MacOS – MacBook Pro only turns on at specific times after cleaning

macbook promacos

My MacBook Pro has been running fine for the past year. Two days ago when I tried to clean my MacBook Pro with a dry cloth, I heard a half chime sound while I was cleaning the keyboard. Since then my MacBook is not turning on during specific time.

I tried to turn it on until 2am (GMT+5) and nothing happened but when I turn it on after 3am (GMT+5) it turns on normally. When I try to turn it on in the afternoon (after returning from job) it doesn't turn on. This sounds really stupid but I have observed it for two days. I don't what has happened or what to make of it.

It charges normally no problem with that. It doesn't turn on even when battery is fully charged.

Has a schedule been set up? Check in Preferences > Energy Saver. Look at the bottom right under Schedule. You didn't do the cleaning with the power on? Did you hit a shortcut key combo?
