Laptop Not Turning On? Causes & Fixes in KL

Step 1 — Try These First

• Plug into charger and wait 10 minutes — battery may be fully discharged.
• Try a different power adapter if available.
• Remove the battery (if removable) and boot from AC power only.
• Hold power button for 30 seconds to discharge residual electricity, then try again.
• If you hear fans spin then immediately shut off — it's likely a POST failure.

Possible Causes & Repairs

• Dead battery → Battery replacement (RM 150–500, same day)

MacBook Not Turning On

• SMC reset — hold Shift+Control+Option + Power for 10 seconds.
• PRAM/NVRAM reset — hold Command+Option+P+R on startup.
• If neither works, it's likely a Power IC (T2 chip on newer MacBooks) or water damage.
