Computer won't turn on, mag safe light stays green

"My laptop suddenly stopped turning on after taking a small fall. I have tried the SMC restart, variations on holding the power button down, etc, and no luck. I have taken out the battery and tried to turn the computer on while plugged into the charger. In all cases, the magsafe light stays green (never turns amber, even when plugging/unplugging and pressing the power button) but the computer never turns on. I’ve never heard the fan kick on and it hasn’t made any type of startup sound. Any suggestions?

Two potential instigating factors:"

You’ll need to dig deeper to figure this out. Grab a DVM a set of schematics and board views and start tracing out the power rails. You might want to jump over to Louis Rossmann’s YouTube channel to see how he works out the different circuits.
