Hello,

MacBook Air 2017 MagSafe light maintains save state and changes Green to Orange on connection to AC outlet.

Power is making it to the SMC, as the MagSafe connector changes display state from Orange to Green and Green to Orange.

However, power button does not lead to any boot.

PCB shows no signs of water damage, so I have to rule that out.

Case free of any and all damage, so dropping not a probable cause.

User always had it in a ventilated area. I am worried it is LB failure, but I currently don't have my tools to check voltage, etc.

Any other ideas for troubleshooting?
