Macbook pro won't turn on after battery died

The SMC usually helps in situations like that, but you might try some of the other boot commands. I've had different ones fix various problems randomly.
- Hold Shift on boot - Safe mode
- CMD+V - Verbose mode
- CMD+R - Recovery mode
- CMD+P+R - Reset PRAM
Start by holding the power button for 5 seconds to make sure it is fully off before each command.
I'd also connect a display to it and see if you get any feedback.

My macbook pro retina was working perfectly fine up until last night. I put it in sleep mode at around 11% battery left thinking I'll charge it tomorrow.
Approx 12 hours later it won't turn on at all.
I plugged in the charger and let charge till the light went green but it's not turning on.
I've tried and smc reset but still no luck.
It doesn't have a battery pack.

Admin about 7 yearsWhat do you man it "doesn't have a battery pack?" Can you clarify? If you press and hold the power button for 5 seconds, then try again, does it boot?

Admin about 7 yearsStill confused. Does it have a battery in it that doesn't hold a charge or is there physically no battery? If the latter, how can it have 11% charge?
