Hi, I revived coffee damaged MacBook Pro. Cleaned logicboard and all is working except keyboard backlight. Mousepad does not click but works. Battery is not charging at all even it has less than 200 cycles. Magsafe charging light is orange and the computer works fine as long as plugged in but dies if unplugged. Have reset SMC without effect. Is it for sure the battery or perhaps another connector/issue inside the logicboard or the I/O board? Thanks for any advice.
Not good ;-{ The charging logic is damaged on the main logic board. The Coffee did you in. The power is not getting to the battery as we can see the MagSafe is connected ‘Power Adapter - Connected’ but the ‘Charging with’ is showing Zero Watts and the batteries current charge is Zero mAh. All of the power is going into running of the system nothing is getting to the battery Time to find someone who can service your logic board.
Hi Dan, Not sure if you see this. But on a whim/hunch I went out and bought a new battery and replaced it with the old swollen one in the computer. You can see here the coconut battery shows what happened.
Basically it fixed it! I am very happy man. Now the only remaining issue is the lack of keyboard light. For sure caused by the coffee spill. Would you have any idea whether that is relatively easily fixable? At this point it is just icing on the cake, and I am happy I got the macbook back to almost full functionality regardless. Cheers Simon
