Power being received, no boot
I picked up this old macbook to try and repair. The power button does not work, but I am able to start the motherboard by shorting the pin on the keyboard connector. The fan spins up, and the charger LED is green. The battery is removed. beyond the fan I have no signs of life, no logo or keyboard lightup, and completely black screen with no lights. Looking for any suggestions to get this going, thanks.
Is this a good question?

See if after you boot up the system if the backlight is all thats not working by aiming a flashlight through the Apple Logo in the lid can you see the faint image of your desktop?
At this point we don't know if you only need a new keyboard or something more.
