MacBook doesn’t boot! I hear the chime but nothing on the screen!
When I switch my Mac on, I hear the chime and then there’s a dim background light on the screen and it stays that way, so basically the screen stays black! Nothing happens and it doesn’t show anything at ALL!! The only thing I can do is to press and hold the power button for a few sec to switch my Mac off! (*This whole issue happened quite suddenly after a restart!)
Things that I’ve already tried:
- Using all boot key-combinations —> Only SMC reset works which hasn’t resolved the issue! Literally nothing happens with the rest of the combinations!
- Unpluggin and replugging the display cable! —> Didn’t help!
- Using another display with the main display cable unplugged —-> Same dim background light on the secondary display!! Just like its own display! So —> The problem is definitely NOT the MBP’s display!
- Using a bootable storage instead of the hard drive! —-> didn’t work!
- PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS ISSUE GUYS!! I REALLY NEED my laptop!

- Thanks

When you did the SMC reset combo did anything appear?

No, nothing appeared! I just saw a chamge in color of the light on the charging port! Thats how I figured, based on the instructions, that the reset was done successfully!
