Hello JayaSharma,


It sounds like you can hear your MacBook Pro start up, but you do not see anything on the screen. I definitely understand your concern with this.


I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with displays. This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to an external display. I recommend reviewing the full article, but this step specifically stands out to me:


Reset the system

You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
