If your Mac does not have a power button, don’t worry, there are still ways to turn on the screen and start using your device. The process may vary depending on the model you have, so I will provide instructions for a few different scenarios.
1. MacBook with a Touch ID Sensor:
On newer MacBooks, the power button has been integrated into the Touch ID sensor, which is located at the upper-rightmost corner of the keyboard. To turn on your Mac, simply press and hold the Touch ID sensor until the screen lights up. This should power on your device and bring you to the login screen.
2. MacBook with a Touch Bar:
If your MacBook has a Touch Bar, you won’t find a physical power button. Instead, the Touch ID sensor (located at the right side of the Touch Bar) functions as the power button as well. Press and hold the Touch ID sensor to turn on your Mac and access the login screen.
3. iMac or Mac Mini:
For desktop Macs like the iMac or Mac Mini, the power button is typically located at the back of the device. It is a round button labeled with the power symbol (a circle with a line through the top). Press and hold this button for a few seconds until the screen powers on.
4. Mac Pro:
On a Mac Pro, the power button is usually located on the front panel. It is a circular button labeled with the power symbol. Press and hold the button until the screen turns on.
5. MacBook with a physical power button:
If you have an older MacBook model with a physical power button, you can simply press and hold it until the screen lights up. The power button is usually located at the top-right corner of the keyboard, above the delete key.
It’s worth noting that in some cases, a Mac may not turn on even if you press the power button or Touch ID sensor. If you encounter this issue, it could indicate a deeper problem with your device, such as a faulty power supply or battery. In such cases, it is recommended to contact Apple Support or visit an authorized service provider for further assistance.
The process of turning on your Mac without a power button may vary depending on the model you have. If you have a MacBook with a Touch ID sensor or a Touch Bar, press and hold the Touch ID sensor. For iMacs, Mac Minis, and Mac Pros, locate and press the physical power button. And if you have an older MacBook with a physical power button, press and hold it to turn on the screen.
