First be sure to use a known working Apple Magsafe charger not a chinese fake. Also as stipulate by arbaman the I/O board could be bad. You can power up the computer with battery disconnected and check the battery socket pins with a multimeter. I think you should get DC 12 volts on the power pins and 3.4 volts on the data pins. If you get good readings the battery is probably dead.

Buying a used machine with bad logic board to swap the screen could be a solution if you can find one at a good price. Good luck :-)

You could try to spray compressed air under the keys but if the dirt is the result of liquid spill you’ll have to remove the keys and clean under with Qtips and isopropyl alcool. If it doesn’t work you can also replace the keyboard with a brand new one but it’s a good job and many screws to remove and reinstall. Be aware that the 15” Early 2011 has a problematic logic board (820-2915). The graphic chip fails after a few years and there’s no way to repair it. Think of it before investing too much in this machine.

Hi Dan, once the computer firmware is APFS upgraded with Mojave is it possible to boot this computer with a HFS+ OS or we're stuck with the APFS settings ?

If there’s no light on the magsafe connector it can be caused by a faulty dc in board but it could also be caused by a bad communication to the SMC. First check if the magsafe tip and the magsafe connector are in good shape, no burned pins, or small metallic debris stuck in the port. I would also swap the dc in board with a known working one. For more trouble shooting you’ll need a tech to check it out. MacBook Air 13インチ Early 2015 I/Oボードの交換

Swap the Spanish keyboard with UK one then replace the UK keys with the spanish ones and you'll get a Spanish keyboard.

If you could find a used Hakko FR-801 at a fair price that would be perfect. The only problem, this station is expensive even used. I use Pace (MBT 201 with 2 channels, SP-1A iron solder and SX-65 Xtractor + a Pace PPS-25A station coupled with the SensaTemp II Thermo Tweez. Also have a Hakko FP-102 station with the fantastic FM-2027 iron and a Hakko hot air station 851-2 that I recommend for small SMD work. The station uses a small hot air pencil that should be perfect fo iPhone mother boards repairs. Got it for $134 USD shipped from ebay USA (still sell for $650 by resellers in the US). I live in Canada so it's not too far away and shipping costs acceptables but our 0.75 dollar CDN sucks when dealing in US money LOL....

no it's not the fan cable. You can see part of the fan cable at the upper right of the pict. I think that your broken cable is for the isight camera or bluethoot or wifi not sure...try these functions.

Try to swap the ribbon cable from your old trackpad to the the new one. If you have the same problem then the new trackpad is faulty. Ask for a replacement.

to remove and put back the ribbon cable in its slot I use a piece of scotch tape. Easier to remove or insert the cable in the slot.

Since this kind of connector and very fragile and easy to damage even with a spudger I use a needle that I insert in the front side of the connector, between the connector and the socket and only apply a little pressure while lifting up the needle. The connector will then pop up from one side. Repeat the procedure for the other side. With this method it's impossible to damage the connector. I adopted this method after ruining two or three connectors using the spudger.
