    • Fans, keyboard backlight, status indicator, battery indicator, display backlight, power button, close/open the lid, sleep or shut down, battery doesn't charge, MagSafe indicator light incorrect status.
    • Hold down the <shift><control><option> keys, and then, press the power button. Hold all of them for, at least, 10 seconds.
  2. Reset your Mac's NVRAM or PRAM.
  3. Boot up your Mac in Safe Mode.

  4. Run either Apple Hardware Test (AHT) (pre-2013 Macs) or Apple Diagnostics (2013+ Macs) to uncover any hardware issues with your Mac.
