TOP 5 reasons for MacBook breakdowns, and what to do

The reliability of Mac computers is one of the main reasons why people choose them. What to do in this case? Should you immediately take your laptop to a service center, call a technician at home, or try to solve the problem yourself? There is no single answer. But we have listed below a number of common problems, some of which you can solve yourself.

1. Overheating

The most common problem with Apple laptops is overheating. Overheating can be caused not only by the increased load on the hardware (the simultaneous launch of many gluttonous programs, editing video in 4K or launching the latest games), but also banal weather conditions. If you are working in hot weather and your Mac is in direct sunlight, it could overheat. This is nothing special. Any laptop can overheat from the sun.

Intervention will be required when the MacBook starts to overheat by itself or overheats significantly faster than before. In this case, it is definitely worth taking the computer to a service center or calling a wizard at home to carry out a professional cleaning.

Not every user knows that a laptop should be cleaned regularly. Meanwhile, if you neglect cleaning, your MacBook can not only constantly overheat, but one day it can burn out.

You shouldn't do the cleaning yourself if you don't understand it.

2. Liquid spill

The second most popular reason for the breakdown of a MacBook is the banal spill of tea / coffee / water on the keyboard. MacBook is not equipped with even the most minimal protection against water. And if you spill even a little water, your computer may be damaged. Drying with a hairdryer will not help; the computer will have to be handed over for repair, since a flooded keyboard cannot be repaired. It can only be replaced.

3. Broken trackpad

MacBooks are pretty hard to break. However, if you dropped the glass, and it landed on the trackpad with an edge, then most likely your computer will at least lose its presentation, and as a maximum, you simply will not be able to use the trackpad, and the Maxbook will have to be carried for repairs.

4. Faulty button on the touchpad

This problem comes in different forms. The button can work, but not click due to the loosening of the adjusting screw. In this case, disassemble the MacBook and tighten the corresponding screw.

In some cases, the button may sink or not be pressed due to food moisture or dirt getting into the slot. In this case, the laptop should be disassembled and cleaned.

5. MacBook won't charge

One of the most common problems faced by MacBook owners. There may be several reasons for this malfunction. Often there is dirt or small foreign objects in a connector or connector. In this case, the problem is solved in an elementary way. Just clean the connectors. Alcohol and cotton swabs to help you.

Also, your power supply unit (charging), or an outlet, could break. You can check this by connecting the device to a different outlet.
