Just replaced the battery. When old battery(swollen, will not charge) is plugged in, MagSafe stays green. When new battery is in, MagSafe stays orange. Always, no display, no power. I just used the computer two days ago before the new battery arrived, with power adapter plugged in, with no problems. I am a beginner, so any advice, try and dumb it down for me. Any suggestions? ****update: now the MagSafe is green with the new battery, so it has charged. But there’s still no power. No display, no sound. Seems this isn’t a battery problem anymore. Any troubleshooting suggestions?
The battery, which appears to be charging, may just need overnight to get fully charged up.
