How to fix MacBook Air M1 2020 not turning on

Troubleshooting MacBook Air M1 Charger and Power Issues

If your MacBook Air M1 charger is not working, your device’s battery will not charge, preventing normal usage. To ensure your charger is functioning correctly, follow these steps:

1. Check the MacBook Air M1 Charger and Power Connection

• Inspect the charger for any physical damage, such as frayed wires or bent pins.
• The MacBook Air M1 charger comes with a removable AC power cord. Check both ends of the power cord for wear and tear.
• Ensure the charger is firmly plugged into the wall outlet and the MacBook Air M1.
• Verify that the wall outlet is working by testing it with another device.
• If possible, try using another compatible charger to rule out any faults with your current charger.

2. Perform a Basic Power Reset

• Press and hold the Power button for at least 10 seconds to force a shutdown.
• Unplug the power cable for 10 seconds, then reconnect it securely.
• Restart your MacBook Air M1 by pressing the Power button again.

3. Adjust Display Brightness if MacBook Shows a Black Screen

If your MacBook Air M1 keeps displaying a black screen after pressing the power button:

• Press the F1 and F2 keys to increase the display brightness.
• If adjusting the brightness doesn’t work, your display may have a hardware issue.

4. Boot into Safe Mode on M1 MacBook

Safe Mode helps determine if third-party software or extensions are causing the issue.

1. Press and hold the Power button until the startup disks and Options appear on the screen.
2. Hold the Power button for at least 5 seconds until the MacBook turns off.
3. Connect the MagSafe charger (if applicable).
4. Hold Shift-Control-Option (on the left-hand side of the keyboard) and the Power button simultaneously for 10 seconds.
5. Release all the keys.
6. Press the Power button to turn on your MacBook Air M1.
7. If the Mac boots successfully, you have entered Safe Mode and can check for software-related issues.

5. Reset the SMC (System Management Controller)

Resetting the SMC can fix issues related to power, battery, and other hardware functions.

For MacBooks with Non-Removable Batteries (M1/M2 and Newer Intel Models)

1. Shut down the MacBook Air M1.
2. Press and hold Shift + Control + Option (on the left side) and the Power button for 10 seconds.
3. Release all keys simultaneously.
4. Press the Power button to turn on your MacBook Air M1.

For MacBooks with Removable Batteries (Older Intel Models)

1. Hold the Power button for at least 5 seconds until the MacBook turns off.
2. Remove the power adapter and battery from the MacBook.
3. Press and hold the Power button for 5 seconds to discharge any residual electrical energy from the SMC circuit. Alternatively, wait a few minutes for natural discharge.
4. Reinstall the battery into the MacBook.
5. Press the Power button to turn on your MacBook. The SMC has now been reset.

6. Reset PRAM/NVRAM (Intel MacBooks Only)

Resetting the PRAM/NVRAM can resolve display, sound, and power-related issues.

1. Hold the Power button for at least 5 seconds until the MacBook turns off.
2. Press the Power button to turn on the MacBook.
3. As soon as you hear the startup chime or see any light on the screen, press and hold Control + Option + R + P simultaneously.
4. Keep holding all four keys until the MacBook restarts.
5. Release all keys after the restart. Your PRAM has now been reset.

Final Steps

• If none of these steps work, consider testing your MacBook with another charger.
• If the MacBook still does not turn on, it may require professional repair, possibly due to a faulty battery, logic board, or charging port issue.
• Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Authorized Service Provider for further diagnostics.

By following these steps, you can resolve many common charging and power-related issues with your MacBook and restore its normal functionality.
