MacBook
Auto Shut Down

If your MacBook is auto-shutting down, there can be several reasons for this issue. Here are some solutions to try:

1. Check for software updates: Make sure your MacBook is running the latest version of macOS. Go to the Apple menu, select System Preferences, and then click Software Update. If an update is available, download and install it.
   
   

2. Check for overheating: Overheating can cause your MacBook to shut down automatically. Check if your MacBook is overheating by feeling the bottom and top surfaces for warmth or listening to the fans. If you suspect overheating, try using your MacBook on a flat surface or get a cooling pad to help dissipate heat.
   
   

3. Reset the System Management Controller (SMC): The SMC is a system on your MacBook that controls power management, thermal management, and other system-level functions. A reset of the SMC can sometimes fix the issue of an auto-shutdown MacBook. Here’s how to reset the SMC:

   • Shut down your MacBook.
   • Press and hold the Shift + Control + Option keys on the left side of the keyboard and then press the power button at the same time.
   • Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
   • Press the power button again to turn on your MacBook.
     
     

4. Run Apple Diagnostics: Apple Diagnostics is a built-in tool on your MacBook that can help diagnose hardware issues. To run Apple Diagnostics, follow these steps:

   • Shut down your MacBook.
   • Press the power button and then immediately press and hold the D key.
   • Keep holding the D key until Apple Diagnostics starts.
   • Follow the on-screen instructions to diagnose your MacBook.
     
     

If none of the above solutions work, you may need to take your MacBook to Esmond Service Centre or contact Apple Support for further assistance.
