Hi everybody!
My Macbook Air 11 inch mid 2013 is working perfectly fine only it doesn’t charge. No light on the magsafe —> charging icon shows —> battery is not charging —> the macbook itself is running on the electricity grid not the battery when the magsafe is plugged in.I have installed a new batteryI looked all over the internet but have found no solution until I found this site :-)The logic board is clean, no water damage I have tried: cleaning the magsafe connectorresetting SMC and NRAMBooting without a battery On images below: The icon of charging is on, but it says “Battery is not charging”
My questions Is the Magsafe not the problem because if connected my Macbook is getting power through the magsafe. (the battery is not going down) So the Magsafe must be working, right?Its not the IO board because of the same reason above? Or am I mistaken?Anybody have any suggestions how to fix this problem Thanks in advance.

You likely have a bad MagSafe charger or the I/O Board which is what the charger connects to is damaged. Apple 45W MagSafe Power Adapter for MacBook Air Make sure you get a REAL Apple unit as there are many knockoff’s which can damage your system. MacBook Air 11" (Mid 2013-Early 2015) I/O Board There is 4 contacts for power and one pin for the charging logic within your system to communicate with the charger and the chargers LED. So we need to first see if the chargers connector is making proper contact to the system.
