I called another shop looking for alternatives, and it seems that the logic board is no longer available, and that either I 'downgrade' to a 1.3GHz board, or go with the 1.7GHz replacement. Apparently the issue is a bad logic board. I took it to a local authorized repair shop, to essentially tell me it is cheaper to buy a new one than to repair the old one. I did some research online, but none of the troubleshooting steps did anything. On Sunday night she was using it, closed the lid before going to bed, and next day the MBA doesn't turn on. I purchased last May of 2014 a 13in MacBook Air 1.4GHz i5 8Gb RAM through my company's Employee Purchase Program for my daughter's graduation. Should I just sell it for replacement parts? I must admit I am quite disappointed in Apple 😟 The laptop is over a year old, so the guarantee is over by a month or two. So here I am now, and because I can only dream about paying that sort of money right now (or in the near future), helpless and hoping for some kind of help from you guys. I mean, how is this even possible that a mother board just randombly dies? Especially on a great reputation company device. And yesterday I got a text from them that the logic board is dead, and the replacement would cost 480€ (570$). So I took the Air to a authorised Apple reseller (Valge Klaar) in Estonia for diagnostics. I even tried a different charger, but nothing. I googled it, and tried many things, like SMC reset and warming the charger. When I woke up the next morning, the Macbook had ran out of power, and when I tried to charge it, it didn't do anything. I was studying late, and when I went to bed, the battery was almost empty (~5%). Going almost a year without issues, last week happened this. It was big money for me, but I was hoping that atleast it would be a reliable tool for many years (basing on the Apple reliability reputation). So here's my story: I bought a few months used Macbook Air Mid-2013 11' (A1465) last spring.
