2011 17" MacBook Pro - No power working

I have a late 2011 17” MacBook Pro

No working power on or off with power button, when I try to fix the battery connector pins so I push power button it will not turn on or off only turn on when charger is plugged in and battery plugged in.

On the side is a battery checker when you press the button how many Green LED’s are lit and are they steady or blinking?

Update (12/04/2021)

The power-on pad for early & late 2011 17" MacBook Pro

Block Image

Place the system on its side open enough so you can see the screen when you quickly short the pads. Did the fan spin and did the screen light up?

I doubt to the battery connector pins , because I tried to fix the first pins on the left of the battery connector , which it did

Well this proves the Battery is charged and the charging logic is working which tends to be one of the first things that's goes.

At this time we need to see if the system will startup using the power pads. Review the update above.

@aliariai - So the system started up using the power pads ?? Your phrasing does not make it clear - Yes or No will do.

If it does startup then you'll need to replace the keyboard as the power button is part of it or replace the uppercase assembly

Then you don’t have this model. Plug in your systems S/N into here and tell us what it reports back EveryMac - Lookup
