Look at the pinout on the bottom of the battery connector circuit board. If there's no gap in the two rows of pins (if both rows contain ten pins), it's the Non-Energy Star version. If there is a gap (two rows of six pins each, separated from two rows of three pins each), then it's the Energy Star version. These two versions aren't interchangeable.

Im sad i did this one + Replacing MacBook Core 2 Duo Magsafe Board, try another charger and still the same symptoms :( wont charge and green light stay on. waste of time and money for my Macbook 2.4Ghz intel core 2 DUO White.
Did you ever resolve the issue? If so, what was the problem? Thank you.
My battery connector looks like the energy star (6+12 pins) but on the motherboard says “apple inc 820-2279-A “ and no ‘energy star’ is written. I assume I should get the energy star model because is identical to mine. However, iFixit points to follow what is written on the board. So, something wrong here…
