Apple Mac Pro 2013 Won’t power up? Thoughts pls

[Krieg]

Just purchased this 2013 Mac Pro “Trash Can” 3.0 GHz 8-core 64 gb RAM, 1 TB SSD from amazon.

Beautiful machine. It was packaged very well (surprised), In mint condition

It won’t power up!

Tried SMC reset. Confirmed AC outlet was working too. It could be the internal battery, but it’s an arduous process and don’t comfortable taking it apart

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Amazon does have a good return policy.

A bit disappointed

Thanks!

Man for a moment I was wondering why a tea kettle was in the picture.

Try a different power cable first. If it's still broken, I'd return it.

11 years is a long time for a computer.

I think I'd just return it.

IMO, I'd return it. There are plenty of these around and they're fairly inexpensive these days if you're set on one.

Out of curiosity, do you have a specific reason why you want one of these? No judgement on my part-I have one and actually use it at my desktop at work, but mostly bought because it's an interesting design and I "needed" one in my Apple collection. I upgraded to the 12 core CPU and run an eGPU with it-I actually intentionally bought the D300 GPU as they are so thermally limited with the higher spec GPUs. They are otherwise rather limited machines in a lot of respects...

I purchased it for Nostalgia for my entertainment center. Yes, it's being returned. Will purchase a M4 silicon computer..
