried all of the keyboard reset prompts (NVRAM and SMC).
I’ve unscrewed the back panel, unplugged and replugged the battery connector, pulled out and reinserted the SSD and still no luck. When I plug in the mag safe charger, the light stays orange.
There is no start up sound or lights and I cannot hear the fan whirring.
Do I need a new battery? Do I need a new logic board?
I took some pictures of the heat sink as well. If I cleaned the heat sink and reapplied the thermal paste, would it help?
Is it worth replacing the battery and the logic board? I don’t really have the money to buy a new laptop at the moment.
Any advice is very much appreciated.
