"MacBook Pro. On startup Apple Logo does not show: On power up of 2015 MacBook Pro Apple Logo does not show nor horizontal progress loading bar. Have a black screen"

-------


Black Mac Screen Upon Boot:


Disconnect External Display:

If you have an external display connected, then you may be using your Mac as an extended display. So, unplug it.


Reinstall the macOS:

Nothing would be lost. It's just that misplaced items would be placed back to where they should be and corrupt system files would be replaced by clean files. Go Here: Reinstall macOS - Apple Support. Use the third bulleted method: [command + r]. To prevent data loss, be sure to back up your Mac with Time Machine, prior to the reinstall.

Problem arose after FaceTime session. No external device was used. Computer not active so do not have WiFi or connection to internet. Keyboard is lit, but screen black. Because of above, solution must lie in a combination of key clicks. Or computer is dead. More suggestions please.

Mirror the Screen to this External Display:

Performing the following will mirror the Home Screen, and allow you to use it as if it were you laptop's screen.

  • Without Touchbar: Hold Down [command + F1]
  • With Touchbar: Hold Down: [command + dull screen]


Close Non-Responding Programs:

  1. Go To: Finder Menu > Force Quit... > Select an Item that is listed as "Not Responding"
