I replaced the battery on my MacBook A 1278 about a month ago, and it will not charge now. When it is plugged in I get a green light on my charger but it does not charge the battery and when the charger is unplugged the computer shuts off. Is there a fix for this or would I just have to purchase another battery?
Please go here and select your exact machine. There are 12 different A1278 machines. http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-loo… Next go here and download and run Coconut Battery and let us know your results http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutba…
There is a known problem with an ic chip on the logic board on the 2.0 Ghz version of these MacBooks. It will run from a charged battery, but will not charge the battery itself.
