Try to unplug the magsafe and take out the battery, hold down the power button for 10 seconds, then replace the battery and power it back on.

Do an SMC reset, as you were instructed, then a PRAM reset. To achieve a good PRAM reset, boot up the machine keeping option+command+p+r and keep them pressed until you hear three "boing" noises
