I bought this Late 2007 macbook off of craigslist, and it was working perfectly. But after a little water got mon my macbook and charger, i plugged it in and it had a bright green light and wouldn't charge. The Next day i plugged it in and it only had a dim green light, it wouldn't Start up without the battery, or run without it. Now all i need is the battery in it to start it up and it will run off of the charger, But it still has that dim green light. The charger is a little Damaged, Photo's In the attachments. My dog chewed on it a while back, so can anybody help me? This is my first macbook, And the dvd drive is not working, but i have managed to reinstall SL with USB, So it is not a software problem. We Live A Long way from an Apple Store, so i wanted to know if anybody had an answer as to what this is?

Don’t you know anyone else who has a MacBook or MacBook Pro? Hopefully it’s either the power adapter or the MagSafe board ($30 new) and not something wrong with the logic board.
 
The best bet is to take it to an apple store or maybe you have an authorized repair center closer. I believe you can search for these on apples website.
 
i did take it to an apple store. I WOULD RECOMMEND TAKING IT TO AN APPLE STORE!. They replaced it for free because it is a common problem.
 
Lucky you. My son (1 at the time) was chewing on the magsafe end and shorted ours out. I let it dry overnight and it worked. It was fickle for about a week but it works fine now.
 
Generally they will replace old magsafe bricks if they come apart warranty or not.
