Re: MacBook Air 820-00165 shutting down when trying to boot
I did this trick on an 820-00165 that I've been trying to repair for some time. On mine the computer would start up and runs for a couple of minutes, then shuts down. When I heated the capacitor it kept running, which applied more heat and the computer would continue to run until I shut it down. I've replaced C1060 and started the computer 5 or 6 times from cold and it hasn't failed yet. I need to run it for about a week to be sure.
You can expand the area and heat small areas and then test to see if at some point it makes a change the start up. I found a rare problem with the 2011 Mac Mini by doing this. I suspect that you may also have a capacitor issue and this could help you find it. It looks like you have tried everything else.
