MacBook won't boot - how to find the problem

If your MacBook won't boot up anymore, it's not only annoying, but can become a real problem for you. Also, driving to an Apple Store is time-consuming and often doesn't fit into your schedule. But what solution helps?

MacBook won't turn on: Properly diagnose the error

To plan the next step, you should first find out what is causing the problem.

1. If your MacBook turns on but still shows a dark screen, then it may be a simple problem that you can fix yourself. The important thing is that the MacBook is still starting. You can hear this or determine it from the illuminated elements. Often, the startup process is hindered in this case. Disconnect all devices from your MacBook and perform a restart.
2. You start your MacBook and the color of the display does not change at all, but you can perceive the usual background noise? Then the problem is more difficult to fix. In this case, the defect is that the connection between the motherboard and the display is broken or that the display is completely defective. Consult tutorials for a solution or bring your MacBook to Apple Support.
3. Once, however, the case arises that your MacBook no longer starts at all, you can hardly do anything yourself. In this case, take advantage of the manufacturer's offers or give your MacBook in repair.

What you can do if the Mac does not start

If the Mac does not start, try to force a restart of the device. To do this, press and hold the power button for at least ten seconds to make the Mac shut down. Then press the switch again to perform the restart.
