MacBook Pro A1286 doesn't turn on
Hey guys,
a friend gave me a MacBook Pro A1286 to check. I cannot find a Serialnumber on it, so I can not say what year it is, should be 2008-2012. Probably 2008 or 2009 as the 320 GB HDD got a production date of 11/08.
At first my task was only to replace the battery, which died after a few minutes. But when she gave me the laptop she added that it doesn't turn on at all since two days ago.
When I plug in the power supply (not the original one) the indicator turns green immediately or sometimes nothing happens. I don't know if it's just the combination of a maybe dead power supply and battery or if there can be more issues on the mainboard.
Can anyone give some advice?
Thanks in advance!

What happens when you press the battery checker which is on the side? Do the LED's all light up?

Good Idea! With power supply plugged in: 1 green light flashes / no power supply attached: nothing happens

After I did this, the indicator on the charger switched to amber. It didn't do that before! Maybe it charges again now. I'll let you know!

Try an SMC reset: Connect the power adapter to the Mac. On the MacBook / Pro's keyboard, hold down the Shift+Control+Option keys and the Power button at the same time. Release all keys and the power button at the same time – the little light on the MagSafe adapter may change colors briefly to indicate the SMC has reset.

Nothing seems to happen when doing the SMC reset procedure as you described it. MagSafe adapter LED is green again, can't bring it back to amber at the time. Still when I press the battery indicator it gives me 1/8 green flashing light (flashes 3 times).
