[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1851854, member: 97843"] The Macbook Pro can be powered on via the battery or charger. Your battery could be COMPLETELY dead and it would still work fine if connected to the charger. However, the charging light indicator behavior shows there is an issue probably related to the computer not knowing how much power needs to be sent to power on the system. SMC chip is most likely the culprit since you stated you had to reset it before to temporarily fix the issue. That's not really an easy fix for a regular user. Are you using the original Apple charger? It's known that aftermarket chargers are prone to causing damage to the SMC and voltage regulator. [/QUOTE]
