Q: MacBook insists power supply is connected

i just purchased a used MacBook ultimo 2008. The battery works fine, but it insists that the charger is connected no matter what.

 

The system report says the battery is in normal working condition. and it can see the charger and its serial no. The only thing that changes when i disconnect the charger is whether or not it charges the battery. And this takes an enormous amount of time - it took half an hour to charge 2%.

 

I have tried the following:

 

Reset the SMC

Reset the NVRAM

Tried a different Apple Magsafe charger

Tried a different battery

cleaned the Magsafe adapter on both the macbook and the charger

 

Please help!

MacBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
