MacBook Pro 2019 turns on when I fully close the lid


Hello,
I have a 2019 MacBook Pro that started to turn back on when I close the lid. It turns black and then shortly after it turns back on. I can see it illuminated and when I open the lid it turns black. I've been letting it sit the the lid open once it turns black so it will not over heat. Can anyone help me solve what could be causing this issue? Thank you!



I have tried the SMC Rest 3 or 4 times.


I have tried the PR rest holding the control, option, shift and power buttons.


I have checked my sleep settings.

checked system settings for apps that might wake the laptop


None of those solutions solved the problem.


Does anyone have a solution??




MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.0

If you close the lid how then do you see it turn back on...(?)


Opening the lid either wakes it from sleep or it will boot the Mac.

if the sleep /wake switch has gone bad— take it in for a hardware issue:
