Hello Derek_NG,


With your Mac not powering on, we'd recommend the following steps from If your Mac doesn't turn on - Apple Support:


If your Mac doesn't seem to turn on after you press the power button, follow these steps.


  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.


Thanks!

Hi, ShannonM1,


  Thanks for your reply. After several tries, I have succeeded to turn on the Mac Pro. It seemed that it was due to the process of updating the OS to the latest OS. It crashed during the update. May be it had corrupted the memory or something else. Anyway, after it had turned on and continued the update, it resumed normal again. The machine runs perfectly. During the process of replacing the internal CR2032, I found out that the quality of the computer was extremely good. It is value for money. I hope the machine can run for more ten years. 


Thank you every one for giving me a help.


Cheers,

Derek
