Q: I have a Older Mac Book Pro 2009 roughly.. and has a removable battery.  The battery appeared to die.  Replaced and still it wont work no LED on the charger.

Ok changed out the battery since the charger was showing no lights on the older battery.  And so after changing out the battery, I had 76% of a charge on the battery in the screen when I started up the computer.   But then as it drained it I decided to charge it and found that the LED on the charger was still not lighting up.  And the battery reflects as if there is no battery on the screen when I. go through the process of turning it on with the Powercord plugged into the wall and do that multiple button start up trick.    I;ve tried the SMC reset, Pram etc... but still can't get the battery to be seen with the charger.. I read multiple help forums and youtube videos and no success... Any help..

 

Thanks in advance..
