Unit won’t power on, battery indicator flashing 5 times < to >.
I had recently put a question regarding a MacBook that I have which was crippled with keyboard issues. The main problem being the power button does nothing when pressed and the charger changes from green back to orange when the Mac is plugged in and the power button is pressed.
Earlier this week, I had successfully been able to use it, although it had a tendency of not turning on after I’d used it for an amount of time. The MacBook would sometimes turn on when the power button was pressed, and sometimes it wouldn’t. After a couple of days, it was unresponsive..
I had accepted an answer on my previous question about this same unit. The answer verified the problem I was having, which was keyboard related. I purchased a top case plus keyboard off of eBay and installed it earlier today (05/31). After doing the keyboard transplant, I was confident that the laptop would turn on after I pressed the power button, but it didn’t…

Now, the battery is not being recognized by the unit and I can’t get it to power on at all. The charger light stays green and the battery indicator led’s flash from left to right 5 times. Since the MacBook isn’t charging anymore, I’m faced with another issue, and I thought I wouldn’t have anymore.

I don’t have an idea of what to do next to get this stubborn computer to power on so I could use it again…
I will value any input given to me, thanks.
(The laptop was liquid damaged when I purchased it as there was some corrosion on the top case + keyboard, but the machine was intermittently bootable. The battery would be detected, but it isn’t anymore after a new keyboard transplant.)
Is dit een goede vraag?
