MacBook 2010 won't turn on.

My Mac was 'Unplugged' when this happened.

It turned itself off. I waited 5 minutes. It turned back on.

Battery was at 70%, worked until it used all it's power at regular speed.

SMC reset does nothing.

When I plug my charger in it DOES NOT light up and does nothing but DID charge it earlier on in the day.

I have never had a problem with it until the 10.13 update.

I have since bought an alternative aptop and used it for the past few months but really want to get my Mac running again so I can get back on Logic Pro.

If Mike's suggestion does not help, make sure to unplug the brick from the outlet for a minute to reset the internal circuit breaker.

Remove the battery. Plug in the power adapter and try powering on. If it powers on, then reinsert the battery and let it charge before you restart or shutdown again. If it doesn't work, then leave the battery & power adapter disconnected for a longer period before trying just the power adapter again.
