2021 Mac book Air doesn't power up

2021 Mac book Air doesn't power up. We tried taking it to an authorized service store. They seem to suggest that motherboard needs to be replaced. The cost of that seems to be 50% of the device cost. Unfortunately, this mac book air is just out of warranty. Any other tips and tricks to understand what the root cause seems to be?

2018 Mac Book Air Retina Logic Board Issue I have a 2018 Mac Book Air Retina that sometimes turns on but won't stay turned on. Apparently there is a known issue with these logic boards but Apple wants $500 to repair them. Has anyone else had this issue?

MacBook power on issue MacBook 2017 doesn’t power on (could take up to 30 min). there is a problem with the flash storage which requires replacing the logic board. Since the repair cost is expensive, do you recommend fixing it? Will I be able to use it for few years? Or shall I give up and get a brand new MacBook Air M2? Your advise is highly appreciated thank you

Mac Book Air 2020 I saw that it was like 180 “ me too” to this on another discussion but just wondering if anyone else has a logic board issue for the 2020 Mac book Air this company is failing us these problems aren’t lasting at all. I’m shocked and as a consumer I feel taken advantage of! I have another brand laptop never had a issue beside it’s slower but is 10 years old this “Apple Experience” is horrible and they need some type of quality control on the components they were using because apparently there are a LOT of faulty parts inside. Not only this issue but my keyboard went out several times too at NO fault of my own. So disappointing

If Apple has determined the logic board is bad and needs replacing, you can either do that or buy another computer.

My 2016 MBP logic board replacement cost $592US almost three years ago, so your estimate is not out of line.
