Try this before you come in

• Power: try another cable, another USB-C or MagSafe adapter and another outlet. Let it charge for at least 15 minutes.
• The button: hold the power button (or Touch ID) for about ten seconds, release, then press it again.
• The screen: if you hear a sound, see the keyboard backlight or the Caps Lock light comes on, the Mac may be starting without a picture. Connect an external display to check.
• Intel Mac: an SMC reset can help; the steps depend on the model and Apple details them on its support site.

Why a MacBook won’t turn on

• Battery deeply drained, worn or swollen: see MacBook battery replacement;
• USB-C or MagSafe port damaged, or a failed charging circuit;
• Liquid spilled on the keyboard, sometimes days earlier: corrosion spreads under the keyboard;
• Logic board: a short on a power rail, a charging chip or a burnt component;
• Display or cable: the Mac works but shows nothing;
• Software: on Apple silicon Macs, damaged firmware can prevent startup; Apple provides a revive procedure from another Mac.

Your files: why the logic board matters

On recent MacBooks, storage is soldered to the logic board and encrypted by the chip: you can’t simply pull the drive to get your files. Without a backup, the only way to recover your data is often to bring the logic board back to life. That is exactly what our micro-soldering does, on site. See also data recovery.

Price and timing

The diagnostic is free, down to the logic board. The repair price depends on the cause found and is confirmed before we start.

Step	Price	Typical timing*
Diagnostic down to the logic board	Free	No appointment
Battery, charging port or screen	Firm quote after the diagnostic	Same day for many models
Logic board repair (micro-soldering)	Firm quote after the diagnostic	Depends on the damage found

*Depending on the model, the parts and the damage found. Not fixed? You don’t pay for the repair.
