I have a MacBook Air A1466 2013 model. When I put the charger in the green light shows. The fan also starts to spin once I press the power button but I get no display and no power up. Can anyone help me please
If the fan is spinning and there is no image or chime it’s not a good sign. If you haven’t got another shell to test the screen I would try the following. · Check for liquid damage on both sides. · Do a PRAM/NVRAM reset. · Insert a bootable USB drive with a light and see if it gets activity by the light flashing if it doesn’t it would point to CPU. · Disconnect the battery and connect magsafe. · Disconnect all flex cables on the board except the 6 pin power cable and connect magsafe. I have found with this model it’s usually a dirty Bios file or faulty CPU if the above don’t help. Most likely CPU but you would need a reputable repair shop to confirm.
I have the exact same problem and the same mid-2013 Macbook Air 1466 EMC 2632, MagSafe plugged in first green for a few second and then orange when it is charging as normal. The fan spins but no life anywhere else screen is black, when I reset the NVRAM the MagSafe led switches to green for a couple of seconds and then goes back to orange, Caps lock does nothing as someone said to see if it light up when pressed. I have removed the PCIe SSD and ordered an adaptor to hopefully fit an M.2 card does anyone know will any M.2 card work with these adaptors? I wish someone would find an easy fix for this MacBook. It has sat for over a year now and just decided to try and get it sorted, they were not cheap and it is something I just don’t want to toss in the bin.
