MacBook won't turn on - transiently worked after replacing I/O cable

Bit of background - my wife’s Macbook A1534 had a broken screen and chassis due to physical damage. I bought a comparable model with a dead logic board on eBay, and I transplanted her logic board into the new one. Everything worked fine for a few weeks, until she was recently unable to turn it on after letting the battery die. There is no power, nothing. I tried resetting SMC and PRAM to no avail.

So I decided to pop it open again and replaced the I/O board flex cable and tried plugging it in before I reconnected the keyboard and reassembled everything. Surprisingly, it turned on again! But the keyboard wasn’t plugged in, so I couldn’t turn it back off… so I let the battery die again, and reconnected the keyboard and reassembled everything. This time, I couldn’t get it to turn on. I spent a bunch of time troubleshooting… tried removing and re-inserting the I/O board cable, replaced the I/O board itself (i.e. the USB-C/charging port), punching in every combination of “reset” keys I could find online, disconnecting/reconnecting the battery, etc. Nothing works.

I initially thought the logic board was bad, but I don’t know how I got it to briefly work. Any thoughts?

This Macbook is a beautiful machine but it’s quite troublesome when it comes to repairs. There’s a small button on the logic board that has to be pressed until the led goes off, before anything else, to discharge residual power from the board..did you do that ? After reassembly the 2015 model cannot be simply plugged in with its Usb-C adapter, but first it needs to be charged for a while with a lower voltage adapter, such as an iPhone or iPad charger, otherwise the logic board might take some damage. Was that done ? If answer is no to either question, that might explain the problem you’re facing right now.

Thanks! I tried pressing the small button, but there was no LED. I went back and did it again, except that I held it down for 3 cycles of 10 seconds (based on what I was reading elsewhere).

I did plug it in with the 29W power adapter, but it worked fine the first time for some reason.

Any suggestions?

Hardware failures cannot be undone unfortunately, you'll need to find a new board or find someone who can fix yours.
