• Power on your Mac and launch Terminal.
• Copy and paste the following command (or type it exactly) into Terminal:
• sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00
• Press [return]. If prompted, enter your administrator password and press [return] again. Note: Your return key may also be labeled ⏎ or "enter."
• You can now safely power down your Mac and open the bottom case, without it accidentally powering on.
• When your repair is complete and your Mac is successfully reassembled, re-enable Auto Boot with the following command:
• sudo nvram AutoBoot=%03
