MacBook keeps dying suddenly and repeatedly

When you are using MacBook Laptop which keeps on dying then your battery isn’t charging properly. If this is not the issue and your MacBook is shutting off randomly inspite of healthy battery percentage, then you’re having some other problem. After shutdown tries to restart your MacBook by using the power button. Once you have powered and loaded Mac OS, restart the computer again. Restarting your MacBook allows itself to conduct a healthy and full shutdown procedure. Fully reset the System Management Controller (SMC) after the Mac is restarted. Your Mac’s SMC controls include one of the most essential hardware processes which include battery charging and sleep mode. Therefore when your Mac doesn’t work properly, a quick and simple method is to fix it and reset the SMC. If SMC is unable to resolve the issue then you must consider a professional MacBook repair. If under warranty consider a replacement for your Mac by taking it to an Apple Store.

Mac’s Start-up displays a blank screen

During start-up, most MacBook Pro screens face the common problem of either a blank black or blue screen. If this screen remains then it’s a sure sign that your MacBook froze while loading a particular app or login function. To resolve this problem, you need to press the power button for several seconds to restart your Mac. If you are unable to try to boot your MacBook in Safe mode. Check and remove troublesome items and login items once the computer restarts. You will see a grey screen that has an Apple logo in its center which means there’s a technical glitch in essential software. We recommend you restart the computer manually and then apply macOS updates which may be needed to see if the problem goes away. If this doesn’t work then use the Disk Utility tool for locating and resolving any disk problems which will keep your computer working properly.

Unable to connect external devices properly

If your Mac is unable to work with an external device then it could be an issue with the device itself. Connect the device with other computers to see whether it works and if it works then the device is okay. Connect the external device to your Mac once again by making sure it’s properly plugged into the right port. Check whether the cable and the port are not damaged in any way. If the device is still not working then try restarting your Mac and the device. Inspite of trying if there are no changes then your external device and Mac aren’t compatible. We recommend you try plugging with some other device into the same port that you’re sure is compatible with your Mac. If your second device also doesn’t work then there is a hardware issue in your Mac that needs to be resolved by a professional. If the second device works then there is a compatibility issue only with the first device and not with your Mac. Then a professional need to have your device checked.

Mac’s FaceTime Camera Image has poor quality

With MacBook Air, one of the most common problems you have is the poor image quality of your FaceTime camera app which is worth not using.

In most cases, the camera works perfectly fine and does other camera-related activities without a technical glitch. In such cases, the issue is with the FaceTime program where you have to apply macOS updates which resolves the issue. If your camera app doesn’t work properly on other apps then it would be a good idea to take your Mac to a professional and get it checked out.

Mac screen Flicker’s repeatedly

It’s annoying to encounter Flickering problems in most Mac problems in which the user’s screen dims intermittently or loses resolution completely. If this issue appears repeatedly and rapidly then one of the top causes behind this problem is physical screen damage. Screen replacement is the perfect solution for this problem. If flickering still happens although your Mac’s screen is fine then try to reset the PRAM/NVRAM. Minor flickering problems can be effectively fixed by this step. Try applying MacOS updates which you haven’t done yet. Screen flickering issues can sometimes be caused due to Firefox or Chromium on your Mac. Fix the problem by trying to disable or remove them.

MacBook Air is overheating

Look for any hidden or unexpected apps: By clicking go on the menu bar, followed by Utilities open the Activity Monitor. This shows the first tab as C, indicating the amount of CPU time and energy each open app uses. Shut down by clicking name if anything strange is using a lot of CPU percentage. Finally, click the Stop button on the top-left corner of the app.

Check the fan: Mac will get hot if the fan isn’t working. If it even spins then listen for the noise. Don’t panic if you are unable to hear if your far is not running at its maximum noisy speed. However, there is a compute-heavy application running like a Steam game in which you are unable to hear a fan then run diagnostics or contact Apple.

Check the vent: On the back of the hinge area is located the vent. Due to its location, there can be a collection of debris and prevent it from proper heat exhaust. By using a can of compressed air you can always clean it out.

Run Apple Diagnostics for newer Air models: Shut down your Mac fully and disconnect all the secondary devices like the external drives. Next by pressing the Power button immediately press and hold the D key. Perform this until the Apple Diagnostics check starts. This will eventually produce a report which will include a progress bar. If any error occurs, read it carefully and what it says, write down any error codes and instructions. Then Click Restart to return to MacOS.

The case or shell must be removed: To allow proper heat dissipation third-party cases and shells typically have vents along the bottom portion. This is unlikely to cause overheating issues, you can also remove it to see if the problem disappears. The specific shell or case may be the culprit and would require a replacement.
