* Laptop has been working normally. All of a sudden when I tried to turn it on, it does not boot at all. No startup screen, no apple logo, no progress bar.
* When I try to turn it on, I can hear some of the components inside turning on (i.e. fan, hard drive) - the components inside are attempting to turn on then it goes off and repeatedly does that.
* Screen remains black, keyboard commands such as adjusting screen brightness, keyboard light brightness does not seem to register.
* Battery still charges. I can see indicator going from amber to green after plugging magsafe cable for an hour or so.

Attempted Solutions:
* Basic power off and on
* SMC / NVRAM / PRAM reset key sequences
* Boot Recovery Mode

The only thing I have not tried yet is disengaging the cable to the battery inside the laptop and attempting to turn it on with the magsafe cable attached. Wanted to see if anyone else has any other suggestions first.
