My MacBook Air’s left USB somehow got bent. I tried to fix it myself

The left USB port in my MacBook Air got bent and no USB drive would go in. I tried to fix it myself by opening up the Mac using help from this forum posts. Ended up with not only the problem unresolved ( the aluminium part is too twisted to correct) but now audio device is not detected, fan has started whirring at high speed and the MagSafe adapter doesn’t light up ( charges normally though). Help!

Thanks for the tip but it didn’t work. Now Mac doesn’t charge too. Battery is stuck at 2-3%. Wondering if I should replace the I/O board.

Try reseating the I/O board cable and the other relevant cables as shown in this guide:

Might be a silly question but have you made sure the I/O cable is not plugged upside down where it would cover the fan?
