Hello,
is there any way to charge a macbook (such as an external input) when a logic board is broken? Because when I connect magsafe to the macbook, the LED blinking green. I've tried everything, it's a broken board, so I need to charge the battery externally.
Thanks!
 
Are you saying that the built in charging circuitry for your MacBook is defective? The DC input board might be defective but can be easily replaced. See the procedure at www.ifixit.com.


I already replaced the DC input board, but nothing changed. So I disconnect everything from logic board and battery still not charging. Probably logic board is bad.
 
If you already replaced the DC input board and the charging circuitry is still not working, that leaves either the battery itself or the logic board. Replacing the battery can be expensive and a new logic board even more expensive.

Yes, I know. Battery is new. So thats why I’m asking for different solution. Charging battery using lipol battery charger or something like this? Thanks.
 
Sorry, I can't help you with charging the battery externally but I'm sure there are methods of doing so safely. Perhaps someone else can suggest something.
