All of a sudden, your MacBook won't turn on? It's likely that the logic board is damaged.
Cheap USB adapters or power adapters are sometimes defective and can damage the logic board.
The MacBook starts up, but the screen stays black? It's probably a logic board or screen issue.
It’s really frustrating: You want to work on your MacBook, but it won’t turn on. Just throwing it away to buy a new one would be a total waste, expensive, and not exactly eco-friendly. Fortunately, there’s a solution when your MacBook won’t turn on—and that’s repair.
We at notebooknerds are experts in this field and love what we do. That’s why we’re particularly knowledgeable about MacBook hardware, can quickly identify issues, and are able to fix them promptly. We repair the following models:
If a MacBook no longer turns on, the display stays black or the notebook crashes after a few minutes, you don’t have to buy a new one. Often, the cause is a faulty logic board (also known as motherboard), a defective display or other faulty hardware.
What’s special about us is that we don’t replace components, as is usual with Apple service providers, but repair them. This is more cost-effective, environmentally friendly and thus also saves natural resources. Another advantage of this approach is that we can recover data that would otherwise be lost. Only when we can no longer repair the affected component will we replace it. The same applies to data: We will never delete data without prior consultation with you. Fortunately, this is only necessary in the rarest of cases. We very often receive very positive feedback from our customers, which you can read on Google HERE. This encourages us that we are going in the right direction.
For laymen, it is often not so easy to find the exact cause of the error, which is why the MacBook no longer turns on. All you know is that your notebook is no longer working the way it should. This is where we, the experts at notebokknerds, come in. Our special service is free fault diagnosis.
Just send us your MacBook and we will put it through its proverbial paces. Once we find the error, we will tell you the error and the price of the repair. Until we have your final okay, we’re not going to start. This way you always keep full control over your costs. We also promise you that we will never charge any fees after the fact.
The first step is to conveniently request a free diagnostic check for your MacBook. Simply use our request form to do so.
Once you’ve decided to have your MacBook diagnosed, we’ll send you a free shipping label so you can send it in.
We’ll let you know as soon as your MacBook arrives at our facility and will begin troubleshooting as soon as possible. You’ll receive results and updates by phone or email.
After we’ve explained the repair options to you, you decide whether you want us to perform a repair. Depending on your decision, we’ll either begin the repair or return your device to you.
If you decide to have your MacBook repaired, we’ll perform a final test. If the test is successful, you’ll receive an email with our invoice. You’ll pay for our service at that time. We’ll then ship your MacBook back to you.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Just call us during our opening hours or send us a voice message via WhatsApp.
After you have filled out the form, you will receive your free shipping label from us by mail. With this label, you can send in your MacBook and we will start diagnosing the problem.

Is your MacBook not turning on? It might just be that it’s “frozen up.” Find out quickly and easily by trying two keyboard shortcuts. These two shortcuts let you perform an SMC reset and an NVRAM reset.
Resetting the SMC
The SMC (System Management Controller) performs many tasks, such as controlling your fans and managing power—including charging your battery.
Resetting NVRAM
Is your MacBook not turning on? This could be due to issues with the NVRAM, which stores settings such as screen brightness, volume, and your startup partition. Resetting the NVRAM is a simple way to fix some issues if your MacBook won’t turn on. Here’s how to perform a reset:
You can also find more information at iFixit.
If the keyboard shortcuts haven’t solved the problem yet, you can next check to see if there might be an issue with the display.
Caps Lock Test
Is your MacBook no longer turning on, and do you want to check if it will even start up at all? You can test this by following these steps:
If the Caps Lock key is lit, there is a good chance that your MacBook has a problem with the display. You can find prices for a display replacement here: MacBook Display Repair
If the first two tips didn’t work and your MacBook still won’t turn on, there might be a problem with your battery. Check to see if your MacBook still starts up when you plug in the charging cable. If the MacBook turns off immediately as soon as you unplug the charging cable, then your battery is most likely defective and needs to be replaced.
We’re happy to help you with this issue as well. Feel free to call us (+4923122614630) or send us a WhatsApp message.
Is your MacBook no longer turning on and suddenly displaying a question mark or a crossed-out circle? Are you having a problem with your operating system or hard drive? We can help you with that, too.
Your MacBook won’t turn on and you want to know why? Just book a free diagnostic check, and our experts will tell you exactly what the problem is and how to fix it.
