Magsafe light won't come on

Quick history:

Magsafe charging light wouldn't come on, battery wouldn't charge. Battery was failing (coconut battery app, Apple store all agreed this was true), bought a replacement from Egoway, installed. Coconut battery app now shows it as good.

Magsafe light still won't come on. Charge indicator on screen (upper right) says it is charging, but it's not progressing at all. Tried resetting SMC and PRAM, but same results.

Help?

Try checking Coconut or system information/power when magsafe is plugged in. You should have a confirmation that is charging from them indicating "charging with" in Watts from Coconut and amperage from system info in mA.
