wont charge if plugged in and makes weird noise.
Hello!
I have a Black MacBook 13" with 2GHz Core Duo. I can power on my laptop and everything works (a little slower than usual). When I plug in my charger it makes a weird noise, there is a weird smelll near the keyboard (kinda like burnt plastic) and it wont charge the battery. It will only charge the battery if I turn off the laptop. The battery is new and charges fully when the laptop is off.
I used this laptop for about a year in Indonesia where there are crazy humidity levels. Now I live in Ecuador and the weather is cold and dry. I thought it might have something to do with that.
I'm a big fan of ifixit and have solved many problems with your help, thanks for your time!

Could be humidity. I would open the system up and see what is burning. I would recommend not using the system for now as you could make things worse.

I opened up the laptop and found no signs of visible burning... However the magsafe board does look like it has a tan or something lol. I removed the RAM and used a can of dust cleaner to clean the motherboard a bit. Could it be the magsafe board?

Also, even though it is a new battery when I charge it completely it will only last one hour. Then I plug in the charger but it starts with the weird sound and the small light doesn't go on. I have charged other laptops with this charger and they do fine. The fan seems to be working a lot and its very noisy too, more than the normal noise you would get from a macbook.

Sometimes the bluetooth and camera won't work but these are issues that don't bother me as much. Maybe they are symptoms of something else?
