Q: battery sporadically recharges even after a new battery was replaced for a macbook 13 inch 2009
The macbook battery won't charge sporadically, i replaced the battery but now fear it is the actual magnetic power interface to battery, I have tried different cords with simalr outcomes. Suggestions?

Hi. Sorry none of that worked. If I understand correctly. Your battery has run down and the mag safe is not charging, so it will not turn on. When you have the mag safe plugged in, do you see a green light showing on it? Did you clean the plug on the Macbook Pro? You can use a cotton tip dampened with alcohol to do this. You have tried other mag safe's and get the same results,right? You could have a failed dc in board. That is what the mag safe plugs into. It in turn plugs into the logic board.I had to fix a similar problem on a Ibook. It would run off the battery as long as charged, but not off the mag safe.
