Not Charging (No Light From MagSafe) After Keyboard Replacement

Hello.

I replaced the keyboard on my Late 2013 Retina, the first two columns of keys had signs of water damage (QAZ WSX) I don’t recall spilling anything on there - at the very most a few drops of water might have splashed it at some point.

Anyways it was working fine for a week after the keyboard was replaced - but not it won’t charge and when I plug it in the magsafe light doesn’t light up.

I verified it’s not the charger - another mac is charging up with it just fine and I tried another charger just to be safe.

Is there any way to tell whether this is a logic board failure or could it be the internal magsafe or something else?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

One of the cable connecting to the AirPort card was loose (broke the connector) could this loose cable have caused a short in the macbook?

Review this Apple T/N Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters make sure you have the correct MagSafe adapter and its connects are clean and in good shape. Tell us what the color of the MagSafe plug LED is Amber or Green.

Unfortunately….you have a bad battery in the laptop. I have never replaced one. Life of a battery will max out after 5 years. I have replaced batteries in powered wheelchair and scooters with same symptoms. Thanks for asking, Matt of Martins TV Repair.

Laptop batteries are a bit different. Besides the issue here is the charging of the battery. BTW - I've seen older batteries still working, they just don't have the run time they once had.

The battery still kept a decent charge + wouldn't it still turn on with the charger plugged in?
