Simple first step: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support.


Determine if the screen reappears as normal. After that, whether or not that same blank image appears, restart the Mac normally (not "Safe Mode").


If the problem persists If your Mac doesn't start up all the way - Apple Support describes certain additional actions to consider. The screen isn't completely blank but follow those steps anyway.
