Troubleshooting a Black Mac Screen:


A. Go Here: If your Mac doesn't Turn On or Start Up - Apple Support


B. Reset the SMC and NVRAM:

(Applies to Intel-Only Macs): Sometimes changes(i.e. formats) are made to the system and then settings (i.e. for Keyboard) become manipulated, technically.  So, reset both on your Mac. Perhaps the keyboard's settings for it keys are mingled. It might take upto three tries to reset both. So, be certain you have the time to do so.

but this time, using an external keyboard.


C. External Monitor:

Connect an external monitor and see if you get an output.
