A friend spilled coffee on my laptop. luckily, it wasn't an awful lot. after a good cleanse everything else seems to work wonders, except the battery won't charge.
is there a good chance the MagSafe board got fried from the spill?
alas, it's not the adapter or outlet, as both are working fine to charge another MacBook.
Is this a good question?

If the unit runs off the magsafe, then it's probably not the DC-IN. It's probably the battery connector. Does it boot and run OK? Download and run Coconut Battery to find its status and let us know: http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutba...

good answer +
the machine would boot and run fine. it was running normally for a few hours before I had to plug it in and realized it wouldn't charge the battery.
I brought it in to be serviced and they ran some diagnostic off a USB key that reported all was well. despite the battery not charging.
thus, I don't have the laptop in my possession now, but what you're suggesting is that the battery needs replacing?
anything that doesn't mean my logic board is fried is good news
annnd their verdict is the logic board needs replacing
