3 MacBook turns on after 10mn
Hi, I have an isssue with my macbook Air.
It never fell, never got anything spilled on it, it’s been taken care of with outmost care. I’ve been using it daily since 2015 and it never failed me.
- macOS Mojave
- Battery still running good
Now, it’s been a few months since I’ve been encountering this issue.
My macbook won’t turn on directly when I press the power button. I’ll hear the fan running but the screen remains black. Not pitch black as if the computer was completely shut down but black as in the computer is definitely getting some energy.
The weird thing is that if after I pressed the power button, I leave it, it’ll turn on finally after 8-10mn directly on the authentication screen (No loader bar). The same thing is if close the lid after using it a bit, after an hour or so (I guess when it goes on sleep) it won’t wake up. It’ll be shutdown.
What I tried :
- Reset of the PRAM/NVRAM
- Reset of SMC
- Change of battery
- Reset of the SSD and new install of OS.
- Opened it and cleaned the fan
When it’s finally turned on, I try multiple stuff like check of permissions and check of the SSD. Tried changing the parameters of the sleep pattern.
When it’s turned on, it works perfectly and if I shut it down and restart it right after, it also work perfectly.
I’m trying to look for solutions for now as if I take it to an Apple store, I’m sure they’ll charge me a lot for replacing the logic board or some other things and it’s not under warranty anymore so I’d rather buy a new one.
Thank you :)

Most likely your battery needs replacing or the charging logic needs repair. How about checking it using this gem of an app: CoconutBattery and post a snapshot of the main window here for us to see Aggiungere immagini ad una domanda

Hi Dan
First, thank you for taking the time to answer.
I also thought it could be a battery issue because if the mac is not charged enough, It'll take more than 10mn to turn on. that's why I changed it, and when I did, it turned on right after I pressed the power button (So I thought, I'm saved but no..) a few hours later, when the lid was closed and I opened it, I still encountered the same issue. But as soon as I get home, I'll try using the app and post the snapshot.
By the way, I'm not encountering issues with the charging.

Here's the snapshot of CoconutBattery. By the way, I'm currently using my old battery. I figured since the new one didn't change anything I put back the old one.
