Recently, I've found that my power button on my 13-inch, Mid 2011 Macbook Air, is completely non-functional. Everything else operates as expected. I can even restart my computer from the apple menu (can't shut down because then it doesn't turn back on).
The reason I'm not posting this in the hardware section, is that when I took it to the apple store, they popped my battery to do a hard SMC reset, and then my power button worked just fine. However, after I shut down again, the power button stopped working.
Does anyone have any theories on what's going on?
Note: I was using an open source binary that restored pre-maverick power button behavior, however the problem persists even after deleting that program and restarting. https://github.com/binchewer/power_fixer
