Hi Sune,

I would advise you first to try resetting the SMC (System Management Controller), as this may likely be causing the issue.

for more details, refer to this link for instructions.

Did your system have a bang or drop, or get wet somehow? I’ve seen a few systems which reacted similar to your symptoms but the system would turn on and then shutdown on its own due to a bad battery. But you state screen was black which is different.
