[QUOTE="slypty, post: 937358, member: 130369"] I've had the exact same problem, and I'm a little tentative to take apart the Macbook unless I know what's happening. When I took it to the Genius Bar, the odd thing was they ran a diagnostic, and told me the battery was defective. When they tried a new battery, the light on the Magsafe went back on, and seemed to be able to charge the battery. So I bought a 3rd party battery online, and plopped it in. Of course, it doesn't charge, no green/orange lights. It reads at 44%, and battery health monitor shows it can hold 103% of a charge. So it's pretty frustrating knowing that if I use the battery once, that's all it's good for. [/QUOTE]
