My Macbook Pro will not turn on or charge.
I have tried two batteries and two chargers, still nothing.

When i plug charger in, the green light is barely visible, very dim.

Anyone come across this issue?

TIA

What's the white light in the front doing?

And how long have you let it charge? Mine will take a second to pre-charge before it will boot up if the computer shut itself off at 0%.

Use a blow dryer to heat the charging cube thing for about 5 minutes then try it again. Don't ask me how this works.
