Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
MacBook Pro A1466
The unit does not turn on. I have done all the usual suggestions, the battery is charged, the connection is green. If I disconnect the battery then reconnect and try, it's fine, even if it sleeps. But if I turn it off it will not turn on again. Any ideas welcome

Your best bet would be to take it somewhere where they have lots of spare power adapters laying around, and have technicians who put their hands on these Macs, all day ever day.
if you have an Apple-owned store available, you appointment for an evaluation is FREE, in warranty or out!
For Apple Authorized Service Providers, they may charge an "evaluation fee", so that you do not consume their expensive technician time with frivolous problems.
That computer is a battery-CAPABLE device. It is not optimized as a battery-operated device. (It is NOT an iPhone.)
In general, you should ALWAYS connect AC power when it is possible to do so, and only run on batteries (which could be somewhat slower) when no AC sources are at hand. Your Mac will NEVER over-charge.
Will the computer power on WITH the Power adapter connected?
A1466 looks up to MacBook Air, 13-in display, 2012 through 2017.
Is that number correct?
Sorry, it is indeed an Air, not Pro
No, it does not turn on under any circumstances
Apparently I have posted the same info twice, which is verboten (?!). I have reposted under MacBook Air
Hi Grant, any ideas?
My MacBook Pro will not turn on sometimes
