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
Hey there alexrazd,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We see you came to us from an article about what to do if your Mac will not turn on but if the Trackpad is clicking, it may be coming on with a black screen. In this case, the steps here can help:

Take care.

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.
Thank you everybody for trying to help.
