Troubleshooting
MacBook Air won't turn on or respond.
Ensure the device is connected to a working power outlet using the included power adapter. If it still doesn't turn on, try a different outlet or USB-C port for charging. A force restart (hold down the power button for about 10 seconds) may also resolve the issue.
Battery drains faster than expected.
Check battery usage in `System Settings > Battery` to identify power-hungry apps. Close unnecessary applications, reduce screen brightness, and ensure macOS is updated to the latest version. Disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in use.
Wi-Fi connection is slow or drops frequently.
Restart your Wi-Fi router and your MacBook Air. Go to `System Settings > Wi-Fi` and try forgetting your network, then reconnecting. Ensure there are no major obstructions between your Mac and the router. For Wi-Fi 6E, ensure your router supports it.
Applications are freezing or crashing.
Force quit the unresponsive application by pressing `Option + Command + Esc`, then select the app and click 'Force Quit'. Ensure macOS and all your applications are up to date. If the issue persists, try restarting your MacBook Air.
Display is not showing any image.
Check that the MacBook Air is powered on and not in sleep mode. Increase screen brightness using the function keys. If an external display is connected, try disconnecting it to see if the internal display activates. If possible, connect an external display to check if the issue is with the internal screen.
