For reference...

Troubleshooting Mac Power:


I. Troubleshooting a Mac Beep:

Replace the charging cable that goes to the charging block. That should fix the beep. See here: Why does my macbook pro beep when charging - Apple Community


and...


II. Troublehooting Mac Charging:

A. Black Mac Screen:

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

Using External Devices: Try Resetting the SMC and NVRAM, but this time, using an external keyboard. Connect an external monitor and see if you get an output.


B. Mac Power Issues:

Try a New Charger:

If it is currently charging from a charger, then use a new charger:

Check Force Quit:

See if any applications are open. If that is the case, save what need be (if possible), and then Force Quit them one at a time.

  1. Go To: Apple Menu
  2. Select: Force Quit...
  3. Select: An Item Ending in: “Not Responding
  4. Click: Force Quit button
