Model?

Cute selfie btw

Could reset SMC and NVRAM.

Connect to charger before reset SMC. If first reset doesn't fixed better reset few times.

Hard to tell from the photo. Do you get a green/orange light on the charger when you connect it?

So I tried clicking the trackpad and it wasn’t doing anything indicating that the MacBook isn’t on. So I read that it’s likely a logic board issue. I looked for any signs of corrosion on the board and the only sign of it was here on the charging port. My question is: is this corrosion and would this cause my MacBook to not turn on at all?

If it was Intel MacBook could reset SMC. Can't reset SMC for MacBook M chip.

Check first does it has T2 chip or not.

That’s probably for the best, no? Imagine being turned on by your MacBook, how would you get any work done?

Macbook has some nice features but I say f 'em. I don't remember neither once having so much pain in the ass with Windows. I regret buying that overrated piece of shhh.

Is “Liquid Retina” or “Milled Aluminum” not hitting the right buttons?

Maybe some role play would help spice things up and help get you turned on?

I’ll be an unstressed office worker and you be a fully functioning laptop computer. Oh yeah, that’s so hot.

Could test with other charger and cable.

If nearby Apple store available could take it there. The staff willlng test it with other charger and cable.

Could try use other charger and cable.

If there are nearby Apple store could bring it there. Apple staff would do free test for you.

Year and size?

have you figured it out

Are you with the one year warranty window or do you have AppleCare?

It could be that the Mac recognizes the charger but the battery isn’t actually charging.

Battery probably needs a replacement. Bring it to an Apple Store and let them run a test

Have you tried connecting it to a tv or monitor to see if it’s just the screen that’s broken?

Is the battery OK? Sometimes Macs will not work properly if the battery is DOA, even if they are plugged in.

OP, you must have a working computer/phone to ask your question here. I googled this: 'MacBook pro screen stuck at dim' and the AI gave me ten good suggestions that I could cut-and-paste here, and a long list of links to this very common issue.

Maybe do that.

Have you tried not using Mac

Try running diagnostics on it, after you press the power button you should immediately press D, if the Mac isn’t gone for good you should see the diagnostic screen which will run a test and give you a reference code for the problems it detects alongside a short description of the issue. Other than that, a visit to the Apple store or an AASP would also be recommended ( you should still do that after the diagnostic because that tool is meant to help the servicing process and speed it up).

Check the screen dim.

No, really.

SMC Reset. Connect HDMI or Thunderbolt output to an external monitor in determining if the notebook LCD has malfunctioned. No boot screen/power on, then you’ll have to check power distribution circuit, keyboard connection, etc. which all require opening it. Other component failures, besides the display, will typically illicit some visual output though during boot test.

Get a flashlight and try to see if there is anything shown in the screen.

Do you ever get a chime?
