Troubleshooting

MacBook Pro won't turn on.

Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the MacBook Pro and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet or charger if available. If still unresponsive, force restart by pressing and holding the Touch ID button (power button) for about 10 seconds.

Applications are running slowly or freezing.

Check Activity Monitor (Applications > Utilities) for resource-intensive apps. Quit unnecessary applications. Ensure your macOS and applications are up to date. If storage is nearly full, free up space by deleting unused files or offloading to external storage.

Wi-Fi connectivity issues.

Turn Wi-Fi off and on again in Control Center or System Settings. Restart your router and modem. If the issue persists, try resetting Wi-Fi settings in System Settings or testing on a different Wi-Fi network.

Display is not working correctly (e.g., flickering, no image).

Restart your MacBook Pro. If using an external display, ensure the cable is secure and try a different port or cable. Check display settings in `System Settings` > `Displays`. If the built-in screen is affected, contact Apple Support.

Battery drains quickly.

Review Battery settings in `System Settings` to identify apps consuming significant power. Reduce screen brightness, disable unnecessary background processes, and ensure all software is updated. Consider recalibrating the battery by allowing it to fully discharge occasionally.
