The March 2015 update of Apple's 13" MacBook Air features fifth generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, resulting in slightly increased performance and battery life.

MacBook air not turning on but charging

My Macbook Air is 3 years old and it stopped working overnight. I could see the battery is charging, but nothing shows up. Its not turning on. I went to apple service centre for repair, they are not able to find the issue and identified small corrossions on logic board and they are suspecting that might be the issue. I havent spilled any liquid on the machine, they said it might have happened due to moisture. They quoted a very high price for replacement, so I took my mac back. I have attached their diagnostics report. They showed me corrossion picture of logicboard, but didnt share it with me. I would like to know whether this could be a hardware issue or software issue. Can a corrupted software can cause the macbook not to turn on or should the issue be isolated to hardware. If it is a software issue, how can I check it as the macbook is not turning on.

Even though the OS is corrupted the mac will at least boot with some instructions. It is a hardware failure. Just unplug the charger and remove all the static from the board pressing the power button for 2 minutes without the power cord. Then give it a shot.

if you are a technical expert, open up the MacBook and remove the battery with plastic spudger remember with plastic and press the power for 2 minutes without the cord.

Thanks for answering. First solution didnt work. I will try second solution, but after removing battery connection and without power cord, where does it get power to turn on? Please correct me if I have misunderstood second solution

We are trying to remove the static. That don’t require power. Just pressing the power will do.

I tried the first option and it did not work. I also don’t have a spudger to use. Is there any other way?
