my Mac Studio m2 has trouble starting up, I press the start up button it flashes once then that’s it, I’ve unplugged all cables switched off power , that works sometimes. I’ve notice a few people have had same problems on here also on Reddit , does anyone know what’s causing this . ?
Mac Studio, macOS 26.0
Hi, I took my M2 Studio to the Apple Store when after several occasions the start-up button lamp flashed once then nothing happened. After some investigation, the technicians reloaded the firmware but on getting it back to the office after about a week I had the same problem. However, I discovered by accident that if I removed the power cord for 30 seconds and plugged it back in it reset the start-up chip and I could start the system which worked for a short while. So, I took it back to the store for technicians to investigate further and they came to the conclusion that this was an issue with the start-up process; to correct the issue the main logic board was replaced as with Apple silicon (like the M1 or M2), this functionality is integrated into the Apple Silicone itself.
I had Apple Care, so the repair process was smooth and covered by Apple Care. So far, the issue has not recurred.

Make absolutely certain the power cord is jammed into the socket on the unit as far as it will go.
Is this Mac on an outlet that gets switched off at night or when not in use?
has this unit been left without AC power available at its inlet for long periods of time?
The power outlet is left on all the time but I will try the lead once home from work thanks
