If your Mac doesn't turn on or start up - Apple Support


Then try these solutions, whether or not your Mac has signs of power:

  • Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds, then press it again.
  • Unplug all accessories from your Mac, including printers, drives, USB hubs, and mobile devices. (You could have an issue with one or more of those devices or their cables.) Once more, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds, then press it again.
  • Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
