Power button works, but won't turn on
My MBA stopped turning on.
Doing an SMC reset I can see that the power button works (the led on the magsafe flashes green), and it is charging because after a while the green light stays on solid.
But no response when I try turning it on.
I'm wondering if this could be an issue with the lid (hall effect?) sensor or if it's likely to be something more serious?
Any advice greatly appreciated
Is this a good question?

What model you have and has anything happened prior to this? Like liquid spillage or a drop? Or did this just occur randomly one day

You cant hear any fans or anything like that? No boot up chyme nothing? If you can hear anything then the computer powers on but is not getting video which could be an issue with the Display. I would check to make sure nothing is running first perhaps try pressing and holding P, R, Command and Option hole that while the computer turns on and let it chyme twice that is if you can hear anything. That might give you a display image. Let us know if your hearing a fan or anything kick up suggesting power but no screen.

No previous liquid spillage or drop; it was working one day and not the next.
There are no fans or chimes when pressing the power button; just complete silence.
