MacBook Air A1932 won’t turn on I’m trying to fix a MacBook Air for my friend, but it doesn’t seem to power on at all. Here’s what I’ve tried: Tried a different chargerDisconnected battery and plugged charger in (not sure if it’s even supposed to turn on this way?)Reseated the battery Fan doesn’t seem to turn on, no noises can be heard when plugging in the charger. No lights or any sign that the MacBook is even turning on. Could it really be a dead battery? Fried logic board? It’s a pretty new model and definitely no sign of corrosion/water damage when I took a look at it. The only thing I found odd is the charging cable

Yes! The cable is damaged. You’ll need to get a new one make sure you get the proper one as there are different cables now for USB-C! Some don’t offer the proper wire gage for the power lines, some are not even wired for power at all. Best to get a real Apple cable. But I’m not sure that’s all you’ll need here. I’m not sure if your USB-C port and the charger logic within your system also got damaged. At this point I would use a USB-C power meter to measure the voltage and current draw. Update (02/12/2020) @juli09 - The port board will need to be checked for burnt marks or other damage. If it is then you’ll need to replace it. It is not all I was thinking! The power logic on the logic board as seen here, the two marked in Blue
