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

For some reason charging doesn't start, my battery has only 600 cycles on it.
Can you guys help?

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?
