I ordered a new battery from ifixit and installed it myself. Now when I turn on my computer, the keyboard only works during the loading screen, the fans are on full blast, and my charger, brand new, will not light up. I've tried to reset the SMC to no success and I let the battery drain till it died. I still think its the SMC not resetting, but what do I need to do to fix it?
Is this a good question?

At this point I normally would recommend installing CoconutBattery but as you can't get the system to boot up we can't diagnose the problem any farther.
I think you're going to need someone with deeper skills to help you diagnose your logic board problem.

@danj lead me to the right answer in the comments. My charger wasn't plug all the way into the logic board. But I'm still having problems with the keyboard and touch-pad though.

Lets check your MagSafe charger & systems connectors. Review this Apple T/N: Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters. Also make sure you have the correct charger for your system.

why abouts did you buy a new battery. most often, it is due to the device not turning on prior to the replacement.

My MagSafe checks out, but I am unable to do the 60 second at the moment because of the state of my laptop but before the repair my charger was working fine as its only 2 weeks old.

@Scott I bought a new battery because the old one was in bad health
