Oct 2, 2014 8:09 AM in response to Loner Tby Promaetheus,Thanks for your reply. The problem is NOT the restoration of the firmware. They did it. The mainboard was changed, then the older EFI-version was implemented, the MB ran again. Then, connecting to the internet the App-Store told me to update the EFI. I called the apple support, the lady there told me to update the EFI, cause the problem was not the EFI update, it was the problem of the mainbord and the hardware can not go defect by updating software, so the words from the apple support lady.
I did the update and the MacBook Air was dead again. First working fine, but going into the sleep mode I could not reawake it. Same problem as before. Official apple support partner told me he has tu change the mainboard again and I should pay Euro 600,- again. But for Euro 1.200,- i get a brand-new MB Air.
I will see what apple recommends or does.

Oct 4, 2014 12:13 PM in response to memnongrby servnhim,I also installed the latest EFI update. Now the facetime camera on Mid-2011 Macbook Air 11" will not work at all. Prior to this update, I had just finished a FaceTime meeting. All I get is that the camera is not found.
I have tried resetting the SMC, installing the OS from new, etc. Nothing has worked. I called Apple and they wanted me to send it in for repairs.

How did you get that result?
This is an old thread. You may want to start a new one and describe your specific problem.
