So, I'd been working with an after-market battery, by Anker, which was reviewed highly on Amazon. Over time if the computer was run until the battery died, the computer wouldn't turn on. I'd have to remove the battery, hold down the power button to discharge any additional power, put it back in, and sometimes that little white light would come, and sometimes it wouldn't. Sometimes it would take leaving the laptop without a battery overnight. I was able to get it to work the last 4 times that happened, but now, despite purchasing an Apple OEM battery, the unit is completely unresponsive. The battery will charge, the magsafe adapter seems to work properly, but going from the battery to booting the computer itself, nothing. No spills, drops, or other catastrophic events. Any ideas? My wife needs this unit since it's her only computer and doing certain work on a tablet or phone is extremely inefficient. Thanks!
