MACBOOK PRO 2010 DIM GREEN Charger Light won't boot up.
Boots only on SMC Bypass mode
Battery doesn't charge
Changed DC-In Board but still the problem doesn't solve

Could someone please help in diagnosis :confused::(

Update : After 3 days long charging, the battery indicator blinks all leds for 5 times
and when i try to switch on the macbook using powerbutton , the power button led indicator flashes once and it doesn't start . Still trying to figure out the issue. Please help

The dim green light is a sign of the SMC not seeing the magsafe charger.

This sounds like a liquid damaged system, very common. Get the schematic and check the data lines on the battery connector for a possible short in the SMC lines.

Does the BIL read the battery charge level if you press the button?
