Do not use "so called OEM". Power is not something you can afford to cheapskate on. Use at your own risk. I've seen some cases that the so called OEM charger cause haywire.

To be honest, there's no such thing as OEM for Apple products. 3rd party or china imitation is more like it.

Try asking anyone with original battery to loan you a moment to test.

i did buy an original battery(2nd hand one) and the same problem occured.. so i brought my macbook to mac city to check, they said the wire connection from the battery connector to the logic board is burnt... and they quoted me a price to repair which cost up to RM1700+.. anyone has any thoughts? of course i told them not to repair it cos i might as well buy a new macbook if i were to repair it at that price..

The damage might already been done the moment you put in the "OEM" battery. So put in a ori battery later on wont solve anything.
