Letting it charge over Night still amber. Disconnecting battery and pluging in charger does NOT change the amber light to green and still no action.

With the battery disconnected are you able to start the system with just plugging in the MagSafe charger? The system should spontaneously boot.

If it does you'll need a new battery MacBook Air 13" Early 2015 Battery Replacement

At this point I suspect your logic board has a problem. You’ll need to find someone local to fix it or you could just replace it MacBook Air 13" Early 2015 Logic Board Replacement has the logic board info inside.

Hey Dan, Thank you for your quick answer.

No, when I disconnect the battery and plug in the MacSafe charger, nothing happens and the charger light is still amber instead of green.

@danj I had the same problem and your answer allowed me to troubleshoot my problem. Luckily it's just the battery. Sorry Michael that you had a logic board problem. Thank you, Dan!
