It’s alarming when your laptop or MacBook shows no signs of life even after being connected to power. At Boston Mobile Phone Repairs, we often encounter devices in this condition—and many are fixable without replacing the entire unit. Here’s how to troubleshoot before bringing it in:
Faulty power adapter, cable, or wall outlet
Battery has completely drained or failed
Loose internal battery connector
Delayed response from system due to firmware bug
Logic board or power circuitry fault
Check the Power Source
Try a different power cable, charger, and wall outlet.
Inspect for Temporary Charge Delay
Leave the laptop plugged in for 10–15 minutes before attempting to power up—it may need time to register.
Perform a Hard Reset
MacBook: Hold Power until it reboots.
Windows: Disconnect power, hold the power button for 30 seconds, then try again.
Remove Peripherals
Unplug all accessories—USB devices or docks can cause power issues.
Listen for Power Indicators
Do you hear fans start or see any LEDs light up? Even a faint sign may suggest slow startup or firmware hang.
If your laptop still won’t turn on after these steps, it may be due to:
A failing battery or power port
Logic board or power circuit damage
Firmware corruption requiring board-level repair
