GM,

Need some help from the community.

Computer was awaken this morning with a odd behavior, like going to lock screen on its own, I would unlock and it would lock it again within seconds and also screen would go dark and back on.

I decided to reboot, now the screen shows loading startup option or something and it wont get passed that.

I have already gone into recovrey mode and performed a Disk AID, all looks good.
I have formatted the disk and reinstalled the OS Fresh but still having the same behavior once I try to boot normally.

Sounds like a hardware issue?

What else can I do? Is this computer doomed?

Please advise

Is the power button broken in any way? Somethings pressing on the Touch ID button all the time.

It’s not, I checked all button..

Also, when I get into Recovery Mode, if I hit the Macintosh HD option it wont do anything, but I can however get into the settings mode to perform reinstall, repair and all.

I just can’t boot normally which is weird

I have created a second partition now and I’m going to try to reinstall and boot from there

Yeah I thought about that as well. However if the problem is with the power button, won’t it be the same thing?

I will try anyway!!

I also tried using a different partition but no luck!!

I think the power button is broken or something
