Q: Macbook pro 13 inch wont change. Smc reset not working.

I have a 13 inch macbook pro late 2011 model. I was using it a couple of hours ago, letting it hit around 30% before I plug it back in. When I plug it in though, the charge indicator light became orange for a while and it was charging. After a few minutes, it showed green and my laptop was actually discharging. It finally hit 1% then shut down. First I did was to try and reset the SMC, however, I don't think it worked. The light indicator didn't change from green to yellow. It didn't matter how long I pressed the left hand shift, option, control, and power buttons for, the charging light indicator didn't change.

 

I tried something a little bolder, I opened my laptop up and disconnected and reconnected the battery connection in the hopes of "resetting" the SMC but to no avail. When I plugged the charger back in, it still was a green light and it wasn't charging.

 

Now I am not quite sure how to proceed since I can't open my laptop (it is very very slow to boot and can only be alive for a couple of minutes then it dies).

 

Has anyone encountered this before or would know how to fix this issue?

Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Apologies for not being able to provide a whole lot more technical details about my laptop aside from the model.
