Today morning I when I tried to turn on my MacBook Air 2017 it just broke up on me. Now, it isn’t turning on, but it is charging. I only used my MacBook to do some coding and video watching only . The person at the authorized service center told me that my mlb or main logic board had failed. There is no any kind of water damage as well.
Mare there any possible reasons for this failure?( life of my mac was just 2 years)
MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

Based on what I had read from the net it looks like a logic board failure, and my Mac is only 2 years old.

Two completely different symptoms. @lyn134, that looks like a defective Display which will need to be replaced.

My laptop is now fine for over 2 months so far. I was adviced to change the LCD monitor. But I can't afford one. When I brought it to the technician he cleaned it, I think the fan too because we noticed that it was heating faster than it should be. But it didn't work still.
Then after a month a technician look at it again, but he never opened the laptop's case. He just said that I should turn on the laptop once or twice a week and charge it.
I did and after 5th open I guess, the display came back again, like nothing had happened.
I've seen this with some of the 2013-15 models which are very similar. I've been told one of the surface mount capacitors on the Logic Board fails and causes this issue which requires the replacement of the Logic Board since very few repair shops can actually replace such components on a Logic Board. Apple's only official course of action is a Logic Board replacement.
I too have a faulty MBA 2017 and the logic board failed today. Doesn't show any sign of power and had taken it to the Premium Authorized Service Center just to told that they would need to replace the faulty logic board which costs 80% off the new MBA 2018. Doesn't make any sense as to why the logic board failed in the first place?
then, sometimes just after 2 months it displays like this.
Technician said, I had to buy a new LCD. I still am undecided because a new LCD is worth a brand new laptop already.
I have been facing a similar issue. In case this a recurring issue with various models how can we bring it to notice with Apple and ask them for a solution in case this is a bug of some sort.
Have you had any resolution to your issue ? What have you done in this case ?
