[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1608627, member: 56379"] I guess it comes down to how much $$$ are you into this computer for…and are ok with losing if the computer cannot be made to work. The not-charging problem is of course a big deal…since once the battery loses charge…the computer will just be a brick. And if the seller mentioned nothing about a charging problem…then this would certainly be a reason to return it. The charging situation mostly involves: - the magsafe charger - the battery - the DC-In board If these are all good…then pretty much the only thing left is the logic board. And you don't want to replace this…too much $$$! The only other thing I can suggest…did you do an SMC Reset after installing the DC-In board. Just a thought…probably a long shot. I'm thinking if you spent some decent bucks for this computer…and the charging problem was not mentioned by the seller…it may be time to return it. Maybe the seller knew about the charging problem…and just didn't want to mention it. - Nick [/QUOTE]
