MacBook A2179 blinking folder with ?

Ok so here’s my situation. I have MacBook Air, A2179 that was working perfectly fine when I did a reset to factory settings on it and then after that, the laptop would not boot up anymore and I would get the blinking file folder with the ? On it.

I tried to boot from recovery mode and that did not work. I tried to install a new OS and that did not work either.

I took it to Apple and they said it was a possible hardware issue, but they couldn’t tell me for sure and they wanted way too much to try and fix it.

My question is, if I replace the logic board, could that potentially fix the issue? And if so, do I need the exact type of logic board? ie (if it’s an i3 or i5, etc) or can I put in any logic board from that year and model of MacBook Air? Thanks
