Users report encountering MacBook black screen issues quite often, since Apple’s devices are largely considered the most reliable on the market. Once your MacBook Pro screen blacks out there’s only so much you can do to diagnose the problem and implement possible solutions. Follow this complete list of steps you should take to repair your device if the Mac screen keeps going black.
Method 1: Wakup Mac or Force to Shutdown
If you can increase or decrease birghtness but the screen is still black, you can try to sleep your Mac and wake it up. If it doesn't help, one of the methods that works for fixing many tech issues is giving your device a full restart, which resets the operating system, clearing any temporary files that might be causing the problem on startup. Here are shortcuts for you:
Bring up dialog: Control+Power
Sleep Mac: Option+Command+Power
Force to restart: Hold Power button
Method 2: Reset SMC
The Systems Management Controller, or SMC, is a Mac feature for managing things like temperature, keyboard, display, fans, and other processes. Resetting SMC can help resolve some issues like Mac not starting up, not displaying video, or if your Mac screen keeps going black. Key Combiniations to reset SMC:
Mac computers with Apple silicon: Restart or shutdown
Laptop computer with the T2 chip:
•Control on the left side of your keyboard
•Option (Alt) on the left side of your keyboard
•Shift on the right side of your keyboard
•Power button
Laptop computer without the T2 chip:
•Shift on the left side of your keyboard
•Control on the left side of your keyboard
•Option (Alt) on the left side of your keyboard
•Power button
Method 3: Reset NVRAM or PRAM
NVRAM (nonvolatile random-access memory) and PRAM (Parameter RAM) are both small memory partitions that store Mac settings like volume control and display resolution to be able to access them quickly. If one or both of these memory partitions gets “stuck,” the MacBook screen goes black but still running. At this point a reset will help.
Keys to reset NVRAM or PRAM on Intel-based Mac: Option+Command+P+R
Method 4: Boot Mac in Safe Mode
Starting up your Mac in Safe Mode can help identify whether issues you're experiencing are caused by software that loads as your Mac starts up. Safe Mode allows you to power on your Mac while preventing non-essential apps and login items from booting up.
How to boot Mac with Apple silicon in safe mode:
1. Shut down your Mac.
2. Press and hold the power button on your Mac until “Loading startup options” appears.
3. Select the Voume and hold Shif key, click Continue in Safe Mode.
How to boot Intel-based Mac in safe mode:
1. Restart, press and hold the Shift key until you see the login window.
2. Enter login password.
Method 5: Reinstall macOS
If all else fails, you can give your Mac a new life with a fresh reinstall of macOS, which can help get rid of corrupt files or bugs present in the previous version. This process will require you to boot into recovery mode and choose a macOS version during the reinstallation process. Here are keys to boot Mac in Recovery mode:
Mac with Apple silicon: Hold Power button until you see the startup options screen
Intel-based Mac: Command+R

It worked for about 10 minutes, then I saw about seven vertical lines at the bottom of my screen then my screen went black again. When I turned my computer off and then on again, the Apple icon comes up and the status bar begins to load then it goes blank. Now none of the options you mentioned are working.

Thanks a lot it worked ❤, if you guys have a problem on the video I think it’s because you need to plug the usb into the keyboard to make sure the commands work properly. I did the VRAM & PRAM (method 3) and everything worked normally again even the sound of booting tuning on before i was turned it off.
