MacBook Pro 2013 16" seems to be dead, what can I do?

Hi,

A friends Mac seems to be completely dead. Situation:

  • Friend: I was looking for pictures on several usb-sticks, after that, it stopped booting.
  • Adapter has an amber light.
  • I switched adapters, not booting.
  • I cleaned the Magsave contact, no booting.
  • I reset SMC, at the end of that procedure the adapter light was for one or two seconds green, no booting.
  • I reset Nvram, no booting.


Any advice?? I hope someone recognizes this situation an has a solution!


Thanks in advance!
