2nd Top Case Install, Damaged DC-in Plug on Logic Board. FIXED!
Third attempt to get my water damaged MBP 13 Mid 2010 going.
1. I cleaned logic board after water damage as suggested from my first post. MBP started but trackpad erratic, some keys didn't work and power button did not work.
2. Installed first replacement upper case as suggested in my second post. MBP worked fine except for power button and need to jump start.
3. Installed second upper case today and can't get it to start. I checked the battery level before I did the install, and I had used the MBP earlier today. I saved all my data, closed all my applications, and shut down. I disassembled from 1st upper case and reassembled into replacement upper case. I closed it up and tried to power up. No luck, so I tried to jump start it and nothing happened. I then checked battery power and nothing. I connected mag safe charger and no light and unable to jump start.
I looked through the forums and rechecked all my connections twice. I checked my dc-in board's wires to make sure they weren't damaged / broken- twice. Tried to do the SMC reset several times. I'm not getting anything. Could I have shorted the battery or mag safe? As it turns out, I bent the pins when I was checking DC-in board. The two pictures show the connector, located on upper left corner, above speaker. Other photo is from top view, looking into connector.
Here are the pictures of my fix. I trimmed a bit of the casing with a razor blade because I couldn't get to the pins with forceps or a paper clip. I used a sewing machine needle(?) that was lying around to move the pins enough to use a spudger, paper clip, and the tweezers from the ifixit tool set to straighten pins. This also helped insert the DC-in board connector more easily. The fix worked. MBP is now charging. Thanks to all for your help.

Update: Triple checked again today because I scheduled an Apple Genius appointment for tomorrow Friday. The fan was disconnected. I reconnected and jump started. Signs of life! Battery symbol has an X, mag safe not lighting up, battery indicator not showing anything, Coconut Battery does not show that I have a battery. Fan has been running continuously since I turned MBP on. But the computer is on and I am posting this with it, so maybe there is hope....

Update # 2: Reset SMC, fan works normal now, battery icon correct and shows up on Coconut Battery. Mag Safe light not lighting up, battery indicator working. Power Button works. Feeling hopeful.
Thanks for the support.

Update # 3: Got my computer back from Apple Store and diagnosis of bent pins in DC-in / Mag Safe charger. Pins are bent on the part attached to logic board and would cost $750 to repair. I elected not to repair MBP. I am currently using my MBP after having powered it up. It is working, however, the battery indicator shows that it is "Not Charging". The battery charge has been holding steady at 91% for the last hour with the Mag Safe charger plugged in. I notice that the display dims when I remove the Mag Safe charger. Any thoughts?
