Hi all, I have a 13inch Mac book air which the screen is broken. I wish to turn this Mac book air to a pc media. I have 2 question to ask..

  1. is it possible to solder a power button into the board?
  2. is it possible to solder more USB port into the magsafe 2. Thanks for the help

You can solder a basic button & 2 wires to the power-on pads on the motherboard. http://www.insidemylaptop.com/turn-on-ma…

Soldering a power button to the board is easy… But why?? Is it not turning on if you hit the power button but starts if you hit the power pads? If so your trackpad / flex is probably messed up. More USB ports? No practical and probably not possible.
