MBP 13 dead after switching SuperDrive with HDD.
So I just replaced the SuperDrive with that HDD Sata III Adapter (with the HDD of course) and my MBP doesn´t turn on anymore.
Just a plain blackscreen, the fan does not work and there is no boot sound either.
I already tried to unplug the battery for a several hours and plug it back in. Nothing.
Tried to start with the magsafe and unplugged battery. Nothing.
Also tried a SMC Bypass. The fan is working but nothing else is.
The magsafe lights up in green when I plug it in. With or without connecting the battery.
Although the MBP doesn´t start up I hear a little noise when I press the power button.
Also I should mention that I connected an usb-stick before the first boot after I finished the SuperDrive replacement.
On the first boot (not a SMC Bypass) the fan worked but the screen was black.
Hope that anyone can help me.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings,
Steven
Update
Can´t seem to find any missing component here. Battery is unplugged on purpose.
Edit: Found out that the little noise comes from the SSD (SuperDrive + SSD constellation).
When I take the SSD out and press the power button I hear only hear a tiny click or crack.
Update
So, out of curiosity and mainly despair I removed the logic board and looked on the back of it to see, if there are any burned or suspicious areas.
Maybe one of you sees anything...
Is this a good question?

After connecting the board to a charger, with battery installed, feel around the board. Can you feel any unusual heat source? Start with the area in this picture right above.
