My Macbook Pro does not start up. It is completely dead. The charging light is on, when plugged in. When I press the power button (plugged in) the fan comes on after some time and stays on. The charging light goes from yellow to green (looks normal). I tried SMC reset on the dead machine, no change.
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

Try plugging in the Mac to an external monitor/Tv to see if you get an image. If you do shine a bright light to the screen to see if you have a dimmed out image. If you hear fans the Mac isn’t dead but first step is to figure out if it’s a screen, backlight or logic board issue.

Hi - No screen did not come up at all.
@ashokh That points to a logic board failure. Not much one can do as end user, it will require a component level repair or a replacement.

There are two versions of this series one with a dedicated GPU and the other without. Do you remember which you got or plug in the systems S/N here EveryMac - Lookup The S/N is on the bottom cover if you can't read it see if you can plug in the model ID often times I can read them a bit easier. Let us know which you have (IG or DG)

Hi Dan
Thanks for the quick response. I looked up this one, it is a DG.

OK, lets try this quick test. Restart your system and press and hold the 'T Key which you would use to enter the system into Target Disk Mode. Are you seeing the Thunderbolt icon on the display?

The system does not start at all. Tried pressing T + Power button no response.
