I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro that is not charging. The magsafe just shows a green light when plugged in. The battery status says plugged in but not charging.

The steps I've done so far:
-Replaced the battery
-Replaced the charge port
-Reset SMC
-Tried a different charger

If anyone has any more suggestions I have a second working MacBook of the same model I can try parts from. At this point the only thing I can think of is that there is some issue with the board.

The Charging port of your laptop might have gone bad. Pull out the battery, disconnect the power. Now take a close look at the center post of the charging port in the laptop. Take a thin object (non metallic)and just slightly separate the centre post. This improves contact to the cord. There should now be some more resistance to plugging in and out the cord, but it should still plug into the laptop

Um, read my post, I said I replaced the entire charge port with a working one and it had the same results.
Both charging ports function in the second MacBook I have, same with the battery.
