[QUOTE="milescortez, post: 1197578, member: 178848"] I have a late 2008 aluminum unibody. Same thing. Everything was great, brand new battery, brand new ssd and a new 7200 rpm 750 gb drive in the optical bay. Thenone day I noticed it wasn't charging. After resetting pram and smc I took it it. They said it lookednliked water damage to the MagSafe board. There was never any spill whatsoever. They replaced the MagSafe board (it was going to be $50). No luck. Now they say it's a logic board replacement. This is total bs. There was never any damage to the laptop. It sits on my desk and never travels. It never came anywhere near liquid. This is just a design flaw or a bad part. From the online research I've done I am seeing lots of folks with these late 2008 MacBook unibodys having this problem. Hopefully apple will recognize the problem and replace/repair these things even if they are out ofnwarranty. This was my first Mac. Never again will I go without AppleCare. I am very curious to here from people with this problem. [/QUOTE]
