Great job! I have been working hard with my son (13) to figure out why the Macbook of my other son (11) does not charge the battery.
With your information and the circuit diagram of the Macbook we will keep on working.
Now we are confident that the problem is the missing communication between the Macbook and this tiny Maxim IC: no green LED, no orange LED and no charging, no information about the charger visible at the Macbook.
Do you have a clue what could cause such a "communication breakdown" between the charger and the Macbook?
The charger itself works just fine (in fact right now at our other Macbook).
Thanks!
