I have Macbook Pro 17” 2006 thats not turning on anymore.

When i plug the magsafe the light is turning on but very dark.
the light of the magsafe is dim.

What the problem could be?

Thanks
 
Inspect the connector pins on both the power adapter, and the magsafe connector. Make sure that none of the pins are stuck down, and that there is no stray material stuck in the pins area. Remove the battery, and try the magsafe again. If the power adapter turns on (the LEDs look normal), and you can now now boot (without the battery), then you probably have a bad "left I/O board"
If you still have nothing, try a different magsafe adapter
