Hello all im new and hoping i can get some help. My 2013 13” macbook air will not power up or charge. The light on the charger wont even turn on when i connect it. I have tried disconnecting the battery and pluging it in but nothing also i replaced the battery and it finally turned on for 5 minutes then the screen went black and now im back to square one. Does anyone know what it could be please help!
 
Unplug the MBA, hold down the power button and plug in the cord while holding the power button. Continue holding it for 30 seconds. Release, unplug wait 10 seconds then plug back in.
 
Thank you for all your replies i have found the issue but i am not sure where i can find the part or if i need to replace the whole logic board im not sure what its called either.

I would suggest finding a reputable local Macbook repair shop. If that pic is true, it looks like you've had some form of liquid damage in that area. So, unless you are a micro soldering expert and know Mac boards, I'd take it somewhere..
