hi folks first of all sorry for my english
I have Retina macbook pro 15 2013 early and I am in big trouble and here is the situation:
- it worked pretty fine till today.
- Then I decided to install win10 on the 2nd partition just by installing it like a typical windows laptop (I created 2nd partition on the SSD and formated it as a msdod in the disk utility in the mac os sierra)
-Then I just boot from USB stick drive with a clear win 10 on it (no bootcamp, just a clear win10 image was installed on that stick) and installed windows.
- it requested to restart the system to finish the installation and then I've faced a huge issue :(
My macbook won't start by any circumstances . When I press power button I can hear mac start up sound, there is a backlight and the fans are working and that's it. A black screen. No apple logo. Nothing.
What I've tried:
- Hold the power button 10 sec
- Internet recover (CMD + option + R)
- Recovery CMD + R
- Tried to boot from live USB by holding cmd
- Reset the nvram
- reset smc
- Power button + D (can't even start AHT)
Nothing helped. Still my mac won't react at all just a black screen and I even can't reach recovery option or boot menu
I can't believe that. I assume that's a software issue (coz that happened only after my wrong win 10 installation attempt) however nothing helped.

What should I do guys? any help appreciated

Nothing happened, just black screen , no apple logo, backlight is on, fans on. No reaction.
A bad Windows install can mess up the macOS install, but no way would it cause what you are seeing. Even if the Windows install completely messed up the internal drive formatting, you would still be able to get into Internet recovery. I think you have a more serious, underlying hardware issue here is you cannot even get to Internet recovery.

Agree. My guess that it's GPU issue

Today I've contacted local apple support service and they gonna look up to my macbook. Final result will be tomorrow. Will keep updated
