This was my understanding. I was just more so curious if I could use it as a laptop I can chuck in a bag and use when I travel around as a beater. I know that sounds like a sin with a MacBook. I used it when I was into photography back in the day, it's been beat down and worn down. Do you know how much that would cost (+/-) to fix? If it's something around a few hundred bucks to get two MacBooks that work for what I need, that would be fine with me! :)

I currently have two older Macbooks (2008) and they will not charge at all. One of them is at 0% and I have tried to use another charger, I've tried a battery replacement, and to no avail. I brought it in to the Apple Store in Toronto and was told that this was a known issue on 2008 Macbooks but there is no solution.

I've tried resetting the SMC, and have tried many other things listed on the support site but have had no luck. Do you have any suggestions as to what I might want to look into next? The Macbooks, for being 2008, still work perfectly fine but I just always have to have them plugged in in order to use them.

Edit: I do not have the laptop with me and can't recall the Cycle Count off the top of my head for both of them, but I believe they were +/- 900 range.
