How do you hard reboot my MacBook without a power button?
You can restart from terminal:
Restart computers using Terminal on Mac – Apple Support
Please see this guide on how to restart your Mac from menu bar:
Shut down or restart your Mac – Apple Support
Maybe MacOS Keyboard Shortcuts can help you, if you want to use your power button, e. g.
Power button: Press to turn on your Mac or wake it from sleep. Press and hold for 1.5 seconds to put your Mac to sleep.* Continue holding to force your Mac to turn off.
Control-Command-Power button:* Force your Mac to restart, without prompting to save any open and unsaved documents.
Every Mac has a power button. On portable Macs with a Touch ID button, press and hold that button until the Mac shuts down. That takes about ten seconds.
Then, start it again in the usual manner.
