MacBook Pro Early 2011 15” Completely Dead?

Hi all,

I have an Early 2011 MBP 15” (A1286) of which I’m the original owner.

Have had a few issues with it over the years: GPU died and had to implement the bypass software hack and had to replace the charger.

However, last night it suddenly died whilst converting a video from Zoom.

Doesn’t turn on at all. No MagSafe light. Battery had about 300-400 cycles, but was plugged in whilst using Zoom.

I tried the suggestions in this thread to no avail.

Upon opening the bottom, I did notice that a piece of plastic from a fuse-looking part had popped up and was sitting on top of the battery (attached picture below - it’s the one labelled ‘22‘ ‘1E12’ - unfortunately I can’t find much on Google on this number).

I’d take it to an Apple store, but they’re all unfortunately closed at the moment due to COVID.

Just wondering if anybody else has experienced something similar and might be able to provide some advice?

Cheers!
