Can you give some context as to why you believe it's a logic board issue? And things you've tried to get it running again? As others have mentioned, macbook logic boards are basically the hardest out there in the consumer world. Was it a spill? spark? Localized? which part is damaged?

I guess I am just jumping to conclusions but this article seems to describe the behavior I am seeing[1]. Here is some more context: This is a 13 in Early 2015 Macbook Pro (A1502.) My laptop was working until the battery died earlier today(so this didn't happen immediately after a spill but I also have not been the most careful when it comes to this laptop). I plugged it in and pressed the power button and I still just get black screen(I don't even hear any fans starting or anything like that.) The charging indicator is orange which makes me think that the battery is functional. When I do a SMC restart the indicator changes from orange to green for a few seconds and then turns back to orange. I have tried plugging the laptop into a monitor to rule out an issue with the screen, but still no signal on the monitor. Are there any other diagnostic tests you can recommend until I can open the laptop up? 1.https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/385224/Won't+turn+on+but+battery+charged https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/385224/Won't+turn+on+but....

  Agreed it's not very promising. Tried any of the other boot modes (safe mode[0])? Startup disk selector[1]? recovery mode[2]?

    Unfortunately, I don't even get to the point where I can pick which disk to boot from. When I hit the power button nothing happens.

      Yeah figured it was like that. At this point, I can only recommend waiting until apple stores reopen to get a proper diagnostic done. Best of luck.

90% of issues that would prevent it from powering on would be on the logic board - it's not like a MacBook has many discrete parts anyway, it's mostly one board plus a big battery.
