Why did you need to get to the mouse pad? What was the original problem?

Did you unplug the battery before doing anything else? How did you pry out the battery? Is it damaged in any way?

Sadly, the battery in this system is glued down! Often you need to replace the battery unit after pulling it free. As the force to pull the battery cells free breaks the internal connections within it and/or damages battery cells case which could lead to a fire!

HI thanks for your help! Just two more questions the charger light green to orange . does this mean it charging ? and I have lost the 60w charger only have A 45w, This powers up the MacBook pro but turns off half way loading the OS ? Charger problem ?

by

Well, the anemic rate of charge from the 45W unit will take just too long to charge your battery. I would get the correct charger before going forward here.

If your battery is damaged some of the cells may work which is why its able to appear to start up but as it doesn't have the needed amperage to supply the complete system (as it goes though the boot up) it dies.

Combining the two issues makes it very hard to diagnose.

Does the progress bar get about 60% of the way through before it shuts down? Try booting in Safe Mode ( hold down the Shift key on start up), let us know your results. Have you have any video anomalies like artifacts, mixed colors, any strange video issues?

How did it do in Safe Mode?

by

It Does the same ! 50% 60% and restarts ? I think the battery has got damage when I removed it ! and the charger is only 45 watts! maybe not enough power to full boot to the OS ? I will be get a 60w charger soon, will see if it will full boot then ? ( I hope so)
