Hi, I've seen this with other Apple laptop models. It has something to do with the SMC (System Management Controller) which normally you can reset without going to the Apple Store.
1. Make sure the unit is powered down. 2. Plug in your power adapter to the wall and the computer. 3. Hold down the left side shift-control-option keys and the power button at the same time. 4. Release all keys at the same time. 5. Wait a few seconds then press your power button. If it restarts now, you should be up and running. If it does not, then to the Apple Store you should go. It is sometimes remedied by simply removing the MBAs built-in battery for 15 to 20 minutes then replacing it. This should only be done by a qualified Apple Technician. If that doesn't do it, then it's most likely something to do with the power supply or logic board. In either case, it's a job for the qualified Apple Technician. Good luck. Later...
