My wife's Macbook Air 2020 laptop was not charging previously. My wife tried out different charging cords and still would not charge. She then rebooted the laptop (it still had some charge in battery) and it never came back to life. I replaced the battery and still no power. I also tried all the resets using the appropriate keys and still no luck.

Other history with this laptop:

1. It would take awhile to start up and sometimes it would boot up and then have a bunch of lines on the screen. She would restart the computer when that happened and it would operate normally.
2. Battery would get very hot and fan would constantly run.
3. I looked at the logic board and do not see any areas that could be a concern (no black marks etc).


Any ideas on what steps to take on determining what the issue is?

Thank you,

Brad
