My macbook was out of battery so i went to charge it. My charger blew (popped, bang, adapter broke up) so I replaced it with a brand new 85w magsafe charger. The charger cable connection light wont come on to indicating its charging BUT the laptop screen still comes up with the empty battery/needs charging graphic suggesting the laptop is still ok. I’ve opened it up and I can’t see anything black or blown up. Thoughts?
no light on the magsafe would indicate a dc-in board or mainboard issue
@Adam Pritchard - how about installing this gem of an app to look deeper into your batteries health and your charger CoconutBattery post a snapshot of the main window here for us to see.
I’d check around the charging connector for blown components like fuses etc.
