Way 1: Perform a Power Cycle 1:35s
Way 2: Check Your Adapter and Charging Cable 2:08s
Way 3: Check the Hardware 2:31s
Way 4: Reset the NVRAM 2:58s
Way 5: Reset System Management Controller 3:38s
Way 6: Re-Install MacOS 4:48s
Perform a Power Cycle
Step 1 - Unplug all the power cables and turn off your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air by pressing and holding the “Power Button”.
Step 2 - Continue holding the power button for 10 more seconds and reconnect the cables. Keep pressing the power button for 10 more seconds.
Step 3 - Now, reboot your MacBook again and see if the issue of Mac won’t start up is gone or not.
Check Your Adapter and Charging Cable
In many cases, MacBook won’t turn on issue arises due to a faulty AC adapter/charging cable. Try swapping the adapter and the cable with a different one to see if MacBook turns on or not. In case it’s working fine with the new cable/adapter, the only solution would be to replace the entire charging setup with a new one.
Check the Hardware
If you’re using Mac Desktop, the issue might be caused due to loosely connected cables. Take a look at the cables and make sure that each connection is firm. In case you’ve recently opened your Mac to install a new hardware component like a hard-drive or a RAM, this might also cause the Mac won’t turn on issue. In this case, either reinstall the old hardware or make sure that each component is perfectly placed in its socket.
Reset the NVRAM
Step 1 - Shut down your MacBook.
Step 2 - Simultaneously press and hold “Command + Option + P + R” keys and wait for your MacBook to turn on.
Step 3 - Your MacBook will play the second reboot chime. Release all the keys once you hear the sound.
Reset System Management Controller
Step 1 - Shut down your MacBook and unplug the power cable.
Step 2 - Connect the power cable again and press the Shift + Ctrl + Option/Alt keys and the power button simultaneously.
Step 3 - Release all the buttons at the same time and you’ll notice a small flicker in your power cable’s light. This is an indication that SMC has been reset successfully.
Step 4 - Restart your MacBook and check if the “MacBook Air does not turn on” issue is gone or not.
Re-Install MacOS
Reinstalling the entire MacOS would probably the last solution on your list.
Step 1 - Shut down your MacBook and press the power button again. Boot it in recovery mode by pressing “Command + R”.
Step 2 - The macOS utility window will appear on your screen with different options. Use the arrow keys to choose “Reinstall macOS”.
Step 3 - If asked, enter your Apple ID and continue with the process. It may take several minutes for the OS to reinstall completely.
Step 4 - Once the setup wizard quits, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.
I hope those ways will be helpful for you to fix Mac won't be turn on issue.

Maybe don’t talk about turning off a computer in a video about computers that won’t turn on!! 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
I mean, where else would you find this? A newspaper? A magazine? You can just use your phone or something
@@rycegabrielmajor9847 You are not very bright I see
@@Niaaal it says how to fix a COMPUTER so just use something either than a computer
Ikr it’s pretty stupid
I came because mine isn’t turning on not trying to turn it on if it already turns on 🤦
How am I suppose to reinstall the OS if my mac won't turn on? WTH
Im having same problem i bought a fuckin 3000$ stupid metal box that wont turn on
@@mehreetsingh6314 because you're stupid go buy windows
Y O U R H E R O hey maybe don’t be an ass, just a suggestion
Y O U R H E R O why are you even here if you hate MacBooks so much
Y O U R H E R O windows gets viruses easily and it even sucks the only windows that i have seen that is good is Windows 7
All nonsense...most of the so called fix assumes the Mac turns on, and we are here because it doesn't turn on. HUH?
Exactly 🤦🏻♂️
Same here
We’re here for his ad revenue. Similar content. I don’t want any of his content
If it doesnt work for you it doesnt mean its all nonsense there ‘s always hardware software and malware issues in these devices the video is mostly for general tips
Sadly, none of this worked for me but I found the process easy to follow. Perhaps you should have mentioned that re-installing the OS means losing any data not backed up to external storage. Luckily I had learned this from another online help video but others may not be aware of it.
Also, you can't reinstall if you can't turn on your MacBook
@@paulemeister42 I am so scared
You kept talking about turning the machine off, this was to help turn it on. I can't even get it on to turn it off again!
Unplug the charger, hold down Shift+Control+Option+Power button for 10 seconds, then release all at once. Plug back the charger and press the power button normally. This worked for me. After your system comes on, shutdown and do the SMC reset to prevent the issue from recurring Let's know if this works for you.
Giwa Iziomo it isn’t working
@@ismailminawi581 Can you describe a bit more your system issue?
@@Giwizy4shizle Brother I am having one issue with my Mac book Air
When turned on something is showing even I doubt know what is that pls guide me on this problem
@@Giwizy4shizle I also have this problem. Yesterday I updated my Macbook Pro 2017 new version at the battery of 30% without commecting to charger. Then it just turned off. All I could see was a black screen with red battery icon and it turned off again. I plugged the charger for several hours and turned it on again, but it was still responsive. I'm so stressed out about it. Please help me.
I got my macbook air less then two months ago and none of these worked :(
Mee too
Same
Same!but i got mine late january 2020 but its stol relatively new. But you know bc of all the pandemic ive been using it for series 15 hrs a day. Damn now ive been studying and it just blacked out! I wanted to cry

