Hi gcain. I had so meny problems with this board and working only with good battery and in fact this board need a ORIGINAL ac adapter. With chines and hight copy ac adapter it works and charge the battery but need you have to connect the battery always. With ORIGINAL ac adapter ONLY it works without battery.

MDY; thanks for your input.

I am using a genuine apple charger, but it's a MagSafe1, not 2. Maybe there is something in that... Either way, it's working now which is good.

Just in case someone comes across this thread;

MDY was onto it.
Board boots every time with a MagSafe2 (no battery) but won't boot with a MagSafe1 using a MagSafe1-to-MagSafe2 Adapter. Both are 85w.

Mark it solved please.

Another thing with this board;

Trackpad worked, keyboard did not work. Tried a known good keyboard, didn't work either.

I swapped the trackpad cable, and the keyboard started working.

So, the trackpad cable on the trackpad which worked, was causing the keyboard, which also [technically] worked to not work. :/
