MacBook briefly boots up for like a quarter of a second then hangs
Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13' won't boot, not even chime. I tried downgrading from Catalina to High Sierra 10.13.6 via USB because Catalina got the best of my patience. So then followed all the instructions correctly and when it came down to the final restart it never restarted. So now when I turn it on, it sounds like it briefly boots up for like a quarter of a second then hangs. No screen, no keyboard light, no apple light at the back. Just the small white light at the bottom right of the keyboard comes on then suddenly dims. The green power light does work.
I've tried resetting the SMC and the NVRAM with no luck.
I tried praying for a bit, then nothing happened.
I cried a little... and still nothing.
I then searched through a bazillion forums for answers and found nothing again.
And now I'm here. Hoping for the best.
Please could somebody help?
