My macbook pro retina was working perfectly fine up until last night. I put it in sleep mode at around 11% battery left thinking I'll charge it tomorrow.

Approx 12 hours later it won't turn on at all.

I plugged in the charger and let charge till the light went green but it's not turning on.

I've tried and smc reset but still no luck.

It doesn't have a battery pack.

  • What do you man it "doesn't have a battery pack?" Can you clarify? If you press and hold the power button for 5 seconds, then try again, does it boot? – Allan Mar 22 '17 at 1:59
  • It doesn't have a battery. I've held it in for ages. It seems to be dead – Master Yoda Mar 22 '17 at 7:50
  • Still confused. Does it have a battery in it that doesn't hold a charge or is there physically no battery? If the latter, how can it have 11% charge? – Allan Mar 22 '17 at 9:59
  • There is no removable battery. There is an internal battery but no removable battery pack – Master Yoda Mar 22 '17 at 10:00
  • What model Macbook Pro? – Allan Mar 22 '17 at 10:02

The SMC usually helps in situations like that, but you might try some of the other boot commands. I've had different ones fix various problems randomly.

  • Hold Shift on boot - Safe mode
  • CMD+V - Verbose mode
  • CMD+R - Recovery mode
  • CMD+P+R - Reset PRAM

Start by holding the power button for 5 seconds to make sure it is fully off before each command.

I'd also connect a display to it and see if you get any feedback.
