Today my 2012 MacBook Pro wouldn’t turn on. Symptoms as follows:
- No power
- Battery area is hot
- LED on MagSafe 2 connector displays orange all the time
- Apple logo on outer lid does not light up
I tried the following:
- Attached lightening cable to USB but no charge is reaching my phone
- Swapped out the PSU for another Mac but made no difference
- I was unable to swap out the cable from the PSU to the laptop since my old laptop is MagSafe 2 and the other is USB Type C
Noteworthy: The cable right before the MagSafe connector is badly frayed. However the LED is on and the laptop is hot which I assume indicates the laptop is drawing power.
Is it worth buying a new PSU? Or is the laptop stuffed?
