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?

- irjustin 6y agoAgreed it's not very promising. Tried any of the other boot modes (safe mode[0])? Startup disk selector[1]? recovery mode[2]?

- jklein11 6y agoUnfortunately, 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.
- irjustin 6y agoYeah 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.
