Battery not charging or seen by OS

Hi There,

Here's my problem,

The Macbook is functioning fine, but the battery shows a black cross. I can't boot without the power adapter connected but once started, even right in the beginning, i can disconnect the power and it boots up fine. The magsave connector is green.

Ive done the following step,

Reset the pram and smc even disconnected the pram cel for a wile.

Tested the battery and adapter on my other macbook (same model) And finally swapped both battery cable and mac connector with the working macbook. None solved the problem.

So i'm thinking its the logic board. and i would think this is reparable if i know witch component is the most common to fail.

Dos anyone have an suggestion?

Best regards,
