That begins with eliminating where it isn't. There is a real issue with powering the MacBook now it's simply a matter of figuring out where the problem may be. Finally, find out whether the problem doesn't lie with the laptop at all: Try plugging the power cord into a different outlet to see if you've got a short or a blown fuse.Īt this point, we've determined that it's not just user error causing the problem. Is there debris in the MagSafe port preventing a clean connection? Is the power adapter fully plugged into the outlet? Check the AC adapter brick and verify that any removable cords are fully inserted. No software tweak or hardware repair can make a disconnected laptop magically power on.īefore checking anything else, then, you need to ensure that both the AC outlet and MagSafe plugs are firmly seated. It sounds silly, but you need to make sure that the MacBook is actually plugged in. Save the Geniuses a moment of work by running through this quick checklist of possible problems that you can diagnose right now, in your own home. But wait! Don't go running off to the nearest Apple Store just yet. No amount of engineered sound and carefully designed feel can make up for the frustration of a laptop that won't charge when plugged in. From the clean look, to the solid feel, to the perfectly easy works-every-time design, it's really a great feeling. In that combination of magnetic attraction, the metallic meeting of plug and connector, and the sudden flow of electricity, there's nothing quite as satisfying as plugging in your MacBook. I suspect that Apple's design team spent an absurd amount of time and money developing the way a MagSafe connector clicks into place when you plug in your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.
