Why did you replace the original? Liquid spill? Fall/drop? - battery not charging?

liquid spill. Unknown what type of liquid. No visible corrosion on logic board or DC jack.

Aside from corrosion (check both sides) you must look for burn marks and swollen components. Use a magnifier. You could try using the jumpers to boot if you have a known good, charged, battery. You could try putting the battery in MacBook Unibody Model A1278

2 GHz (A1278) or 2.4 GHz (A1278) - uses the same battery.

I looked very closely for burn or corrosion marks but could not find any. The customer decided to buy a new computer instead of wasting more time and money on it. Thank you all for your suggestions.
