Apple® devices have dominated the tech world for years and are considered by many to be the highest-quality products on the market. However, even with their reputation for excellence, their tablets, phones, and computers can be vulnerable to technical issues like all other devices. Though the MacBook® is the high-water mark of the laptop scene, it can experience the occasional hiccup, such as problems turning on. If you're having difficulty starting up your Mac® laptop, it may be due to one of these reasons.

Why Your MacBook Won't Turn On

1. Poor Power Connection

If your MacBook won't power on at all, something as simple as a dead battery might be the culprit. Therefore, it's smart to rule this out first. If all wires appear to be in their proper places, make sure the outlet is receiving power by plugging in another device and seeing if it's able to power on. If the outlet seems fine and the laptop has been charging for a few minutes but still won't power on, you might have a dead battery.

2. Conflicting Accessories

If you have any accessories, such as a printer, USB drive, or another device, plugged into your MacBook, it could interrupt the startup sequence, confuse the Apple device, and cause it to shut back down. If this is the issue, unplug the accessory and let your computer or laptop fully boot up before plugging it back in. 

3. Display Issue

If your computer hums when you press the power button and makes all the sounds that indicate it's starting up, but the screen is still blank, there could be a problem with the display. The good news is that this doesn't impact the data on your computer. You'll simply need to take in your Apple device for screen repair.
