I have a 2009 17" MBP that is not responding to power button presses. I have tried:
Response from the laptop:
Absolutely nothing. Maybe it's become a nihilist.
Laptop status:
Laptop was dead and had been in a closet for quite a few years. Laptop was charged, and went through a normal charging cycle. Pressing the battery level button shows that the battery is now fully charged. All hail to the battery lords above.
Anything else I can do to try to revive this old workhorse?

- PRAM and SMC reset.
- Praying to the apple gods while sacrificing a dove on the alter of macintosh
