Screen Flickering - Going dark at the edges - Then No Power

Macbook Air 13" A1355 2015 Model Arrived......Turned it on.... after a few seconds the screen began intermittent flickering and then shadowing in one corner at a time.... Shut it down, disconnected the battery and reset SMC that way, disconnected then reconnected the LCD connector, reset PRAM, then restarted to the same issue.... shutdown... power up and it is totally dead, no fan spin, zero. Internals look very clean, no signs of previous repair (Is from a friend who said all was working fine beforehand). Just my luck again! What on earth could have happened? @danj and @oldturkey03 to confirm that everything is totaled shot.

What happens when you plug in an external display?

Do you have a spare battery for this system? See if that helps.

@danj It has a good battery and I did try another, there is no difference.

It don't boot up, dead, no fan spin, zero.... I did not try booting with an external display as it don't boot up..... I tried without battery and hot pads..... logic board again.... It is so odd, I always ground myself, use rubber gloves, didn't touch any board parts only th battery and screen connector to see if they had come lose.... anyway I have returned the unit to the previous owner.
