Macbook had black and white stripes and shut down, won’t restart

Screen went like this with the stripes for about 20secs, and shut down. Won’t restart no matter what I do.

I did fall on my laptop 5 days ago which I think slightly dented a corner but was working fine otherwise. 2015 MacBook Air

MacBook Pro 15" 2017 won't restart The other day I put my MacBook Pro (bought summer 2017) with touch bar, to charge while in sleep mode. When I picked it up, screen was black. Computer wouldn't restart after turning it off. Now went restart, it stays black, even when pressing shift+control+option+command+power button for 10 seconds. HOWEVER, the escape light on the touch bar lights up. Please help. Thanks! Stay safe. -Brian

MacBook Air shuts down My MacBook Air 2015 displays a collection of tiny coloured rectangles on a black screen on startup, then shuts down. Maybe an hour or so later I can get the same result on a startup. This has deteriorated over the last week. It started with shutting itself down while sleeping and being difficult to start to this situation. I have tried the various resets, Vram and Pram with no apparent effect. Did take the machine into a local Mac shop which ran a diagnosis on it which showed a weak battery which was already known. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

Definitely looks like a hardware issue. You will need to have Apple or an AASP examine the laptop and provide you a quote for the repair.
