MacBook Air won't turn on. Charger stays orange.

Battery death my be the case. But a Macbook Air 2015 won’t boot without a battery? Because I did disconnect the battery and tried turning it on, but it won’t.

The condition of the board and internals are so new-looking, that I am still refusing to declare this machine dead.

Perhaps this model of MBA won’t turn on without a battery connected? I read somewhere that some of the models indeed won’t turn on without battery connected to them.

@wdadjkalsdjlk Your Mac would work normally without a battery, hence my advice to disconnect it. Fact that it doesn't start even without it, points to other hardware faults.

@arbaman Thank you. Any other suggestions of action? Something else that I can do on my own?

@wdadjkalsdjlk I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable in suggesting you to buy random parts to see how it goes or buying a multimeter and get into schematic diagrams to start probing power and data lines. However, these are the only two possible troubleshooting paths I'm aware of.

you are very much correct. not to mention it's way above my paygrade. I am just very frustrated because I needed this laptop for school and I am so broke right now. I guess I will have to let it go.

With Mac unused and unplugged for a full month, what might have happened is that battery reached its heaven and went bad and unable to take charge any longer. First step would be to try and disconnect the battery and see if that gives any change and Mac would be able to start on its own when plugging in the magsafe. If it starts without the battery then a battery replacement may probably solve all issues, otherwise we get into machine hardware failure that would need more or less blindfolded parts replacements to progress any further with troubleshooting.

When you disconnect the battery and magsafe adapter, press and hold the power on button for ten seconds. Then reconnect the battery and mag-safe. This should give you a spontaneous reboot.
