Please help me :(

Hi guys. Bought an early 2011 mbp in 2011 oct but now i not sure what happened and in need of advice!

My mbp was still performing ok ytd night but at 1015 it started to shut down automatically. I tried switching on and it can still work for the next 2 mins. After that, it shut down again by itself and this time round i couldnt switch it on at all.

I tried plugging in my magsafe and switch on the power. The light indicated is a very dim alternation between green and orange. Can anyone advice me? It's out of warranty already. Is it a problem to the logic board or just pure battery problem?

Just do a Google search, your problem isn't unique.

A) Try resetting the SMC
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
3.On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
4.Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
5.Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

B) Reconnect the battery connector (intermediate level handling)
1. Open up the base panel under your MBP
2. Disconnect the battery connector, DO NOT remove the battery (go look this up if you don't know what it looks like)
3. Wait a while
4. Reconnect the battery connector
5. Put the base panel back
6. Turn on your MBP
