Q: My MacBook Air has been working fine. Last night I shut it down and this morning it won't turn on
MY MacBook Air is about 1.5 years old. Bought it new. Last night I shut the computer down and when I went to turn it on this morning... Nothing. The computer would not turn on. I put it on the charger and it was responding to that but still would not turn on. Any suggestions as to what is wrong?

Try these steps:
Restart your Mac with the Shift button pressed.
- Shut down your Mac
- Wait until your computer turns off and after that press the Power button
- Right after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key
- Release the Shift key when you see a grey Apple sign and the progress bar below this sign
- Once you see Desktop, start a Disk Utility scan to detect and repair file system errors (don't forget to choose your main hard drive)
- Click on Verify Disc and then, if asked to fix problems, on Repair Disk
- After this, click on Verify Disk Permissions and then on Repair Disk Permissions
- After the process is finished, shut down your Mac and turn it back on after about 30 seconds
Apart from that, take a look at this Apple article and follow the instructions on Resetting NVRAM shown there: How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
