Power button not not working and goes dark after unpluggin power cord

Hi,

My MacBook has a strange behavior.

I can't power it on using the power button (maybe keyboard defect) and to make it worse as soon as I disconnect the power cord it goes off but it shows that the battery is 47% charged.

The Battery is not charging and not discharging (tried several adapters) Apples built in check says "good".

I can't perform the SMC reset because of the defective power button. From the inside it looks good, no obvious water damage or corrosion. I went to Apple and they told me this was a logic board failure due to water damage.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks for your help!
