Q: Not charging white macbook early 2008

So, I bought a new charger about 2 weeks ago and it worked fine. Until today. The charger still works and there is nothing in the Magsafe port. I tried to take out the battery and start it up, but it still wont charge. If someone can please help, that would be awesome. Thank you.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Have you reset the SMC? What is the cycle count and battery health? Apple charger or third party knockoff? You know the charger still works how?

I tried to reset the SMC and nothing. The charger is a third party and the charger works because it charged another mac. I can't check the cycle number because the mac is dead.

Since you charged another Mac with the third party charger did you try to charge your Mac with the other computers charger?

Also do you have your original charger and did you try that on the other Mac? And if the other Mac will accept your battery have you thought of charging it using the other Mac?
