Hi, the Macbook Air 11" Mid 2011 is not charging the battery. The light of the Magsafe connector is always green. The computer will not start up with the Magsafe Poweradapter connected. What I have tried so far: used other power supply replaced battery reset SMC reset PRAM upgraded to Yosemite After the battery change the computer will start up. But the computer will not charge the battery and the battery will run down even when the charger is connected. Do you have suggestions on what I could change/check? (IO Board? Logic Board?) Christian
Hi Christian, I’d definitely check the I/O board first. It looks like the power from the charger isn’t reaching the MacBook. Check the I/O board cable. If that doesn’t help, I’d also check the battery. It’s pretty unlikely though, because the MacBook should run off external power if a charger is connected, no matter if a battery is available or not. But you never know.
Hey Christian, Am facing the same problem! Did you get to fix your MBA? Tyson.
