Thanks for that! I'd try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) and see if it helps: How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support (CA)

One of the simplest things your Mac can do is start up in Startup Assistant.
Hold Option at startup, and it should draw a gray screen, then over the course fo several minutes, it will try to discover if any drives are attached that are bootable, and add an icon for each one. This code is all in ROM, so your drive can be in almost any state and you will get the gray screen.
Hi Jamesfr9,
What year was your MacBook Pro made in? This determines what should be done next.
Sorry I should of said, it’s a old one, mid 2010.
Thank you for that, but I’m afraid still no joy. 😒
I have now booked it in to apple
on Tuesday. See if they can get it going again.
Many thanks
