Troubleshooting MacBook Air 13" water damage

Like many others, I also got hit by water damage in my late 2010 MBA.

Following all advise in these forums, I disassembled, cleaned (with 99% isopropy alcohol), dried and reassembled all parts following ifixit instructions to remove upper case. However no luck so far ;)

Magsafe LED light is dim pointing to a potential issue with I/O board. I've already tried SMC reset and tried to power up after disconnecting battery.

No visible corrosion or water damage inside. Before I order replacement parts, is there a way to troubleshoot battery or Logic Board? Any other things I can try out?

Thanks in advance.

Unless you have another one of these lying around, there's not much you can do. My advice: Order a new power port, and if that fixes it, then great. If not, replace the logic board.
