How can I revive a dead laptop for a friend

Over the weekend a friend of mine and his son decided to upgrade Mom’s laptop. They installed Crucial MX 500 1TB SSD and 16 GB of Crucial memory. After completing the upgrade the laptop failed to restart. They tried everything at the Apple support site, and nothing . They undid the upgrade, reinstalled the old parts and the laptop was still DOA. Mind you the laptop was working fine before the fiasco took place.

Now it’s in my hands. I really don’t want to let them down as they can’t afford a new laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. The light on the charger is barely lit when plugged in and charging.

To answer your main question, that depends on your skills when it comes to logic boards repair, a faint green magsafe light points to a board issue that may easily involve shorted components and/or a faulty first stage power rails or charging circuit.

@arbaman yeah, turns out he and his dad decided to DIY a hard drive and memory upgrade. Had never repaired a laptop or anything electronic before. End result was a fried mainboard among other things. Was able to repair it with spare parts I had lying around.

They didn't learn their lesson though, had to repair two more macbooks they tried to upgrade several week later.

@beanman56 You didn't read the question correctly. I received the laptop after the Macbook owners failed upgrade attempt. It's common sense to disconnect the battery prior to working on any laptop.

I was able to repair the laptop and complete the upgrades for him.
