There's several types of screens that may appear; when the Mac fails to fully startup.

These may have actionable meaning; and can be blank, black, white; among others.

If your Mac seems to be turned on but nothing appears on your display, 

determine whether you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, then follow

the appropriate steps; to determine next course of action.

(See either Apple silicon -&/or- Intel-based Mac instructions next.)

Other things to try include Safe mode on startup, instructions vary

depending the build version of Mac, and version of hardware, etc.
