I have tried two magsafe power adapters and there is no green light. I wonder if it could be the computer rather than the Magsafe? I have rest the Power supply by disconnecting and holding down the power button for 5 sec to avail. Can anyone with some experience tell me what to try next please?
MacBook 13", Mac OS X (10.6.2), 2.4GHz, 4Gb ram
Take it in for service.

It seems to be working again but it did this before so I am not sure for how long. The fault ! If any, seem to be intermittent. I am perplexed. Any useful suggestions?
Where, we I've in the Highlands of Scotland.
Go to the Lowlands. 😁
Check for contaminants in the charging port.
Be sure to perform the SMC reset correctly before giving up:

Thanks John,
It seems as if there is a faulty connection - not from the charger but from the MacBook end. I tried cleaning the connections but I am not sure what to use to clean those properly. It is intermittent so it may be something is not quit connecting.
Currently it is charging but if I remove the charger and put it on again chances are it won't connect, It is very hit and miss, mostly miss. But as I say it not the Magsafe.
Any advice would be welcome.
Check the photographs on this page, especially Step 7:
Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
Look for pins that are stuck. Don't scratch the gold plating.
They recommend using a cotton swab or (dry, soft) toothbrush to clean the port and connector. I would avoid any kind of fluid, or toothpaste.
Try flipping the adapter so that its connections are reversed 180°.
I have now tried everything and it has stopped working. I am told buy a repair shop it might be either the MagSafe board or the logic board.
Can anyone give some thoughts on these to other possible cause/solutions please.
Thanks
I also have the exact same issue with my magsafe board, it seems as if there is nothing i can personally do to rectify the problem. i just want to know how and why it broke? as its always pluged in and never leaves my desk.. is it a manufacturing issue?
13" MacBook will not charge, no green light.
