"I had the same issue with that model...I tried the SMC reset a couple of times did not work, until I removed the battery from the macbook. Once I had the battery off i held the the power button (drained the caps)

and replaced the battery and the power cord and powered the machine on. It booted up like normal. I did experience a few issues when the magsafe plug was removed abruptly, had to drain the caps again and the status indicator light would blink 6 times...once the battery was replaced all was well again.

apple measures the battery in cycles that battery was just used up..."

"So I had the same problem only the machine (Macbook a1342) did not at all want to start.

Magsafe stayed green.

I replace the DC board and voila, the Macbook was back to live and magsafe light was orange. Charging went well and soon got on 20%

To see what would happen, I decided to unplug the magsafe from the machine while having the charger in the outlet. That I plugged the magsafe back onto the machine and I heard and saw a sparkle. Now the light states green but the charge seems normal. I am afraid the DC board is damaged again somehow and wonder why. The charger has the correct value 60W a1344 for the Macbook a1342."

So here is the lineage of my 13” MacBook pro-1278 keyboard stopped working used a spare until I purchased a new key board. Took it down installed and started up keys 1-9 still IN-OP shortly after maybe two uses and a software update it would not TURN on. I noticed a swollen battery so quickly bought a new one with no luck. I replaced the charging port thinking it was junk because it showed it was charged even when battery was unplugged with no luck still shows green. I have tried multiple charging units with the same outcome.

My MacBook does fix after removing back and unplugging battery….but why does it keep doing this? It's annoying to have to continuously remove the back ?
