The other night I set my mac up to backup to my external USB drive with time machine. I had the charger connected and went to bed. the next morning I checked and the LED on the charger was flashing amber and green. I got it out of sleep mode to see a message concerning the battery and then it shut off. I was unable to get it running for a few seconds before it shut off again. I checked the battery indicator on the bottom and it flashed one led. I have cleaned the connections and bought a new (correct wattage) charger and after connecting it, my mac will not power up. I read that they can boot without the battery and just the charger. It isn't the case here. I have done the rest procedures to no avail. I am hoping it has to just charge for several hours since the battery was ran down all the way. If it hasn't charged by morning I guess a new battery will be needed. The only question I have is: will an A1181 Santa Rosa model Macbook 4.1 run with only the charger attached and the battery out? If it should then I have a bigger problem than a battery. : (
Note: I have scoured the web and tried numerous things to bring it back to life, so post your thoughts and if I haven't already tried them I definitely will.
Thanks in advance.
