System wont boot and SMC wont reset
System boots erratically. Most of the time when pressing power button sleep lite comes on and fans spin. Display stays dark. In this condition I have tried SMC reset - with no success.
When it does boot ( usually after sitting off overnight) it crashes to the picture shown below.
.
Is this a hardware issue?
Is this a logic board issue?
Why wont the smc reset?
Thanks
Это хороший вопрос?

I don’t have another mac product. However using transmac I loaded High Sierra on a known good SSD. Transmac shows that the drive has a 7.3GB HSF+ partition. Thats the partition Transmac extracted High Sierra into. Does this sound right?

That doesn't make sense! That sounds like the OS image file.which won't be large enough to run the installer.
Let's see if you have an alternative. Do you have a TimeMachine backup of your system?

I do not have a TimeMachine backup. Fortunately, there are no files on the macbook that are irreplaceable. I am completely frustrated by the machines seeming inability to respond to SMC resets. It did for a time yesterday, but today no matter what reset is attempted (SMC, NVRAM, Recovery) all that happens is the sleep light comes on and the fans spin. Some I have consulted with thing this points to an logic board issue.

I have a good SSD available, what steps are necessary to image OSX on it from a Windows 10 machine. I do not have another mac.

Do you have a friend with a Mac?
The three times I tried to use TransMac I was never able to get it to work properly.
