Try a USB keyboard, any model designed for Mac will usually work, and some PC keyboards will too.

You can also do it from Terminal, not clear if you can boot and get to terminal.

reset PRAM

The M1 doesn’t have PRAM or SMC reset. It works similar like the iPhone and iPad.

In my experience, I tried the “nvram -c” in Recovery mode on my M1 MacBook Pro, restarted the machine, and was booted back into recovery with a real scary error message that said something to the effect of “this copy of macOS is damaged and needs to be reinstalled.” I ignored that and restarted again and everything is fine now going on two weeks since. It did seem to at least wipe the remembered WiFi networks from Recovery, so I imagine the command does work to at least some extent. If you’re brave you can try and see if it fixes your issue :-)

I did not read the whole thing, but this article seems to say there is no NVRAM reset on M1 Macs: https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/reset-nvram-mac-3801373/

Could try use other charger and cable.

If there are nearby Apple store could bring it there.

I have the same model and same issue recently despite two different chargers and overnight charging and yeah the reset thing. Gave up an brought it to a repair place. The repair place removed it the backplate and let it “drain” overnight. They got it booting again. Don’t know if that was a ruse or legit fix.

Be sure to try two different chargers because they can go bad. I had to replace the charger brick about four years ago.

Also I replaced the battery last year when the same thing happened.

Good luck!

I believe you just leave your MagSafe or USB-C charger plugged in, shut down, and power back on

You could try the nvram command from terminal

man nvram

Dangerous though you could try deleting items one at a time to see if they helps.

Maybe worth ask here about why you think you need to do this...

Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac

How to reinstall macOS

This is r/applehelp, not r/appleunhelpful.

Reinstall Monterey- agree to terms and continue. 

Maca are actually easier to walk people through compared to PCs; sending it back would honestly be harder.

They did reset it, just didn’t reinstall macOS.

Click Disk Utility, then click View in the menu bar and select View Devices.

Then find the Apple SSD in the very top of the list on the side bar in Disk Utility.

Click “Erase” and choose options “APFS” and “GUID Partition Map.” When it’s done, click “Disk Utility” in the menu bar, then quit the app. You’ll end up back on the screen in your picture.

Then click “Reinstall macOS Monterey.” Accept the Terms and Conditions, then click the next button, click the disk you just erased, and start installing macOS.

When it’s done, macOS will be ready to setup brand new.

Touchbar still has a Power Button = https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201150

The fingerprint reader IS the power button. Press it and you will feel it depress slightly.

The TouchID sensor is a physical button that acts as the power button if you press it. Maybe you weren't pushing hard enough?

Download and run the maintenance tasks of software called ONYX. It’s free and I run it once a month on all machines

Keep the internal SSD less than half full

I don’t think these really speed up an M series processor, but they used to help with Intel. I got into the habit of using them and just carried on with the M series as well. Some actually help, others just make the mac feel faster:

• Setting the dock appearance to 0 seconds. Doesn’t actually speed anything up, but it gets rid of that annoying delay.
• Limiting Spotlight indexing
• Reducing motion and transparency of OS

There are probably a few more tricks, but these are just the ones I remember off the top of my head

If you do.. plug in the USB(installer), hold option at startup and click EFI boot... it shuts down computer.. then start it up again and back to 100%! Whew.
