It looks just like the bluetooth board connector (and is in fact located right next to it, near the fan) on the logic board, but it's twice as long (same width and pin layout and everything). I searched on eBay and Google for a picture of one like mine, but could not find any. This logic board, for some reason, has a connector on the board that I've never seen. I don't have a schematic for this board (820-2567-A) so I can't tell where the battery/charging circuit is. If not, what should I check? There's no water damage and no other damage. Is there some fuse that controls battery recognition/charging that could be blown? Similar to the way the backlight fuse can blow, etc. I have tested the RAM and RAM slots, both are fine I have re-installed OSX, both Snow Leopard and Lion I have tried the "power button down for 10 seconds" and the "power button down for 5 seconds, plug in charger, wait 5 seconds" methods, each to no avail I have reset the PRAM (cmd,opt,p,r) and SMC (shift, ctrl, opt, pwr) multiple times I have tried multiple, known-good magsafe boards I have tried multiple, known-good chargers (both 60W and 85W varieties) I have tried multiple, known-good batteries I think I was able to get it to say "not charging" a few times (I think this was immediately following the slew of SMC resets), but I can't get it to repeat that now Computer displays "there are no available batteries" in top right of screen with where the battery should be when booted into OSX Charger will turn orange for approximately 3 seconds when you first power on, but then resets to green Problem: The main problem with this computer is that the battery is not detected and therefore it does not charge. I'm working on one now that has me stumped by a couple of things. I repair MacBooks as a hobby, and have worked on quite a few A1342 models.
