SOS. My mid 2010 mbp gave up the ghost today. Was plugged in at work and showing 0% charge (although magsafe was lit up.) Clicked battery status in toolbar and it showed 'not Charging' so I unthinkingly flicked the charger in an out - usually solves whatever pickle it's in. Obviously the machine shut down. Now the battery pack is showing no power - Machine will boot to grey apple and progress bar but then clicks off from 0 power. plethora of magsafe adaptors constantly showing bright green for full charge - presumably why it won't boot. I've tried a PRAM reset and reseating the battery.
Is it likely just the battery gassed? It was well overdue replacing. Or could it be more sinister?
