Intel MacBook Pro 2020 won’t power on after battery drained overnight

Hey,

So for context I have a habit of not shutting down my computer overnight, and just put it to sleep. Similar thing happened yesterday, and I when I tried to power up my computer today, it just never switched on ( No fans, Trackpad not clicking etc). Unfortunately my computer will not turn on after charging the battery, resetting the NVRAM, SMB, holding power button etc.

This happened a few months ago also, and just as I was about to take it for repair, I plugged the in the Mac in desperate attempt and Voila! It magically started working, I didn’t give it too much thought, but now it’s been more than 36 hours and I’ve tried everything I could think off, but nothing seems to resolve the issue.

I went to an authorized repair center, and they said it seems like a faulty SMP, and they’ll have to do a full logic board replacement. I am student, and for a machine that is less than 2 years old, I just cannot justify paying 600$ for something which I believe isn’t my fault completely. Any suggestions would be appreciated !!

Answer this question I have this problem too

While the SMC logic is within the logic board it’s not what I would suspect as the issue here. You need to get a USB-C power meter to put in-line with the charger so you can monitor the power. You may need a new battery

If the battery is good then the logic maybe latched. To unlatch it you’ll need to disconnect the battery and then discharge the logic board by pressing and holding the power button for a good 15 secs. Then carefully reconnecting it.
