Hey Guys,
Hopefully someone can help me here
Basically it started 2 days ago, i plugged a charger in to test it and it shorted out when i removed it.
Now my laptop does not charge or run off the AC adapter without fiddling/shorting it out again.
I should mention the macbook has been very well looked after...
no water spills no drops.
Macbook runs fine on Battery, everything else works fine besides charging or running solely off the AC.
Here is a video i found on youtube with the exact problem.

I've had the DC board replaced, still no luck. tried other chargers and nothing.
the magport light just does not come on. multiple SMC resets.
Someone on another forum said that i have a "hot ground" and had probably blown a FET or multiple FETs on the logic board. I would usually take this to apple but since my macbook is now out of warranty they will want 800+ in AUS to replace a new one. (ive removed the logic board and looked for visible damage but it looks clean.)
Macbook details.
late 2011 Macbook Pro
i7-2.2GHz
Serial: C02GW0WCDV7N
Thanks in advance.
