MacBook Pro doesn't turn on after keyboard replacement

I recently replaced the keyboard on Macbook pro 13” (early 2013). After the replacement I tried to turn it on and on screen picture said the battery is discharged and that I need to charge it. When I plugged in the T shaped Magsafe adapter the light on it turned on green and Macbook still didn’t turn on or charge. After cleaning the charge port around pins and plugging it in again the light turned amber but there was still the same picture of battery being discharged. I also performed SMC reset when I got the charger working. I decided to leave it be and let it charge, so I didn’t turn it on. When I came back to the computer I saw that light on charger is turned off and when I tried to turn the macbook on nothing happened. And now I’m here writing this in hope someone knows the solution to my problem.

Liquid damage is deceitful to deal with as where liquids touched components or rails oxidation started and it’s hard to stop, unless one manages to clean and restore parts and circuits at microscopic level with fresh clean metal. It’s not surprising that what worked up to a certain stage it stops abruptly, especially after the board is handled and flexed for removal and repairs. It’s very likely your board is now in need of a deeper charging circuit troubleshooting and a component level repair.
