MacBook Pro late 2011, suddenly doesn’t boot.

Problem is:

When I press power button  I hear usual starting clicking noise and the sleep light lit for 1 second, and the screen stay blank.

 

What I did…

  • Remove second bank of RAM, Exchange Ram Stick, and Replace RAM.
  •  Remove Hard Disk (SSD)
  • Remove all external wire connection to computer (USB, LAN, Charger …)
  •  Clean with compress air CPU Fans (Was clean)

   (Battery is fully charged, 8 green light )

 

There is one time the screen Password Reset Screen appears, in upper left menu, I choose to reboot.

 

 Thanks for your help and advise.

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.13
