Mac Won T Turn On Macbook Pro 13 Retina Display Late 2013

Chosen Solution

My Macbook Pro’s charger is broken and it had no battery life left. So I tried to fix the charger but while I was trying to fix it I held the power button on the Mac but the “needs to be charged” icon doesn’t appear

. It’s just a blank dark screen. Is this normal? Maybe it’s because it doesn’t have the power to show the icon but I’m not sure.

Replace the Apple MagSafe 2 adapter. Apple MagSafe 2 AC Adapter

If after replacing the charger as @mayer recommended the system still won’t charge the battery, I think you’ll need to replace the MagSafe DC-In Board as you may have damaged it when your tried fixing your MagSafe charger cord.
