If you’re having trouble getting your iMac to turn on and it won’t turn on, don’t panic. There are a few simple steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue and get your iMac up and running again.
Check the Power Cord and Outlet
First, make sure that the power cord is securely plugged into the back of the iMac and into a working outlet. If the iMac still won’t turn on, try unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in after a few minutes. This can sometimes reset the iMac’s power supply and get it to turn on.
Unplug Other Cables and Devices
Next, try unplugging any other cables or devices that are connected to the iMac, such as external hard drives or monitors. This can sometimes resolve issues with the iMac’s power supply.
Reset the SMC
If the iMac still won’t turn on, you may need to try resetting the SMC (System Management Controller). To do this, shut down the iMac and unplug the power cord. Wait at least 15 seconds, then press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds. Plug the power cord back in and turn the iMac on.
