Next in Jon’s efforts to clear out old tech…

A 2010 MacBook my father used to use
This model: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-core-2-duo-2.4-white-13-polycarbonate-unibody-mid-2010-specs.html
8Gb RAM, 240Gb SSD

*BUT* the battery will not charge. I replaced the battery, same problem. The power supply is OK as it charges another Mac fine.

NVRAM and SMC reset change nothing. Cleaning charging port changes nothing.

Mac works OK with charger plugged in, but unplug and it dies.

Any other obvious things I can check?
