MacBook

MacBooks are known for their reliability, but even the best machines can stop turning on. If your MacBook is completely unresponsive, don’t panic—many causes are fixable, and we’re here to help you understand what’s happening.

1. 🔌 Check the Basics First

Is your charger working? Try another charger or USB‑C port.
Hold the power button for 10 seconds, then release and press it again.
Try an SMC reset (Shift + Control + Option + Power for 10 seconds on Intel Macs).

> 🔋 Tip: A faulty charging adapter or dirty charging port can prevent startup entirely.

2. 🛠 Common Internal Issues

If the basics don’t work, the problem could be deeper:

Dead battery

Logic board failure

Liquid damage

Damaged power IC or charging circuit

Our technicians can diagnose and repair these fast.

. 💦 Did You Spill Something?

Liquid spills are a common (and often hidden) cause of MacBook failure. Even a few drops can short out components silently. If you suspect this:

Do NOT try to power on.

Bring it in as soon as possible for ultrasonic cleaning and inspection.
