Q: I have a macbook pro retina (2013) and am having powering on/startup issues.

Hey guys,

 

I have a Macbook pro Retina (2013) 13inch.

 

One day I tried to turn on my macbook while it was under charge and a lightning bolt with an empty battery meter appeared in the middle of the screen, after numerous attempts I was not able to start up the mac so I tried a SMC reset. Eventually the mac started up un-announced and crashed before I was able to log in. This time nothing appeared on the screen while trying to power on. I have tried this a couple of times and it will rarely start up but when it does it will crash every time before I have even logged on.

 

Things I have tried -

 

- I`ve checked the power connection

- Reset SMC

- Reset the NVRAM

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Thanks.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013)
