Q: Do I need a new battery?

Hello all, I'm new to these forums and hoping I can get a little advice.

 

I have a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2012.  Everything was running fine up until about a week ago when the computer drained to 0%.  The following day I went to charge it and power it on, and it wouldn't start.  Left it plugged in for a few hours and still wouldn't start.    Nothing on the screen, no lights or sounds.  Nothing has ever been spilled on it, and its never been dropped.

 

Things I've tried:

SMC reset

Holding power for 30 sec

Hold power button for 10 sec, plug adapter in, hold for another 10 sec

Unplugging battery and just using power adapter

Different magsafe power adapter from friends macbook (same model)

 

I'm running out of things to try. There is the very very faint green light on the magsafe adapter, faint enough that I have to cup my hand around it to see that it's actually lit.  There is no visible corrosion or damage to the internals either.

 

So I'm not sure if I need a new battery or if it's something more serious?

 

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!
