Macbook pro (late 2011 model) wont start.

I recently upgraded to OSX Mavericks and had to swap my harddrive. This morning I woke up went to turn on my macbook and saw it was off. I thought that was odd but didn't really think about it too much. I hit the power button it made the startup chime brought up the spinner then shut off. I tried it one more time with the same results. Then when I tried it the third time it got stuck in an infinite loop of starting and restarting. Not knowing what to do I did a hard shutdown. Then when I tried to turn it back on it wouldn't make a sound. No harddrive spin, no disk drive read, nothing. I have looked around and found people whos mac shutoff suddenly then wouldn't come back on but their charger would blink slowly mine it solid green like it has a full battery (which it does). I have tried reseting the SMC but I am either doing it wrong or it's not working. I believe it is the latter option. If anyone has any idea how I could fix this issue your help would be greatly appreciated. I need this laptop for my business and I don't have very much money to buy a new one.


Thanks for any help you can give,

Logan Forshee

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
