[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1522756, member: 56379"] Are you sure about this? If the charger is not charging the battery...it's probably not maintaining whatever charge it currently has as well. I think that you may need to wait 1-2 days before concluding that the charger is actually maintaining the current charge level. I think that you last mentioned that the battery charge was 56%. If it's still 56% in a couple days...then I would agree that the charger is maintaining the charge (but not charging higher). This would make testing easier...but not necessarily an uncommon situation to not have someone else nearby to help with a 2nd computer. I'm in the US...but according to the UK Apple online store...the price for a new battery is around £101.00. Replace the board!;) Here's the board & price (US cost): [url=http://www.ifixit.com/Mac-Parts/MacBook-13%22-Unibody-2-GHz#0-MagSafe+Boards]MacBook 13" Unibody 2 GHz Parts - iFixit[/url] Here's the replacement procedure: [url=http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+MacBook+Unibody+Model+A1278+DC-In+Board/768/1]Installing MacBook Unibody Model A1278 DC-In Board - iFixit[/url] - Nick [/QUOTE]
