Hi I needed to replace the battery on my laptop . I followed the you tube instructions and now it won't boot up at all .
I have tried to reset the SMC and no luck .. any suggestions ?
 
Where did you get the battery?
Did you get a complete bottom assembly or did you remove the cells that are glued on ?
 
Hi, if it's a 2015 model, the first time you charge it after battery replacement must be with a 5W adapter and a usb c to usb a cable, if u didn't do this , there is a highly chance that your motherboard is now toasted...

Hope your Macbook is fine...
