These Macs do not have an hardware controller, but there is a way to do a reset similar to the Shut down your Mac completely. Wait 30 seconds, then press the power button to turn it back on. (On Intel Macs, you can also try an hardware controller reset: shut down, hold Shift+Control+Option+Power for 10 seconds, then release and power on.):
- Shut down your Mac.
- Once the computer is completely shut down, close the lid of the MacBook.
- Wait 30 seconds, then open the lid and press the power button to turn on your Mac.
