Macbook Battery Not Detected but stays on when unplugged

After replacing my MacBook 13" Late 2006 inverter cable, I could not turn it on when unplugged, even though the battery indicator indicated 3 out of 5 LEDs. I plugged it to the AC power and then it went on. When it booted, the Magsafe connector was orange and the battery icon was like this

 

0% Left (Not Charging)

Power Source Power Adapter

Time Left Calculating

 

After about a minute it went green, an X appeared on the battery icon and this was the information shown:

 

No Batteries Available

Power Source Power Adapter

 

The thing is, if I unplug the Magsafe connector, the Macbook would still stay on and would read this

 

No Batteries Available

Power Source Battery

 

Whenever I plug in the Magsafe, the LEDs don't flash slowly as they used to before. It seems like the battery only gives energy but doesn't take none from AC source. I tried to drain the battery but it would go off after around 20 minutes, with battery still indicating 3/5 LEDs, I tried to reset and update SMC, I did everything I could find on Google and Apple Discussions. No luck.

All I want to know if it's a computer, battery or software issue. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Adam

Battery stays at zero when charging.

I have had my Macbook Pro since September 2011.  Lately I have been having issues with the battery. My problem is that when I have my macbook plugged in it says zero percent, and tells me to service battery.  When it is unplugged it bounces all over the place from 80%-20% then back up to 91%. Can someone please tell me whether this is fixable without taking it to a store to get fixed?

Won't Charge, Light stays green.

I searched and could not find an answer for my problem. I have a Mid-2010 Macbook Pro. I recently upgraded the RAM and hard-drive. Now my macbook pro will not charge. It is working when it is pluged it but the light stays green and will not go orange. The power seems to keep the mac running but will not charge the battery. I did unplug the battery when workind but have checked and it is reconnected secure. Thanks for any suggestions!
