Battery not recognized, battery indicator not working
My logic board died because of static electricity, no sign of life in my macbook. I took it to a local service and they successfully repaired it, they replaced the charge controller on the logic board.
However, it only works when the charger is plugged in, as the battery is not detected. It was tested with multiple working batteries without success, so I think it's the logic board.
The guys in the repair service said they don't know why it isn't detecting the battery as they checked everything and they couldn't identify the problem.
So I took it home (at least it's not completely dead) and now I'm trying to find a solution to my problem. As far as I know the battery indicator should work even when there is no battery or it is not detected, but it doesn't even light up. I tried the SMC bypass, but when I disconnected the charger it died instantly.
Also, the led on the charger is always green, if it means something.
Is this a good question?

Just to be clear here are you speaking about the finders battery status or the systems built-in battery checker on the side of the system or both?
