How to check whether it's damaged motherboard or I/O board
Hello,
recently my Macbook Air stopped working. I worked on it as usual when it unexpectedly shut down and I was unable to power it on again. It didn’t react to power button and LED indicator on power adapter didn’t turned on (I even tried another power adapter as I have second Macbook at home).
I brought the laptop to Apple Premium Service Provider and after 2 days they returned it saying that Apple Service Toolkit didn’t show any errors and after it somehow turned on they did only reset SMC.
Everything was fine for about 2 weeks and then it once again shut down. I went to ASP once again and they say that since they can’t diagnose my problem, the only solution they see is to replace whole motherboard (which of course cost more than the laptop is worth now).
Is it really problem with whole motherboard? Maybe it’s only the problem with I/O board? Is there a way I can check what is really damaged?
I have tools and have replaced battery once on different Macbook so I should be able to check some simple stuff on the inside.
Thanks in adavance!
