Green and orange blinking light on battery charger and MacBook Pro won't power on.

I had the same problem with my MacBook Pro i5 13" not powering on and the charger flashing green and orange and it not charging!!

Unscrew the back cover of your laptop and set aside. Click the link below but ONLY DO STEP 3. I used finger nails to pop it out and pushed it back in. After doing that and before you put the back cover on, carefully flip the laptop over and power it on!! It should power on. Now flip it back over and put your screws back in.

This all happened because I used a generic iPhone 5 charger in my USB port to charge my phone!!!
