Troubleshooting Power:

A. Please Clarify:

• Did you install an update?
• Have you had battery issues before?
• Has this Mac been serviced recently?
• What were you working on when this happened?

B. Try a New Charger:

If it is charing from an external device, then use a new charger:

• Power & Cables - Mac Accessories - Apple - Select "Mac Compatibility" on the left
• Find the Right Power Adapter and Cable for your Mac Notebook - Apple Support

C. A Few Links to Refer to Power:

• About Mac Notebook Batteries - Apple Support

• How to Turn your Mac On or Off - Apple Support

Thank you for the follow up reply.

This is the SIL (Status Indicator Light).

Go Here: Mac Computer Status Indicator Light Behavior - Apple Support

Run a Diagnostics Test:

What you are seeing is the SIL (Status Indicator Light Status). So, hold down the D key upon boot to run the Diagnostics Test. How it blinks indicates what the issue is. Indeed this has something to do with power.

So, contact Apple Support first and then take this to an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) seeing if they can service this

Either it can be fixed or it cannot be fixed. If fixing it is not an option, then consider getting a new or used Mac for yourself. If you get a used Mac, then be certain the current user signs themselves out of iCloud on it. Elsewise the Mac would be useless to you.

So, here is the Contact Info:

Contacting Apple:

• Contact Us - Choose Locations
• USA: 1(800)MY-APPLE
• Proceed from there as Necessary

Contact an AASP: 

1. Go Here: Find Locations - Apple Authorized Reseller
2. Click: Service & Support
3. Enter: your location information
4. See: if there is an AASP nearby
5. Contact: an AASP that shows up, and find out more about the services that they offer to fix the iPhone

I fear you'll have to have Apple look at it.

Great to hear my friend! :)

You're welcome, take care! :)
