Hello, I can really feel your frustrations. Fortunately, my MacBook Air was an easy fix at the Apple Store today. One thing I want to add, when booting up into recovery or other dianostic modes on the computer, voiceover can be access with the command-F5. The voice is not Alex, but some other boyish voice, but at least there is accessibility to the information. The volume is low and it can't be increased. Just letting you know about this pointer. HTH. Good luck and you may need to contact Apple Care.
