Obviously, this isn't a PowerPC, but it seems like the folks in this section of the forum are also quite knowledgeable on early Intel stuff, so figured I'd ask here. I have an Early 2008 white Macbook which will not charge. The battery status is always "Not Charging" both with the original (OEM) battery and a new (Chinese) battery I bought from Amazon. I have attached CoconutBattery screenshots for each. Interestingly, both report their "Serial" and "Battery Failure" status as unknown. Might that be a clue? Thanks for the assistance!
EDIT: I forgot to mention I did already try an SMC reset. I also just reinstalled the previously missing AHT through a link found on the garden. The basic test didn't find any issues, so I'm running the extended test now.
