Macbook pro 14", Apple M2 pro. MacOS 15+. black screen continuously even after SMC reset

Macbook pro 13", black screen but after SMC reset and wait a few hours, it will show the display after restarting. but reoccurs often. like 5 times today, which is the first time this happened, and each time it took longer to show the display. also when restarting I can see the blur of the apple logo but after log in (even tough i can't see the login, i just type in the password), nothing is shown. but everything works, i can give commands to siri to do things, apps also work, keyboard, touchpad everything works, and also the files aren't corrupted. I'm doing a backup at the moment just in case. it will happen again and I don't know the reason. some have mentioned the SMC is corrupted. also I have to mention my battery health is 95% and fully chargers. at the moment i do not have charging adapter connected. So i want to get a rough idea on what is wrong with this. so I can look up on the prices to repair or replace parts. appleCare expired 2 months ago. just my bad luck. anyway any help is appreciated

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.3

On the M-series Mac (?)


there is No SMC or NVRAM on the M1/M2/M3/M4 SoC.

The best you can do if you have an issue— equivalent Shut down, close the lid 30 secs+ , reboot as normal.

If no resolve try SafeBoot to sort anomalies Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support
