Magsafe green Macbook Pro (aluminium unibody) not booting - any impact of Mountain Lion on battery?
Hi,
I have the following issue and hope that someone can help me.
Notebook
- Macbook Pro 13'' aluminium unibody from mid 2011.
Sympthoms
- Mac OS upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
- Couple of days later during the use Macbook Pro shut down - battery was drained; Magsafe not plugged in.
- After plugging it Magsafe only green light was shown (cannot say whehter a "dim" green or "normal") - not charging.
Already checked
- I managed (not with the first attempt) to do the SMC (for Macbooks, where battery should not be removed), followed apple support steps and afterwards turn on the laptop.
- It worked fine, while the battery statys was showing "not chargin" and stayed between 1% and 2%. Wokred like this for two days - always with Magsafe in and green light.
- I did also try resetting PRAM - the Magsafe light never changed to amber.
Current state
- Yesterday it shut down again - accidentaly Mag safe was detached from the dc-in port.
- No way to turn on again - SMC reset seems to be not working; Magsafe light is always green.
Next steps ?
- Read a lot and realized this can be: dc-in, logic board or a software issue...
- Should I give it a try and open the unibody and try resetting SMC with battery out?
Many thanks for those who read this and have some input.
