[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1775746, member: 234411"] Hello and welcome to the forum! :) Looking on [URL="https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=A1181"]EveryMac[/URL] in their 'Lookup' section, the model number above shows MacBooks introduced from 2006 to 2009 (check the link and tell us the specific one); thus, you have an 'old' laptop and the battery, as already suggested, may be the problem (unless replaced); also, I would suspect the computer to work w/ a proper charger attached, so a couple of issues. From your last statement above, i.e. 'My MacBook doesn't work', I'm assuming that the machine does not work whether on or off the charger - correct? If so, hard to give advice - I was going to suggest obtaining the free [URL="http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/#plus"]Coconut Battery App[/URL] which gives stats on the status of your battery (see image below from my MBPro which has a fairly new replacement battery), such as designed capacity and cycles used - BUT, if you can run this app on your MacBook, then provide us w/ the information shown (or a screen capture). Finally, if indeed the computer is 'dead', then have you tried to visit a repair shop or an Apple Store (there seems to be one in your city - second pic below) - Apple could run diagnostics (but don't be surprised if they refuse due to the age of your machine) - maybe time to look for a new laptop? Good luck - Dave . [ATTACH=FULL]27363[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=FULL]27364[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
