[QUOTE="Audit13, post: 1791827, member: 394746"] Just wanted to give an update. I was able to buy a used top case with the speakers, keyboard, and trackpad. The top case was in okay shape but the seller assured me that the keyboard and trackpad were fully functional. I cleaned the board again with isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush. Moved all the parts from the "as-is" Macbook I mentioned in my original post and it booted. Since they keyboard was detected by the board, I was able to perform a PRAM and SMC reset. I ran the Apple diagnostics by holding down the "D" key and there were no problems. I now have a working early 2015 13" MBA with 8GB of ram and a 128 GB SSD. [/QUOTE]
