MacBook air fan restarting after every 15 seconds. No screen seen.

My Macbook air behaving in strange manners

  1. When started after taking gap of some days, boot sound can be heard but loading is way too slow. Bar below Apple icon takes forever. Sometimes screen is also seen and I can even log in and and operate normally. But then it freezes and needs force shutdown. For that whole day it wont start again.
  2. When battery is very low (1-5%) it will boot. But as soon as battery percentage goes above, it freezes and needs force shut down
  3. After it is force shut down, it won't start normally for several days. And when started fan will come to life and will again go off in around 15 seconds

Has anyone been through this? Please give your troubleshooting tips.

See if you can download this great app CoconutBattery and take a snapshot of the main window and paste it here for us to see Adding images to an existing question

I’m suspecting your battery needs replacing.

Once you have taken the snapshot open the system up following this guide MacBook Air 13" Early 2015 Battery Replacement stop after completing Step3. Then press and hold your power button for a good 2 minutes so the system is fully drained of power. Then plug-in your MagSafe charger your system should spontaneously start up. As long as you don’t bump the cord the system should run without issue. Reboot your system and this time press the ‘‘‘D’’’ key to enter into diagnostics other than the battery you should see any errors. If you do take note of the error ID.
