Can I wire power directly from the MagSafe connector to the battery?
I opened my MacBook Pro to tighten loose screen hinges and did not disconnect the battery when doing so (as iFixit instructed) as I did not have the correct tool at the time. I must have shorted something and caused some damage to the logic board as ever since the battery will not charge.
Machine works fine from AC power when charger is connected
Machine works fine from battery power if battery is charged in another machine then transferred to mine
Steps taken
1. Reset SMC / PRAM
2. Taken to Apple who tried changing the MagSafe DC board, battery and charger.
Conclusion
Logic Board needs replacing.
My question is
Can I directly wire power from the MagSafe connector to the battery internally?
UPDATE
Strangely after this machine has sat unused for a couple of years when I plugged it back in the battery started charging. I reinstalled Snow Leopard (as HDD was blank) then upgraded to Yosemite. Now I have the same issue. I don't think this is OS specific as the battery will not charge when machine is powered on or off.
Questa è una buona domanda?
