2010 Mac 5,1 Not Booting

[totemuzik313]

I just realized I have a weird short in my wall electricity, when I unplug another outlet, the outlet that goes to my 2010 Mac 5,1 goes out. I only did this a time or two where it rebooted my Mac, and now it won't boot at all. It turns on and powers connected USB devices, white light indicator is on, red light on my NVMe drive comes on, but black screen, nothing is fed to the monitor I use. I've tried resetting PRAM and booting into recovery with a bluetooth keyboard and nothing.

HALP!

Hello and welcome.

It could be that the short has caused something to fail.

I would do the following:
-Move it to another room/outlet
-How to reset the SMC of your Mac
-Perform another NVRAM/PRAM reset

See if that helps.

Cool the wired USB keyboard worked! Thx

Excellent...always a good step to use USB instead of Bluetooth keyboard to test, especially for NVRAM resets, as Bluetooth doesn't always sync/connect in time to work.

So it's all set and working normally now?
