Battery shows it is 97% Charged but not working?

Hello, I am still working on the Macbook Pro that has been damaged by a fall. Like I said in previous posts. The screen does not work, just goes to white then black screen. It runs on a external monitor. No keyboard or trackpad working so I am using a blue tooth keyboard and a mouse. Usb plugs work.

I need to plug in to outlet to run the computer even though after downloading coconutBattery 2.8 it is recognizing the battery, showing Current Charge, Maximum Charge 97% and showing Current Capacity and Design Capacity 97% information is reading correctly as far as model and age etc. If I disconnect the magsafe then it shuts off it needs to be plugged in an outlet. I was wondering if anyone would know any information about this. I will probable send the logic board out to be serviced in the next week or so.

It will cost a lot (new case and display) to make this machine work… better to part it out and take that money, along with what the replacement/repair parts would cost and buy a new(er) machine.

First I don't think the LVDS cable is your problem with the display. Often the driver logic mounted on the back side of the LCD gets damaged when banged which I suspect is the case here. It will likely need a new screen.

The fact the keyboard and trackpad are not working sounds like it got hit quite hard to damage them. Did the bottom case get pushed in? If that is where the damage is you may have a damaged logic board and/or the connections along the edge.

As far as the battery, you will likely need to check the SMC services to see whats happening. Download this little gem coconutBattery 2.8 so you can check it out. Let us know what you see.

Dan, I do not know where to start first. How do I check if the logic board needs repair? Do I send it out? she works fine except for the screen and keyboard and battery not charging. I downloaded the coconut battery 2.8 and it is not charging. It shows nothing. Will I need to disassemble the entire screen to check the wiring? Or purchase an new screen assembly and then if the logic board has damage by the fuse to the cable? I would like to know what someone with way more experience would do first.

What do you mean coconut shows nothing? It should show you the batteries and what their charge cycle count is. If it doesn't then you have a deeper problem than the battery its self. Was (is) the bottom cover or sides dented?

It reads current charge not available, max charge NA, Current capacity NA, Design capacity NA, It tells me the correct info on the model and age. Battery load cycles NA, TEMP. NA, Battery power usage NA. The top case is dented on the left side where all usb and slots are and is curved up. I can send you photos of case and logic board if you would like.

This is not sounding good here ;-{ If coconut can't 'see' the battery then the SMC logic is also damaged. I suspect this is getting to the point of not being economically repairable. You need a lot of stuff and the case maybe shorting out something here as well.

If you want to post some good hires pics of the impact area externally and the logic board nearest the impact so we can see things maybe something will pop out.
