Like the title says, have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro 15". Earlier today, battery stopped charging unless charger cable unplugged and replugged from outlet. Annoying and strange, but tolerable. About an hour ago it shut off without warning. When it restarted, battery indicator is gone (and actually will uncheck itself it turned on in settings), battery lights don't do anything, and fans running at 100%.
Have followed SMC reset instructions multiple times with no avail. Have tried running internet recovery/hardware test, get an error code. Downloaded hardware test from github, boot drive is not seen among options. Any suggestions/other tests I can run or decent guesses as to the cause (battery, dc in board, etc)?
