[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1761170, member: 110816"] Looks like the charging circuitry of the MBP is broken so it is operating entirely out of the AC power. However, the start-up cycle likely wants to detect some power on the battery before proceeding, thus as long as the battery has some juice it in, it passes the boot up test and the MBP continues to operate on AC power.. Replacing the logicboard is likely the only solution to this problem, but being a 2008 MBP, it isn't worth it to do that. I think it's time for an upgrade to a newer MBP.. [/QUOTE]
