power up
Turn it on
Power up means to turn on or activate, especially electronic devices or machines: Power up the computer and let's get started.
In video games, a power-up is an item that temporarily enhances a character's abilities—extra speed, invincibility, or stronger attacks.
The phrase extends figuratively to energizing or preparing oneself: I need coffee to power up in the morning.
