If your Mac doesn't turn on:



  1. Make sure that your Mac is connected to AC power. If it doesn't have a built-in display, make sure that your external display is connected to power, connected to your Mac, and turned on.
  2. Press and hold the power button on your Mac for at least 10 seconds, then release.
  3. Every Mac has a power button. On notebook computers that have Touch ID, press and hold Touch ID.
  4. If you see no change on your Mac, press and release the power button normally.
  5. If your Mac now turns on but stops at some other screen during startup, follow the steps for when your Mac doesn't start up all the way.


If your Mac still doesn't turn on, please contact Apple Support. 

My MacBook is 2014 with removable battery. My MacBook doesn’t work with the battery at all, I have tried replacing the batteries multiple times. It did not work. I had to disconnect the battery and use the direct power supply for my MacBook to work. It has stopped working with the direct power supply now and no LED lid up when I plugged the magnetic connector to my MacBook. I have tried using my spare power adapter but same results no power LED.
