How to Auto Restart a 2010 MacBook Pro/High Sierra after Power Failure I wonder how to make a 2010 Macbook Pro with High Sierra (10.13.6) restart when power adapter is plugged in.
"Energy Saver" panel shows no "Start up automatically after a power failure".
sudo pmset -a acwake 1 doesn’t work. I tried a NVRAM reset.
sudo nvram AutoBoot=%03 doesn’t work. pmset -g capshows that autorestartis not an option.
I use the MBP as a music streamer (iTunes, Bit Perfect, "Remote" App on the iPhone, optical output). Battery is disconnected. I want the MBP to turn on if power is switched on by the amp - without touching the MBP.
Anyone any Idea? -Martin
Try doing that in the boot sector.

Use Restore > Disk Utility > Terminal
