Possible the battery is dead?
With a dead battery, the slightest jiggle of the power cord could shut the Mac down.
And when a battery has completely run down, it sometimes takes a SMC reset to get a MacBook Pro to boot.
The battery IS almost gone. There were no jiggles of any kind, but that could be the reason. I'm ordering a new one. Thanks.
