Hi Stratos, Battery is ok. charges up to full capacity, according to display. using mac charger and led changes from amber to green. I tried the other you tube fix before posting, It didn't make any difference at all. Hence why i think its a hardware issue. Its a mid 2012 from what i understand

Re: MacBook Pro A1278

A couple of things to check:

see if removing the webcam cable makes any difference - clean/check soldering on connector

check around the SMC for corrosion

remove battery level indicator cable and test

check trackpad cable/connector for corrosion

Hi,

I have a resolution. I found some corrosion on pin 2 of r5054, Replaced r5054 as it was open. also cleaned corrosion around pin 2. Macbook now runs happily. Looks like this goes to a bi line on the CPU_PECI. Cheers for your advice
