I replaced the topcase and now battery will not accept a charge. Works fine while plugged into outlet. Magsafe does not light up unless I plug into another MBP prior to connecting it to the repaired one, and only lights up for a few seconds. Ive reset the SMC and checked battery status, says in good condition.
Prior to replacing topcase battery was fine.
Is this a good question?

Double check that connector, and the cable for proper fit/damage. Many times people damage connectors tearing them from the logic board, or, think that they have a good connection when it isn't completely square or "clicked" in.

Download and run Coconut Battery and let us know your results. I suspect your MagSafe board or your connection from the MagSafe board to the logic board. http://www.coconut-flavour.com

I installed the battery into another MBP to fully charge & reinstalled into defective one.
