On a Intel Mac the best you can do —


Try resetting the SMC Reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support


if no resolve Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)



If this does not straighten it out it typically indicates a hardware issue:

In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"
