Troubleshooting

MacBook Pro won't turn on.

Ensure the MagSafe 3 power adapter is securely connected to both the MacBook Pro and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet or power adapter if available. If the battery was fully depleted, allow it to charge for several minutes before attempting to power on.

Applications are running slowly or freezing.

Close any unnecessary applications running in the background. Open 'Activity Monitor' (found in Applications/Utilities) to identify and quit any processes consuming excessive CPU or memory. Ensure your macOS and all applications are updated to their latest versions.

Wi-Fi connection is unstable or not working.

Restart your Wi-Fi router and your MacBook Pro. Go to 'System Settings' > 'Wi-Fi', select your network, click 'Details', then 'Forget This Network' and reconnect. Ensure your router supports Wi-Fi 6E for optimal performance.

External display is not detected.

Verify that your external display is powered on and set to the correct input source. Check all cable connections between the MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt 5 ports and the display. Try restarting your MacBook Pro. Ensure display drivers (if applicable) are up to date.

Battery drains faster than expected.

Review battery usage by going to 'System Settings' > 'Battery' to see which applications or processes are consuming the most power. Lower screen brightness, disable Bluetooth or Wi-Fi when not in use, and ensure background app refresh is managed. Keep macOS updated to benefit from battery optimizations.
