The non-functioning iMac Pro can be frustrating and concerning. There may be problems with the power supply and connected peripherals, software and hardware conflicts, or system crashes. The iMac Pro can sometimes appear completely unresponsive, and empty of any signs of life.
iMac Repair Dubai is your go to expert on iMac Pro startup issues. With us, you will find step by step instructions on troubleshooting iMac Pro issues.
Step 1: Check the Power Connection
Before moving to advanced fixes, make sure your iMac Pro is powered on.
Inspecting the Power Supply:
- Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the iMac and the power outlet.
- Try a different energy source to rule out a defective connection.
- If using a power strip or surge protector, plug the iMac directly into the wall.
If your iMac Pro still does not turn on, move to the next step.
Step 2: Check for Signs of Power
Even if the screen is black, the iMac might be getting power.
Look for These Signs:
- Fan noise or slight vibration when pressing the power button.
- Keyboard backlight or Caps Lock light turning on.
- Startup ring or screen blink.
If none of these signs appear, your iMac may have a deeper power issue. Try resetting the SMC in the next step.
Step 3: Restore the SMC (System Management Controller) Settings
The SMC controls power-related functions, and restarting it can fix startup problems.
How to Reset SMC on iMac Pro:
- Reconnect the power cord from your iMac Pro.
- Please wait for 15 seconds and connect it back in.
- Please wait for 5 more seconds, then press the power button to turn it on.
If this does not work, try resetting PRAM/NVRAM.
Step 4: Reset PRAM/NVRAM
PRAN/NVRAM stores system settings like volume, screen brightness, and startup choice.
How to Reset PRAM/NVRAM:
- Turn off your iMac Pro (if it is on).
- Press and hold the Option + Command + P + R keys.
- While holding the keys, press the power button.
- Keep holding the keys for 20 seconds until the iMac restarts.
If the iMac Pro still does not turn on, try rebooting into Safe Mode.
Step 5: Boot in Safe Mode
Safe Mode can help fix software-related startup issues.
Booting iMac Pro into Safe Mode:
- Turn off the iMac Pro completely.
- Press the Power button, then immediately hold Shift.
- Release Shift when the Apple logo appears.
- If your iMac boots in safe mode, restart it normally to see if the problem is fixed.
If Safe Mode does not work, the macOS system might be defective, and you will need to reinstall macOS.
Step 6: Reinstall macOS Using macOS Recovery
If your iMac Pro still would not turn on, macOS may need to be reinstalled.
How to Reinstall macOS:
- Turn off your iMac Pro
- Activate into macOS Recovery Mode:
- Press Command + R while turning on the iMac.
- Release the keys when the Apple logo or a rotating globe appears.
- Choose Reinstall macOS and follow the on-screen instructions.
Reinstalling macOS would not delete your files, but it is always good to have a backup.
Step 7: Check for Hardware Issues
If none of the above methods work, your iMac Pro may have a hardware issue, such as:
- DA faulty power supply unit (PSU)
- Logic board issues
- Damaged RAM or SSD
At this point, it is best to contact iMac Repair Dubai for a professional diagnosis and repair.
