MacBook won’t turn on after updating to Monterey 12.4

by pekoms . Updated 3 years, 9 months ago

Hey everyone, I recently updated my MacBook (2016-17) to the new Monterey system. Whilst in the restart, my Mac turned off, I waited for it to turn back on and continue the update, but it never did. I’m currently stuck with a macbook that won’t turn on, I have tried to reset pram/nvram, restart smc, and tried to start it up in safe mode but nothing happens. Essentially when I press the power button I hear a zip kinda noise every 8 or so seconds, but the screen is totally black and doesn’t change. Anyone else had this problem? (Or know of any solutions?) I have tried contacting apple support but as expected, they told me to go into their stores which I believe will inevitably lead to them telling me that they’ll need to replace parts and it will cost me a fortune so it’s better to just get a new MacBook since the warranty expired last year.

Thanks!
