My Macbook Air A1369 wont power on. My battery died already, so whenever I want to use it, I need the AC power connected. Then this morning when I tried using it, the magsafe indicator light wont turn on. tried using another 45W magsafe adaptor and still wont work. I used both magsafe adaptors on another Macbook Air and they both work. Does anyone know why my Macbook wont turn on?
Is this a good question?

I would replaced the DC-In board first. There are five different units in the A1369 line, to get you to the correct part and installation guide we need the last three figures of your serial number: http://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/...

Here's how to replace the I/O board with DC-IN port, and a video on doing it: MacBook Air 13" Late 2010 I/O Board Replacement
It's Apple part #661-5792. iFixit does carry this part: MacBook Air 13" (Late 2010) I/O Board
sir is there a way to test if it is just my I/O Board thats busted?
coz i wouldnt want to replace my I/O Board only to find out that there is more to replace.
Im better off buying a new mac air.

you can do first is SMC reset by pressing and holding 4 buttons on the keyboard to reset all the system hardware . press and hold ( Left Shift+option+command+ power button ) for approx 5 seconds then put the charger inside then check its charging or not . if still not light in the charger remove the charger . hold the power button and put the charger in after pressing and holding power button after 10 sec release the power up button and press it again . your system will boot up may be . if boot up donot remove the charger . use it for a while and check its charging or not . if not then restart it from the mac osx . if still not power up then your have to open it up for checking whats wrong inside .

I had same issue with my macbook air. No boot and no charging. SMC reset didn't work. Unpluging charger and heating with dryer didn't work either. The solution was to open it up, unplug the battery from main board, wait half an hour and I could boot macbook. I noticed that battery was already 40% charged when it started up again, so macbook not being able to start was not due to low battery. It was due to some kind of crash or soft malfunction which entirely prevented macbook from booting until battery was unplugged from motherboard.

Charge your laptop full, charger light should go green, then try to power on the laptop, it will work.
