I also went back to 10.5.x to install apples battery fix 1.4 (doesnt work on sl) I have also reformatted and installed osx all over again. Sometimes the light on my battery flashe but its completely dead from not charging. When i shut it down, unplug it n plug it back in the charge light goes amber for a minute or two then turns green. Anyone who's experienced this before have any advice before I go investing in this older but great laptop would be greatly appreciated.Įdit: Everything runs fine, I get the black X in the battery icon.

Im now looking into getting a magsafe dc in board or a new logic board. I have tried a new charger, new battery, PMU/SMC reset but nothing has helped. I have late 2006 macbook that has seen better days, A wile back the battery stopped charging and gave me an X symbol.
