Hi everyone, looking for some insight before I head to the Genius Bar. My M2 Pro MBP suddenly stopped working immediately after a standard restart attempt and I’m worried it’s completely dead.

​Specs:

​MacBook Pro 14-inch (M2 Pro, 10-core CPU, 16-core GPU)

​16GB RAM / 512GB SSD

​The Problem:

​The screen is completely black.

​No startup chime or fan noise.

​What I’ve tried:

​Power Cycle: Held the power button for 15, 30 sec. No response.

​Charging: MagSafe light is awas orange then steady Green, which indicates it's charging.

Any suggestions?

I have recently been struggling to download apps because my mac is running such an old OS. I'd like to also upgrade my chrome browser and I can't because my OS is so old. However, my MacBook has a "Condition: Replace Soon" notice on the battery and typically runs a little slow anyways. I'm concerned updating it might completely brick it. What do you guys think? Will updating it brick it, make it so slow it's unusable, or be totally fine (allowing me to use more apps)?

TIA!

Possuo um macbook M1, mas a tela est´sem funcionar, e uso com um hub usb-c para espellhar na tela. Além que o Shift do lado esquerdo não está funcionando. No entanto, eu sou advogado, e faço um pouco de programação nada (nada pesado). Porém, não sei se devo trocar a tela e teclado, ou se troco de vez o macbook, e compro outro. Além que vendo esse do jeito que está.

Mas queria saber, para o meu uso, qual macbook seria bom?

I've got a a MacBook Air (2019, 13" Retina) as a sparely used backup notebook with only 32 charging cycles. According to the macOS systems dialog the battery is in "Good" condition.

However, the notebook looses around 8% of battery capacity every single day, even when the system is completely shut down (none of the connected standby stuff).

How's that possible? All prior MacBooks I've used in the past had excellent battery life and would work even after weeks of just sitting turned off in a drawer.
