Causes:
Faulty Power Source:
Check the charger, cable, and electrical outlet. Try using a different charger to eliminate power source issues.
Battery Fault:
Batteries can fail, causing power problems. Consider replacing your battery with a quality-tested unit from Salvation Repair.
Firmware Corruption:
If your Mac was manufactured in 2018 or later, firmware corruption could prevent it from booting up. Try using Direct Firmware Upgrade or DFU mode to diagnose or resolve this issue.
Bad Power-In Board:
MacBook power input can fail due to various reasons. Check the ports and cables connecting to the logic board for damage or corrosion.
Trackpad Malfunction:
Liquid damage can cause trackpad issues, leading to power problems. Carefully remove the battery, cable, and trackpad for inspection.
Faulty Wi-Fi:
Wi-Fi functionality can malfunction due to faulty cards or board integration. Check the Wi-Fi card if accessible, or consider replacing the board.
Faulty Storage:
A bad hard drive or solid-state drive (SSD) can result in no power. Identify your device’s storage type and consider replacing the drive if necessary.
Faulty Logic Board:
The logic board is the central hub of your MacBook. If all other troubleshooting steps fail, consider logic board replacement.
