I have a 2014 Macbook Pro 13" Retina that I have installed the new Big Sur OS, I did make sure there was enough space to install beforehand which there was.
I now have a mac that is powered up (apple logo on lid is lit up) but the screen is black and I have no idea what to do?
I don't know of it is still installing the OS or if its locked or something else. I set off the install and just left the laptop to do it's thing
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello! I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro, I had the same problem while installing Big Sur (black screen). I did some research and on Apple help website it suggest to first hold down power to force shut down, then to hold power button again for 10 seconds. After 2-3 attempts, I got the password screen and installation of Big Sur has finished it’s process. The only problem seems that now, if I turn off my computer I have to do the same trick because It gave me a black screen when I tried to start. So as I rely on this MacBook Pro to work from home, I just never power off, just sleep mode.
here is the page I found to resolve temporary my problem: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210905
thanks ProfWasteland! I'll likely doing the same!
I have the same issue - MacBook 2015, upgraded to Big Sur, black screen after that. No Apple Support says I am out of warrenty - clearly Big Sur Upgrade fault! *gr*
Is someone tested Mac OS Big Sur Update 11.1? Does it resolve this problem? Thanks
i would but HOW? My MacBook is dead! Black Screen, Shift and all combinations don’t work.
Apples strategy to make us by their new Chip?
You did not say which version of Big Sur you used.
For older MacBooks it should only be 11.1, not 11.01.

You can go back to Mojave, IF you have a backup of your computer.

You have an important deadline for work and you decided to do the biggest macos upgrade in 20 years? Sorry, that's your fault.
Car analogies do not help and they never have. If you can't make your case without an analogy, you need to work on your communication skills. You're not helping anybody here.

Well stated :)

Apple has responded to the issues run into by MacBook Pro 2013–2014 systems.
Seems like your LCD burned out, or your GPU did, or your install is corrupted, try recovery mode and reinstalling big sur
