MacBook Core Duo 2.0GHz A1181
Can anyone help? Bought laptop about 3 years ago, recently laptop don't charge battery, I have 2 batteries both are fully charged before it stop charging. I am sure the battery is OK. Strange, it works with power adapter or battery but it don't charge and no green or yellow light on the power adapter..
Is this a good question?

Inspect your battery connector for logic board connection and/or corrosion on the pins: MacBook Core 2 Duo Battery Connector Replacement
This is the type of part you're looking at: MacBook Battery Connector/Sleep Sensor (non-Energy Star)
Also download and run Coconut battery to see if the batteries are being seen. http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/19085/c...

The charging circuit itself may be burned out. Incredibly rare, but I've seen it in non-Mac laptops.
No corrosion on the pins and battery is perfectly lock to laptop. After install Coconut battery, battery are seen.
Laptop can power up by battery or ac adapter, or both.
But no green or yellow at the tip of the magsafe power adapter. I have 3 ac adapters, none of them shows green or yellow light. I am sure it is not the ac adapters.
Thank you

Pretty obvious but have you tried resetting the SMC?
