I have a 128GB 2017 model that died and wouldn't boot up for weeks on end twice. I took it into Apple both times, the first time they reset the battery and it wouldn't start up again within three days, the second time they quoted me $1370 to replace the logic board so I told them no and stashed it in a drawer for a month. I had tried all the usual tricks, leaving it plugged in to charge completely, etc etc but to no avail. On a whim I took it out and plugged it in (after leaving it for a month) and it booted up (much to my surprise!)
So the question I have is, is this normal behavior for this model of MBA? After browsing through forums it seems like there are issues running through the MBA line. Or could this be a problem caused by the battery drain or the logic board, and does anyone have any solutions?
(note: I'd rather avoid going back to Apple since they're notoriously incompetent in my country and I'd rather not have to drop $1370 on a new logic board that might not even be the issue)
