Macbook pro Black screen

Yes, this can happen due to a range of issues - usually related to display drivers, broken disk permissions, software error, T2 chip glitches or hardware faults. Try the following in order:

1. Force Shut Down & Restart Hold the power button for ~10 seconds. Wait a few seconds then press it again. Sometimes it's just a system hang.

2. Reset NVRAM/PRAM Power on and immediately hold Option + Command + P + R for about 20 seconds. It resets display/resolution settings which may be causing the black screen.

3. Reset SMC (for Intel-based Macs) Shut down > hold Shift + Control + Option (left side) + Power for 10 seconds > release > turn it on.

4. Boot into Safe Mode Power on and hold Shift immediately. If the screen shows up here, it’s likely a third-party kernel extension or login item causing the issue.

5. External Display Check If nothing works, connect to an external monitor. If it displays fine, your Mac’s internal display backlight or cable could be the issue.

If it's an M1/M2 Mac and nothing helps, try booting into recovery (hold Power until "Loading Options" appears) or take it straight to Apple Support - it could be a logic board or display failure.
