There are many reasons why it is not turning on, you could try these recommended steps to fix it:


  1. Make sure that your Mac is connected to AC power. If it doesn't havea 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. Every Mac has a power button. On notebook computers that have Touch ID, press and hold Touch ID.
  3. If you see no change on your Mac, press and release the power button normally.
  4. 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 all of these does not work, please contact Apple Support.
