I have similar problem. Im my case, if i bypass the SMC check at booting, the system runs fine on battery, although it does not recognize the battery, fan runs on full speed, and megasafe led on wall charger connector stays off the whole time. Which is normal considering SMC controls both battery management and fan speed. In this state, computer runs on battery without the charger connected.
When I run system through SMC check at booting like in normal booting. macbook wont run on just the battery, I have to connect adapter to use the macbook. The led light on megasafe wall charger connector stays green the whole time, it does not change to orange so it can charge battery. In both situations battery indicator lights on the side of macbook pro doesn't work. They don't work when I press the button, they don't work when I reboot the system like it used to. And yes, I cleaned the megasafe adapter, battery indicator wire is connected to the logic board. The white sleep led light flashes 5 times before booting up. The system won't recognize the battery, system info says:

- and the strange thing is battery indicator sometime has black X on it or sometime it says 0%, and when this happens, system says:

I did reset SMC quite a few time, no result. I did reset PRAM/NVRAM few time, no result.
I need help. My macbook pro is Mid 2009, so the warranty is out of the question. I replaced batteries like three times already, haven't found solution yet!
