Battery was in need of replacement. Now it won't turn on, or charge.
I’m working on my girlfriends a1369 MacBook Air. It has been working fine aside from having the “service battery” message in OSX. Well, I was getting ready to buy a new battery, but now the laptop won’t charge, or turn on. There is no longer an orange or green light on the Magsafe. I tried a charger from my MacBook Pro and it didn’t work, tried her charger on mine and it’s fine. I cleaned out the port to make sure that wasn’t an issue. I’ve tried resetting the SMC, but it did nothing since it won’t power on. I opened it up and disconnected the battery for an hour and still nothing.
Is this an I/O board problem? Shouldn’t the laptop still power on even with a bad battery?
Is this a good question?
