Isn't it obvious?

I took mine that did that into apple. They had to replace the magsafe charger. (Better that than the computer itself.)

This is a known new battery.
Should I also mention that the machine will not boot.

Additionally, I asked the question because I wanted to know if there might be a way to diagnose this machine from the way the lights flash. ie. Do I need a new Magsafe board or logic board?

Thanks for your reply.

As of this post the magsafe light stays green. I will update this post as more info becomes available. Thanks for all who help.

Does the battery symbol has an "X" on it? Take it the the Apple Store.

I have several extra 80watt magsafe power adapters. Can I safely use in a smaller (60watt) macbook?

(also, I tired to start a new thread but can't for the life of me find a "new thread" or new topic button!) (sorry!)

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. I would imagine it would eventually do damage to your computer.

Look in the mid left of this picture, just a little below the MacRumors logo.
