Hi,
I replaced the magsafe connector board on my macbook and the battery at the same time. Now it seems as if there is only a very weak connection to the battery.
If I pull the power connector from the computer while in use it shuts down.
If I pull the power connector from the computer while it is in sleep I can press the power button to wake it and it retains its state, as if waking from a deep sleep.
The battery is seen by the computer.
When I put in the new battery it took 8 hours to charge.
Re-installing the old battery shows the same symptoms.
So I'm thinking that The magsafe board is not telling the computer to switch to battery power. Is there any way to fix without switching logic board?
