Why won't MacBook turn on after changing SATA cable?
I followed the step-by-step guide on iFixit and also looked up a couple of YouTube videos. The charger stays green but the computer won’t turn on when pressing the power button. Pressing the power button and shift + control + option keys also isn’t helping me. What else could I do to get my machine to turn on?
This isn’t my first time attempting to fix my Macbook. A few months back I changed the HDD to an SSD and didn’t come across any problems. Thanks in advance!

What happens when you enter into the onboard diagnostics? Restart your system and press the D key? Tell us what error messages you get.

Hi Dan, I've tried pressing the power button + D and the power button + option + D, as well as a few other key combinations in the suggested doc, and it's simply not turning on.
The battery is full charged, and I plugged it in before placing the MacBook's lower case back on.
Is it possible I installed the SATA cable incorrectly? Are there any things you'd recommend double-checking?
Thanks so much for the help so far :)
