My MacBook Air M2 got power dead while I was working on it and now it is not charging or turning on Hii I was working on my MacBook Air M2 ( bought in January 2024) when it suddenly turned off. The screen went blank. I realised that there was a charging alert that I just ignored because I was so indulged in my work thus the laptop must be power dead. I left it there for some time, an hour maybe and then when I tried to recharge it, the red light on the charging cable won’t turn on indicating that it’s charging. I tried every power socket at my place. They are all charging other stuff but not my MacBook. The charger and adapter seem to be in a good condition. I tried to press shift-control-option-power button for 10 sec and then released it and tried to press the power button again but it still didn’t turn on nor start charging.

MacBook Air Not Charging - MagSafe 2 My MagSafe 2 charger only blinks green once and never turns red like it used to; red meaning that it’s charging. My computer is dead and won’t let me restart, it barely charges. Sometimes it manages to get 1% of charge in only to die quickly after again. What should I do?

Macbook Air M2 not charging or powering on Hi all, i recently purchased a macbook air m2 about a month ago. Everything was working smoothly until this morning. It was at ~23% battery charge with a few work related tabs on chrome and then I closed it for the rest of the day (sleep mode and it was not left charging). This morning it was not turning on. I tried charging it (for ~ 20mins) but neither the magsafe light nor the screen was turning on. I tried another Macbook air m2 charger but this was also unsuccessful. Both chargers were working fine on another Macbook air so I'm left with the deduction that there is software issue with the said macbook air. All cables, port and chargers are new and unbroken. I tried the 10s power hold and normal press + release of power button but nothing. Any advice or recommendations provided would be greatly appreciated.

Hello there!

there are a few things that could be wrong here.

1) The most MacBooks have more ports, please test every usb-c port on your Mac.

2) If you have a MacBook with MagSafe, try to charge it via USB-C.

3) Check this article, for other solutions

If nothing worked, contact Apple Support.

Hope this helps!
