Hey,

I'm seriously lost on what to do next. I thought I fixed my Macbook AIR 2017, but seems it didn't. It won't boot up unless I spam hit the power button for 5-10 minutes and even then the result is NIL sometimes.

I tried replacing the fan and battery, but still, the issue occurs. What could it be at this point?

What I have tried so far:
Replace FAN & BATTERY. - Nothing
Connect Mac to an external monitor. - Nothing

Any help would be very much appreciated!

could there be some dust between the power button and the motherboard?
Hey, How could I check for the dust because the inside of my MacBook looks pretty clean, but to check for the dust between the power button and motherboard I assume I have to completely remove the board to see under it?

Bump, i'm still facing issues. I've tried raplcing the fan and the SSD, but that did not fix the issue.

This is just a wild guess on my part, but maybe it's the contact between the power button and the motherboard not making contact? I don't think it'll be under the board , right?
