Hello,
I am having problems with my Mac Book Pro retina 15 Mid 2015.
Last time i had a little spark while i was connecting the Mag Safe to charge it and from that moment the Mac does not charge anymore.
Of course my battery is now on 0%, but when I try to turn on, Mac shows me the logo of the battery.
I tried to change the charger and also the charge Socket near the Logic Board, without any success.
The Mag safe has no leds, and also is not hot as usually.

The only problem is that is not charging the battery, I can't make any diagnosis, so at this point I do not know what to do.
Can I test any other things before to bring it to Apple Customer Service?

PS: I can replace the logic board by myself if it is the problem, but i do now knoe how to replace the serial code.

I agree with @jav6454, you may have limited options.

Having a spark or arc when you attach a power adapter indicates something else was wrong, though. That's not normal behavior. So make sure you fix whatever the problem is (maybe the power adapter is plugged into a non-grounded outlet?) or it could happen again after it's repaired. Good luck.
