Question for pros: MacBook Pro only charges occasionally...
Hey guys,
I am suffering from the following problem:
background:
- after a water-spill, my macbook started showing problems with charging, which increased during the last 6 months to the point where the macbook is nearly unusable. It is a Macbook pro Mid 2010 15" model, battery has 1029 cycles, 85% health, 5868mAh capacity. If it does charge, or i run the macbook on battery when its fully charged, it works like a charm and runs for hours.
problem
- my macbook often fails to recognize the charger and is not charging even while being plugged in
- various problems occur when i plug in the charger, such as:
- charger not recognized (no light, not recognized, not charging)
- green light (not recognized)
- green light (recognized but not charging)
- orange light (but not recognized, or not charging; this one happens rarely)
- weak green light (not recognized)
it does work when:
Which problem occurs seems rather random. The funny thing is that my Macbook Pro will ALWAYS charge after i let the charger be connected for some time. THis can need up to days to happen, but it always does. Unfortunately, being unable to power up your macbook for two days renders it rather unusable.
How I tried to fix it
I tried to be thorough and tried everything i could think of:
- send it to Apple (water damage no warranty...)
- 100000 SMC resets, PRAM resets...
- firmware updates
- disconnecting battery 100 times
- three different MagSafe chargers
- 50 different sockets
- replaced the DC-IN board with a new one, no changes
- completely dismantled and cleaned logic board/macbook several times
help?
So guys, I am completely clueless what i should do next. The battery does not seem to be the issue, neither does the DC-in board, software/firmware... I would guess its the logic-board, which would be really bad.
So, if you got any ideas, I would be really glad to hear them!
Cheers, Wilks Lambda

I've got the exact same issue... Are you saying that the logic board could be repaired and I won't have to replace the whole thing?
