woyagaretsu Recently while I was using my 2018 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar I placed my MacBook in Sleep and went outside for a few minutes. When I came back I noticed that upon pressing keys the screen won’t turn on, while the Touch Bar would only show the button for the escape key. I could press the caps lock button and its light would turn on and off, but I was unable to do anything else. I was getting MacBook Pro black screen at startup without any explanation.

woyagaretsu I tried force rebooting my MacBook by long pressing the power button (it’s the Touch Bar button for those who don’t know) but the problem persisted. Rebooting didn’t help and the MacBook will start with a black screen with only esc key showing on the Touch Bar.

woyagaretsu After a few minutes of trying different solutions and fruitlessly looking online my MacBook Pro still wouldn’t turn on, however I was finally able to solve the issue by resetting my MacBook Pro’s NVRAM. While resetting NVRAM is a common solution to many Mac problems, it is not something many people know about. So if you are not having this issue right now, it is still worth learning how to do it in case you ever need it.
