MacBook not charging. Charger showing green light!
My MacBook died on me a few days ago. I can't seem to boot it up. At first I thought it was the battery and I replaced it and it seemed to work fine, but the green light on my magsafe adapter stayed on and the battery drained. The battery I replaced has 114 cycles, so I thought maybe it was just a bad battery, but realized it wasn't the battery, but my mac. I noted my magsafe port was melting and peeling off so I replaced the a few days ago, but my MacBook still wont turn on. It will if I put in a fully charged battery, but it's basically useless every time it dies. I bit the bullet and contacted apple and was told my mac was considered "vintage" and "obsolete" so they wouldn't be able to fix it for me.
I want to at least get it so I can back up my hard drive to my external one. I know I should have been keeping up with backing it up periodically, but I didn't.
Things I've tried was new batteries, changing out the magsafe port, resetting the SMC.
Could it possibly be the logic board and is there a way for me to fix it without loosing all my data? I would like to salvage my mac is possible, I've had it for years and until now it hasn't given me issues.
Update I ran a diagnostic on my Mac and it came up saying 4xxx/4/4000005: oòyä “battery”
This is another new battery in place.
UPDATE: this is my info from rubbing coconut battery. It says battery failure even though this is a newly purchased battery....

I have the same issue as well, with 2 different batteries. My drive also got corrupted in the process, I was able to boot up in recovery mode and was able to copy the drive into an external drive as an image. All my data is in the image drive but still shows up as corrupt when i run tests on it. I would like to salvage the computer as well so i can surf the the net and such, kind of a waste ok 2k if you ask me.
The computer wants to boot but shuts down, the battery does get charged and the computer will try to boot without being plugged in. I wish there was a solution for something so petty.
