    MBA 2015 turns on only with SMC reset after being shut down...

    This last week, my Macbook Air Early 2015 didn't respond to the power button for the first time. It took a 15 minute battle with the power button. After that, whenever I shut down my notebook, I had the same problem. The power button didn't answer and the screen was wholly black, so I learned...
