I've got a problem with charging battery i my HP nc8000 laptop.
Recently i had to exchange motherboard, because of burnt graphic card,
and since then, charging doesn't work. Besides, the battery is working
normally.
Do you have any idea what can be reason of that problem and how to
solve it?

How do you know the battery is working normally? Anyway, my guess is that
you either got a defective refurb motherboard as a replacement (OEM's often
use refurb parts for replacements), or something did not get reconnected
properly when the board was swapped out in the machine. Did you replace the
motherboard yourself? If you did, I'd double-check all the connections to
the board. If the problem persists, I'd call HP in either case.

Because laptop is working on it, without power supply.

I had motherboard changed in a service. It's possible that they
connected something inproperly. because, for instance, multibay LED is
on, but there's no device in that port.

That's a pretty good indication that they didn't do something right.
I'd call HP or the service center.
