[QUOTE="samclarke666, post: 1014745, member: 146951"] Hi guys, Just bought my first macbook off ebay, got it dirt cheap because of an issue, that has now baffled me! I am a computer tech/engineer so don't need to speak in layman's to me! The problem: When the Mac is turned on and plugged in, it says there is no battery (when there is, have tried another test battery which is known to work and still the same) and it [B]DOESN'T [/B]charge. When the mac is turned off/sleep it [B]DOES [/B]charge, but theres no way of knowing the charge level because the mac always says there is no battery... Also I have reformatted with Leopard AND Snow Leopard to no avail + the power reset (holding down some keys and turning Mac on, cant remember which ones...) Any ideas? Cable connecting Battery to logicboard possibly? Not got that far yet! Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
