[QUOTE="mckayskater, post: 914270, member: 123244"] I am a noob to macs so here is my problem. I have a 2008 Macbook and when the power is plugged in, the light is green, however my battery will not charge, and it even says at the top "battery is not charging" If I remove the power cord from the computer it will still run off the remaining % of the battery, but If I reconnect the cord it lights up green and I never see the amber charging color. I traded out my battery as well as a different power cord and still the same results. My battery will charge up on a friends macbook, but not on my own. I want to take it to the apple store but I'm at school and there is no store near me. I ran the coconut battery program and here are my results Current battery charge 4275 mAh Maximum battery charge 4928 mAh Current battery capacity 4928 mAh Original battery capacity 5020 mAh battery load cycles 146 age of mac 19 months charger connected yes battery is charging no Anyone have any ideas for me? Thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
