Thank you all for reading my first post. A friend of mine had a Macbook that wouldn't power on. When I saw her, she told me if I could take the HDD out that I could have the Macbook and try and fix it myself. So when I originally looked at it, I noticed that when the Macbook was plugged in, there was no charge going to the battery. So me, not researching much just assumed it was the Magsafe Board. So I replaced it and here I am now because that did not fix it.
So basically where I stand now is the Magsafe power adapter is plugged in, has a green light, but when the power button is pressed nothing gets powered on. I have the keyboard/trackpad kind of hanging off (but plugged in) to see when I press the power button if the fan starts up however nothing happens. Here are some of the tests I have tried and their results.
Again all of these test the macbook never turns on.
Another piece of information is that when the battery is plugged in, the adapter has an orange light indicating charging but the LEDs on the battery are not charging.
Does this sound like a bad logic board?

- Plug in battery from GF's Macbook and try to boot (no power adapter plugged in.)
- Charge bad Macbook's battery in GF's Macbook and tried powering on with that battery (no power adapter plugged in).
- Use just my magsafe adapter and no battery plugged in.
- Tried using GF's Magsafe adapter and no battery plugged in.
