dim green charger light

JustAddWater

So, I have a MBP 2010 unibody and was working perfectly saturday night (on battery) as I updated my apple TV using it, no problems

Since sunday morning, it's dead as nails. No power, no response. When I plug the charger in, the LED lights up, a VERY faint green. This was the same with another charger and my charger works in another MBP

Any ideas? It's out of apple care, and I am technical, so I can strip it down and do whatnot with it. Only problem is that I have no real access to spares or another macbook to test things but if anyone has been in this situation, what was the issue?

I was thinking I could try replace the DC inboard but from what I read, there's only a very small chance that's the problem. It could very well be the logic board and since it's 2010 I dont want to go down that road as it'll be too expensive

Anything I can do to help me narrow down the issue?

Thanks

Try cleaning any dust etc out of the MagSafe connection on the MBP.

Also try resetting the SMC

No response from SMC reset. Battery is flat
