MacBook Won’t Turn On? Don’t Worry, We’ve Got You Covered!

Are you frustrated with your MacBook that won’t turn on? Don’t worry, it’s not the end of the world. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the possible causes and solutions to get your MacBook up and running in no time.

First Steps

Before we dive into the more complex solutions, let’s cover the basics. Make sure you’ve tried the following:

• Reset the System Management Controller (SMC)
• Reset the PRAM or NVRAM
• Check the display for any signs of life (even if it’s just a faint glow)

Causes of a MacBook That Won’t Turn On

Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s explore the possible causes of a MacBook that won’t turn on:

Faulty Power Source

Your MacBook’s power source could be the culprit. Try using a different charger or power outlet to rule out any issues with your current setup.

Battery Fault

Batteries can be finicky, and a faulty one might be preventing your MacBook from turning on. If you suspect a battery issue, try removing the battery and plugging in your MacBook to see if it turns on.

Firmware Corruption

If your MacBook is from 2018 or newer, it’s possible that a firmware issue is preventing it from turning on. Try using Apple’s Configurator 2 to revive or restore your MacBook.

Bad Power-In Board

The power-in board is a common failure point in MacBooks. If you suspect a problem with your power-in board, try using a different power source or replacing the board altogether.

Trackpad Malfunction

A faulty trackpad can prevent your MacBook from turning on. Try removing the trackpad and cleaning it to see if that resolves the issue.

Faulty Wi-Fi

A malfunctioning Wi-Fi card can prevent your MacBook from turning on. Try removing the Wi-Fi card and seeing if that resolves the issue.

Faulty Storage

A faulty hard drive or solid-state drive (SSD) can prevent your MacBook from turning on. Try removing the storage device and seeing if that resolves the issue.

Faulty Logic Board

If none of the above solutions work, it’s possible that your MacBook’s logic board is faulty. This is a more complex issue that may require professional repair.
