I have a MacBook Pro and the screen went black and now I can’t turn it on. I tried the suggested
shift+control+option+power
suggested online. But it didn’t work. The only thing illuminated is the esc on the touch bar in the upper left corner. Im wondering if it might be the screen but I hooked it up to my flatscreen using an HDMI cable and it seems like it connects but the screen is black. Any idea what happened or other suggestions?

The sequence you are quoting is for an older MacBook Pro. Use this article, and follow the instructions (especially which side of the keyboard) religiously, because the keys on the other side are not "wired in" and won't do the job.
