My Macbook hasn't been able to be charged for a while now. Basically if you take the battery out while the computer is running and its plugged in, it will shut off but in a few seconds it lets me power it on without the battery in it..
So normally i just put the battery back in and leave it plugged in so the battery keeps its charge. It's been at 37% for a few weeks and will not charge up, it just looses power if disconected from the power cord.

So when i go to system profiler it says,

AC Charger Information:

Connected: Yes
Charging: No


Anyone know how i could go about fixing this?
 
yeah, basically i tried another battery and another charger and the problem persists. I figured the connection (from the charger to the battery) inside the computer was damaged somehow. Haven't tried the PMU yet though, I'll post any progress as it comes.