You’re a legend. Resetting the System Management Controller brought my Mac Pro back to life. Thanks man!
You’re a life savior. I was literally on edge earlier cause I thought I needed to buy a new macbook. The last step legit helped me fixing my macbook problem. Thank you so much! Highly recommend this video to everyone who needs urgent help with their laptop.
None of the mentioned steps worked

“Without wasting an other second” goes on to waste 6 more minutes
Minus all the blather, the information given here could’ve fit in ~40 seconds, tops.
If you macbook won't turn on... turn it off then try and rebooting it. Really?
Mike Beer you don’t think that we tried that?
🤣🤣🤣
This tutorial saved me from purchasing a brand new MacBook Pro. I acquired the very first version from an Apple Store 15 years ago and never had any problems with it until about a month ago when the screen went black. I followed the instruction by removing the back, disconnecting the battery, and the reconnecting it. The computer’s screen turned on immediately. A few days later while I was working on it the screen went black again. I re-visited the tutorial and followed the instructions to remove the internal memory boards, clean the connector, and re-insert them. The screen lit right up and my computer is operating as if it were brand new. The so-called technicians at the Apple Store’s “GENIUS BAR” didn’t have a clue as to what to do and advised me to purchase a new computer. Boy, were they wrong!
Well he fixed mine in the first one
I've a MacBook Pro late 2012 model and I merely had any issue with my mac until now. Actually since few months back there was an issue with the charger. I had to put something right beneath or on top of the charging head in order to charge. Recently I repaired it but unfortunately till then my mac's completely drained out of power. And now it refuses to take charge or if it's charging (only green light is showing up; don't know even if it's charging) it's not turning on. Checked the charger with other macs and it's charging 'em showing orange light after connecting but not in my macbook. What could be the issue, it's so frustrating... Can anybody suggest any solution, it would be highly appreciated.
Hope this work, it may save me money and avoid using it as an excuse to get an M2.
Thanks pressing the command option P and R buttons simultaneously helped me

Currently running your very last option 🤞🏽 it will workout.
A massive thanks for putting this up! 🙏🏽💛✨
Now, Apple? Please, COME ON, stop giving me hard times so often 😫 my MacBook is only 5 years old. Started with the blinking file... now the blackout (sort of, only the minimum screen light showing).
is it okay now?
Finally someone who knows what they are talking about. Clear and concise instructions
really? on a video about how to turn on a macbook on his first step is to turn it off
yeh. turnin off a computer that cant turn on ... hahahaha
Mine worked on the Shift + Control + Option and power button 😅😅 .. so glad !!
Hello, what if all the options didn't work and then when trying to reinstall the Mac os system the screen was still blank even after doing the command r option?
Hi 👋🏻, thanks so much - your suggestion about taking the power source out - holding the off button for 10 secs and then reconnecting the power source whilst continuing to hold down the power button worked wonders! Much appreciated 💪🏻💗

Thank you, resetting the SMC worked for me
Thank you so much for your video. I have watched several videos even ordered a tour kit on Amazon. It hasn’t gotten here yet though. But I just watched your video and the last option worked. Thank you again so much for your help.
This wasnt very useful for me since i got macbook pro 2019 15"
Same for me😭😭
I was so frustrated because nothing was working for me, and while trying another key combination I unexpectedly made it work again!
I was holding the power button down (I have a MacBook Pro 2019 touch bar) and accidentally pressed the DELETE button, which is right next to the power button, and it came back to life again like nothing happened!
I have no idea what was the problem. My laptop was on, I closed the lid, and when I opened it back it was completely dead. It was making the "charging" noise when plugging in the power cord though.
I share this hoping it helps out someone out there, cuz it's so damn frustrating not finding a solution. It's kind of funny how I did.
Thanks for sharing!!!
Hey man! You saved a working day for me ;)). Thanks a ton!
Worked! Needed to reset “SMC” I didn’t get a flicker in the power light but the screen did flash battery at 100% next time I pressed the power button the Mac book powered on. Whew! Before this, looking at a dead screen really had me upset. Showing a text across the screen in your presentation of each method was very helpful. Explaining what each method was resetting was interesting and shows you clearly understand what you’re talking about. This saved me a trip to the “Genius Bar” and the hassle and delay of trying to arrange an appointment. Sincerely, Thank You!
Thank you so much. I thought I had to get a another laptop because I had this one for 4 years and I am a current college student trying to complete homework assignments and projects. Beyond helpful!!
Thank you so much! I was about to take my Mac Air for repair before I watched your video. The issue got solved in seconds. Thanks a lot again.
‘Kay... Even the reinstall macOS part doesn’t pop up, still completely black. Please help! 😭
Thank you - min worked on the last option
