[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1615652, member: 56379"] The reason why I asked the battery question was I was suspecting that there may be an issue with the battery. Starting with...maybe the MacBook Air's battery is shot/basically dead. And in some laptop computers...if the internal battery is a goner...then the computer does not operate properly (turn on). As far as the 100% number. 100% is not really a very reliable figure of "quality". When a laptop battery is brand new...100% can equal 7 hours of battery runtime. When a laptop battery is "well-used"...100% charge can mean 5 minutes or less of runtime. Thus my first thought is (with the info provided so far) this MacBook Air's battery needs replacing.:) Just checked...and an A1465 MacBook Air is from 2012...so we would think that it wouldn't need a new battery already...unless this MacBook Air was used lots & lots on battery power throughout its life so far. - Nick [/QUOTE]
