I have a problem with a MacBook Pro. Model A1278

Problem is notebook will not power on.
Was streaming a movie, got up, came back, power was off. Hasn't turned on since.

I have tried to reset the SMC.

I have unplugged the battery from the motherboard, left overnight, nothing.

I can use an external HDD adapter to access data, data not corrupted, not a HD issue.

Battery holds charge/charges. MagSafe shows, orange when charging and green when charged.

I cleaned the fan, cleaned all dust out.

No indication of spillage or neglect. Small corrosion on one or two mounting screws, nothing major.

When power button is pressed, nothing. no boot, no HDD noise, no fan. no indication of anything happening.


Any suggestions?
