Hi! My Macbook Air 13” does not boot at all. The screen stays black and there is no sign of life at all. When I plug in the charger, it’s saying that it is charging (led goes orange) but the Macbook still won’t boot. Does anyone know what’s going on? I think it’s motherboard related, but before I order a new one, I want to be sure. Thanks in advance!
