Macs are not immune from problems. On occasion, pushing the Power button on your Mac will have no effect, and macOS may crash or launch incorrectly. These instructions should be followed if your Mac won’t power on.
When you press the power button, your MacBook won’t turn on. The display on your MacBook is totally dark. What do I need to do now? Don’t worry! To determine what’s wrong with your MacBook, adhere to the provided guidelines in detail.
Try the below DIY instructions before you consider getting a MacBook Air screen replacement. With the help of this article, you may be able to resolve the problem on your own even if you don’t consider yourself to be technically savvy.
Things to Do if Your MacBook Air Does Not Turn On.
1. Check the Hardware
Make sure all of the cords on your Mac desktop are properly positioned if you’re using one. If it’s a Mac Mini, for instance, make sure the video-out connection is firmly connected to both the Mac Mini and the display. To make sure the wires are well seated, try unplugging them all and then plugging them back in again.
If you’ve recently opened up your Mac and fiddled with its hardware, that could have caused the problem. For instance, if you replaced RAM or changed the hard drive, you might want to try putting the old hardware back in or simply making sure those parts are properly situated in your Mac. In the worst-case scenario, try turning off any superfluous peripherals before attempting to boot your Mac.
2. Use Disk Utility From Recovery Mode
If your Mac actually starts up, but macOS doesn’t load correctly, there’s probably a software issue. There’s a chance that your Mac’s discs are corrupt, but you can correct this in recovery mode.
Start your Mac in recovery mode first. During the boot-up process, hold down the Command and R keys. As soon as you hear the chime, you should attempt pressing these buttons. Your Mac should start up in recovery mode. Try again after restarting your Mac if it doesn’t, as you probably didn’t push the keys quickly enough.
Try to repair your Mac’s disc by selecting “Disk Utility,” going to the First Aid tab, and then clicking. You don’t need to manually run the “fsck” command since the Disk Utility does the procedure.
3. Confirm that it has power
Ensure that your MacBook Air is connected to a power source. Try switching to a new charger or power cable, or try a different power outlet. The charger can be damaged. If your MacBook’s battery is completely dead, you might need to wait a few seconds before turning it on after connecting it in. Your MacBook Air won’t turn on even after you plug it in. If so, you might need to get an MacBook Air screen replacement for your computer.
4. Restore in Recovery Mode
If the Disk Utility failed to fix your Mac, you can reinstall macOS. Choose “Reinstall macOS” from the Recovery Mode menu to have your Mac download the most recent macOS installation files and reinstall its operating system. You could also restore from a Time Machine backup. If the operating system on your Mac is compromised, doing this will replace the affected software with a new, undamaged operating system.
5. Reset the System Management Controller Firmware
Periodically, you may need to reset the system management controller (SMC) firmware on your Mac. This should only be attempted as a last option if your Mac is utterly unresponsive to power button presses.
Any current MacBooks without a replaceable battery should be plugged in. Shift, Control, and Option buttons on the left side of the keyboard should be pressed while holding down the Power button. Once all four buttons have been simultaneously released, press the Power button to turn on the Mac.
Older MacBooks with replaceable batteries should have the power source unplugged and the battery removed. The Power button must be held down for five seconds after being pressed. Once the battery has been changed and the Mac has been plugged in, press the Power button once again to restart it.
6. Perform a power cycle
If you’ve recently opened up your Mac and fiddled with its hardware, that could have caused the problem. For instance, if you replaced RAM or changed the hard drive, you might want to try putting the old hardware back in or simply making sure those parts are properly situated in your Mac. In the worst-case scenario, try turning off any superfluous peripherals before attempting to boot your Mac.
The Bottom Line
If none of the suggestions above worked to get your Mac to turn on, recovery mode isn’t functional, or macOS doesn’t load properly even after you reinstall it from recovery mode, your Mac likely has a hardware problem.
For a MacBook Air screen replacement while it’s still under warranty, get in touch with Apple or take it to your local Apple Store. Even if you don’t have a warranty, bring it to an Apple Store or another place where Apple computers are repaired so they can try to fix it.
