I have trouble making sense of this. did you buy a new Apple charger or a 3rd party knockoff?

First of all try resetting the computers SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 As you have tried 3 or more chargers, unfortunately it`s more likely that your Mac computer has developed a problem as long as your are certain that the chargers are 100% authentic. Best thing for you to do now is find the nearest Mac authorised retailer and have the computer checked or better still an Apple store if available in your country. You can also contact Apple support and see what they recommend, they are likely to recommend a return to an authorised repar center.

His original charger was damaged by his kids, second charger worked for a short period, he than tried a least one more charger at a local retailer which also failed to charge the machine.

Authenticity of the chargers is unknown, although you dont in general see a lot of copycat Mac stuff about, unless the original charger was physically damaged logic dictates that the issue lies with the Mac. An SMC reset wont hurt outside of that it may get expensive, some MBP do have separate PSU boards which do not require the Logic Board to be replaced to rectify a charging issue.

I believe so, I would just make sure that you do have a 100% working charger. if it works on another machine that should be good enough. Just bear in mind that once you change the power supply board the fault may still remain, which is then likely to be the Logic Board.

ifixit.com will be able to show you detailed breakdowns of you machine. Apple uses a thread locking on many of the screws, so it there is a lot of resistance when removing any, just use a little heat (hair-drier) so you don't damage any of the screw heads which can be difficult to remedy.

YEA i know just hope like hell it dose the job.
i did take the power board in to a sparky i know and he said it looks like the resistor has burnt out but its hard to see or say so?
but if that did happen and it blow the resistor would it stop there? or do u think i mite hav a problem with the logic board from it????
i have found one on ebay that i just payed 4 so just need to wait and try and see wot happens
hope 4 the best

Much depends on the design of the circuitry, in general such boards are designed to fail first and protect the primary boards, however I don't have explicit knowledge of the design so I am very much generalising.

Best way to put it to you is that; you have little to loose and much to gain by trying.

I would just take it to the apple store and have them look at it. Especially considering that these can catch on fire and blow up.
