MacBook Pro 13" with touchpad bricked after running the Monterey update

After running update to Monterey, my 2018 13" MB Pro prompted that it will restart in 57 sec, I waited, it restarted, but the screen and Touch Bar stayed blank, no lights.


Tried to hold power button for 10 sec, nothing. Trackpad is clicking though.


Any ideas?


Thanks,

Alex

I got a few suggestions as to boot to recovery, etc. The computer would not restart, would not power down (how do I know? because trackpad was still clicking). No other signs of life.


The Solution:

Apple guys from Genius Bar had to refresh/resuscitate firmware.
