My MacBook Pro 13 inch M2 chip just stopped working. It was fine and I was streaming a show before I put the laptop to sleep. After a few hours, I tried to use my laptop but it wouldn’t even switch on yet the fans were on. The noise of the fans didn’t even die down and would still make noise even if the the laptop is closed. Tried a few general solutions online such as SMC and PRAM reset, held the Touch ID button and so on. The noise does stop for a few seconds when holding the Touch ID button but then continues again. After these, the Mac no longer makes noise when the screen is down and but the moment I put the screen up the noise is back and the fan is on.

I tried charging it and the charging sound indicates that the laptop is charging. However, the laptop makes noise even if the screen is down whilst charging.

I also recently updated to macOS 14 Sonoma which could be the cause.

Please advise me on possible solutions. I would greatly appreciate it.

    Do you have access to an external display? It sounds like the display isnt going active for some reason and seeing if it would light up a external display can narrow it down.
