Causes and Solutions for a MacBook That Won't Turn On

There are several reasons why your MacBook won't turn on. Below we discuss the most common causes and give you tips to solve the problem yourself.

1. Check the power supply

It may sound obvious, but it’s always a good idea to start by checking the power supply. Make sure your MacBook is properly plugged into a wall outlet and that the charger is plugged into the MacBook. Try a different outlet to see if that fixes the problem.

2. Reset the System Management Controller (SMC)

The SMC is responsible for managing the hardware inside your MacBook, such as the keyboard, fans, and battery charging. Sometimes, resetting the SMC can bring a MacBook that won’t turn on back to life. Follow the steps on the Apple Support website to reset the SMC on your specific MacBook model.

3. Check the battery

If your MacBook has not been charged for a while, the battery may be completely empty. Charge your MacBook for at least 30 minutes and then try again. If your MacBook still does not turn on, the battery may need to be replaced. In that case, you can contact leapp for a fast and reliable battery replacement of your Macbook .

4. Boot into safe mode

Sometimes, booting your MacBook into safe mode can help identify the problem. Hold down the Shift key while booting to boot your MacBook into safe mode. If your MacBook boots in safe mode, there may be a software problem. In that case, try restarting your MacBook without holding down the Shift key.

5. Perform a PRAM/NVRAM reset

Resetting the PRAM and NVRAM can help resolve issues with your MacBook starting up. Turn your MacBook off, then turn it back on while holding down the Command, Option, P, and R keys at the same time. Release these keys after you hear the startup sound for the second time. This will reset your MacBook’s PRAM and NVRAM, which may fix the issue.
