hi, i have a macbook a1181 from 2006 i really like its design, but the battery was swollen so i am trying in every way to turn it on only with the charger attached but only a green light appears but nothing appears on the macbook and it still does not turn on. Could someone help me out? thanks
Try an SMC Reset.
With the older white MacBooks without a battery installed you may need to hold the power button for a second or so longer than usual or perhaps may even need to press the power button multiple times.
Try unplugging the charger from the electrical outlet for a minute to reset the charger's internal circuitry.
There may also be a problem with the charger, DC-In Board, or even Logic Board if the laptop won't power on.
If you have a first gen white MacBook with just a 32 bit Core Duo (not a Core 2 Duo), then don't spend any money on it as that first gen model has some issues. The late 2006 to 2009 Core 2 Duo models were much better.
It is best to only use an official Apple charger. The quality of many third party chargers is terrible and many times dangerous. If the laptop doesn't sense the charger properly, then the laptop will not power on or even charge as the laptop contains some safety circuitry.
the charger has a particular history, i ordered it from ebay by svaglio with 60w so today i bought a universal power supply and i cut the plug of the magsafe and attached it on the power supply, there is the voltage that changes from 10 to 24 volts or watts I do not remember. The macbook is 2008 with 64 bit mac os sierra processor installed on that mac
