Can anyone please help.

i returned from holiday. tried to turn my mac on and there was nothing. so i thought the battery was dead.

i plugged in the charger the charger goes green as if it is fully charged when i press the power button, the sleep light flashes once then goes off. it sounds like the fans start then it stops.

its a 2010 17inch 2.53 i5 if that help.

any help will be greatly appriciated as i am at a complete loss.

ps i have bought a new charger as i thought it was that but no joy 😕

thanks in advance

Since anything else that could be wrong is internal, you should bring it to an Apple Store and ask about the cost of repairing it.
 
Could of told you it wasn't the cable likely because the light was coming on.

Try an SMC Reset. It can solve this problem sometimes.

Also make the title a brief description of the problem next time, not just please help. It will help you get more responses and makes things more organized.
