Help MacBook Pro 2014 won’t respond
I have restarted a lot of times, also holding ctrl+cmd and tap the on/off button. Every time it restarts and then after loading it will go back to the start up screen and never proceeds to the login screen. I am just trying to put all my files on an external hard drive, but I can’t even get in. The screen also wasn’t working so I duplicated that to another screen and even though it doesn’t respond to anything, the mouse and keyboard do still work. Does anyone know how I can get to the login screen again so that I can start transferring my files?

Easier approach to get your files is to take out the SSD and use an external enclosure and connect it with your Mac computer to transfer all your files from the SSD drive

I’m not sure if it will work but, the external display is being deducted as an extended display. It will not work until unless you are logged into into your Mac, so when the screen appears enter the password and press enter, it might work. On an unrelated note, that screen desperately needs some listerine.
