New battery from ifixit will not charge...help!
My friend has a Macbook Air A1237 from mid-2008 that had the original battery fail by way of expanding inside the case. The machine is running OSX 10.5.8.
I helped her select the new battery here on ifixit and replaced it for her.
From the get-go, it would act like it was charging at 0% but would fail to have the black X on the battery.
I have reset SMC several times with no change in the problem. Most recently, I even repaired disk permissions (and several repairs were made) before resetting SMC and still no improvement.
Before it got to the black X, I ran coconutbattery on the machine and it shows the battery as having -1mAh for both current and maximum charge and is 100%.
Is dit een goede vraag?
