How to physically inspect the hardware

The first method that should be tried is the inspection of the hardware, as it’s the most common reason. First of all, you should take a look at the charger of your MacBook. You should accurately inspect every inch of the cable to make sure that it’s in proper condition. You should make sure that there aren’t any damages. Keep in mind, that cable condition is very important, as the cable can help you to transfer the sound from Mac to TV, charge the device, connect external speakers, etc.

You should also make sure that there aren’t any damages in the port where the cable would be plugged in. Not everyone knows, but even the dust can cause problems that the port detectors won’t recognize the cable. If it’s your case, you should take something made from wood and clear the port.

It can be funny, but many users just forget to plug the charger into the socket and that’s why the Mac may not charge. So, you should make sure that you’ve connected the charger to the socket.

How to reboot your MacBook

This method’s also one of the most common and easy solutions. It’s possible to reboot Lenovo, Apple, HP, LG, etc devices. Moreover, restarting the device can solve many more issues except for the charging one. So, if you want to reboot your MacBook, you should follow the prompts which would be mentioned in the section below:

  1. First of all, you should tap on the “Apple” logo which can be found in the top left corner of your screen.
  2. After that, you should tap on the “Restart” option.
  3. To complete the process, you should wait till the device would switch on and try to plug in the charger.

In this way, all the bugs can be fixed and the charging issue can also be solved. Of course, it may sound weird, but this method really helps to fix many issues with the devices such as laptops, smartphones, TVs, etc.

How to check your battery health on MacBook

The health of your battery is one of the most important factors while using the device. It should be periodically checked on all devices such as laptops, phones, etc. The main problem’s that your device may stop working properly and efficiently if the battery health is low, as the battery can be damaged. If you want to view the battery health state, you should follow the prompts which would be displayed in the section below:

  1. First of all, you should switch on your Mac.

  4. Next, you’d see the advanced options of the menu displayed. There are two states your battery may be in “Normal“, which means that the battery is functioning properly, or “Service Recommended“, which means that the battery keeps the charge less than it had before.

Now, you’ll be able to make sure that your battery’s in a good condition. However, you should always take care of the condition of your battery. This can prevent many problems and let you use the device for ages without any bugs and issues.

It may surprise you, as many users even don’t know that overheating can cause many issues with maintaining the device. Moreover, overheating can be the reason for issues with the charging your Mac process.

However, what’s the bond between the overheating and the battery? The answer is quite simple, if the thermal sensors within your laptop catch an intense grade in temperature, they choke out the access to the battery as a safety measure.

You should definitely cool down your Mac if you want to be satisfied with its work. You can just switch off it and leave it for a while without any actions to let it cool down itself, however, if you need to speed up the process, you can put the fan near. In case you work outside, you’ll need to move to a shadow.
