I have a late 2008 Macbook "Pro" (not yet labeled Pro but it's the 2.4 Ghz version) that won't charge the battery. It is a brand-new battery with one charge. It was not aftermarket but was an Apple Replacement. Under specs it says "Battery Installed: Yes." then "Charging: No" under the AC info. Please help!
Here's the deal:
- Computer is fully functional (minus this issue, obviously, so I guess "fully" functional is in the eyes of the beholder).
- Runs off battery but will not charge the battery
- Will not run off of AC alone as it appears it does not recognize the charger. It will not start with just the AC adapter plugged in.
Here's what I've tried (in no particular order):
- Tried three different chargers (that all work) * no difference
- Bought and installed a new, functional DC board * no luck
- Reset SMC * could tell the reset worked a couple times as adapter light changed but still no charge
- Reset PRAM/NVRAM what-have-you * reset works but no charging still
