Ramon, Doesn't sound like a MB failure. I'd bet that you have a failed AC wall unit. The light should not blink but be steady if the charger is working properly. Test with known good AC Unit first. The wire into the connector is notoriously liable to break. The little white bricks are the flimsiest, while the many have problems with the Yo-yo's. A market has develepoded for 3rd party ac units. The aftermarket mini-bricks are dynamite and not very expensive, more rugged, though not as elegant. I would rather have rugged. ~Run -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
