Thanks for great tutorial!
Yep, what are the signs of bad dc-in board?
When I plug in the charger, LED on magsafe connector doesn't light up.
AC Charger Information:
Connected: Yes
ID: 0x0000
Revision: 0x0000
Family: 0x0000
Serial Number: 0x00000000
Charging: No
For some reason charging doesn't start, my battery has only 600 cycles on it.
Can you guys help?
P.S. I tried plugging other adapters thats working, same thing (
Did you ever get a solution? I got a new MacBook Pro and didn’t use this one for 2 months, then went to charge it and nothing happens! No light on the charger and the battery is totally dead! I’m going to replace this DC board and maybe the battery. Did you get yours working?
I Have replaced the battery and the machine still works under the power from the new battery but the LED won’t come on the magsafe charger. Now I have replaced the DC In board and still not charging. the charger works on the other Mac in the house. What could the issue be?
