The Heart of the Problem

Actually, there are lots of different reasons for your MacBook not to power up when you press the power button. This can be anything from a low battery to a fancier issue such as a bad logic board. At times it may be only a system failure hidden behind the curtains waiting for its moment to strike.

The Silent Stalkers: Possible Reasons why MacBook will Not to Start aliment

To get to the bottom of the story of the silent MacBook we then, to borrow from Sherlock Holmes, need to know our suspects. Here are some common causes for this vexing issue:

1. Drained or Uncharged Battery: Just as a car which cannot start because it has no fuel, a MacBook which cannot start because it is having a breakdown in its battery.

2. Damaged Power Adapter or Cable: In my case I found out that if the power adapter cable is frayed, damaged or loose then it can be a reason that your MacBook will not charge.

3. Faulty Logic Board: The logic board works, in many ways, similar to the processor of your MacBook and controls almost everything including the power gears. If this is faulty, your MacBook will not power on which can be so annoying most especially when you have so much work to do.

4. Software Glitches: But this can happen and sometimes issue is not in some component of the Mac hardware: OS failure can make your MacBook not to start.

5. Liquid Damage: Some of the machine’s components are vulnerable to short-circuiting, and I know too well the feeling of pouring a drink on your MacBook because nothing is as mortifying as that.

6. Hardware Malfunction: These are those where the laptop’s display does not light up or the keyboard or trackpad won’t work meaning your MacBook won’t power on.

7. Overheating: At times your MacBook will turn off if it gets hot and when that happens you get a black screen on the Mac.

Wake Up Your MacBook–The Ultimate Manual

Now, armed with an understanding of potential issues, let's tackle the problem step by step:

1. Check the Power Connection: First of all make sure that your MacBook is charged correctly or it is connected to the power at all. It is important that you should try to look at the side of the adapter and the cable to see if there are some damages there. If all of them are normal you have wait for approximately five minutes with the battery charging to power the device before turning it on.

2. Inspect for Physical Damage: First of all it is necessary to examine the external part of your MacBook for any outside injury or abrasion mildly. The main things to check include; Wet areas, cracked screen and loose contacts. in case you get any, you should use the information provided above to consult a professional.

3. Force Restart Your MacBook: If you are like, oh no, my MacBook is unresponsive or even frozen, then force restart should just work for you. Hold down the ‘power’ button of the MacBook for about 10 seconds to turn down the MacBook. After few seconds, do the same until the power key turns on the device.

4. Try Safe Mode: Boot your MacBook through the safe mode and this you will be in a position to solve some of the issues that originate from the software. By doing this, press the power button until the “Apple Logo” icon appears on the screen. Press the button and without waiting for the key to rebound push the Shift button. Press and accompany with Shift key until the system begins booting and gives the startup sound or display the login screen.

5. Check System Logs: If the above steps do not solve the problem, then that is a different problem somewhere else entirely. Open Terminal which is under application -> utilities then type “csrutil status” to check the status of SIP. If so, you will have to turn it off in order to run some of the diagnostics applications off: Remember to go back to toggle it on after using it though.

6. Visit an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider: If after following the above instructions your MacBook is still dead, it can only mean one thing; it’s time to service your laptop. Problems that are complex require technical support from tools found at Apple Stores and other Apple’s partners.
