If the SMC reset and PRAM reset didn't work, you'll have to take the machine and the MagSafe in for service.


1. SMC reset

Problems solved: Machine is not booting, power button pressed and nothing happens, problems with indicators, Magsafe has wrong lights, battery is not charging, monitor issues etc. If the battery is not charged (from like letting it sleep too long), let the Mac charge up awhile first.
