Damn! I hope your data is on an external disk & hasn't been corrupted.

Restored the system from a Time Machine backup.
Black screen. Won't even boot into Recovery mode.
Use command-S to boot into Single mode: "ERROR! Could not find APFS
system volume handle."
Taking it back to where I bought it, tomorrow morning.

For those keeping score:
A bit less than a year ago, my Mac Mini (photo computer) suffered
toasting of its i/o board, and I had to replace it with a new one.
Yesterday the new one froze while I was transferring pix of
Herculaneum to SmugMug. When I tried to restart it, nothing happened
-- the white apple on a black background appeared, the "thermometer"
crept about 10% of the way along, and then everything went blank.
I had no time to attempt repair until this afternoon. I booted in
"recovery mode," and ran Disk Utility . It reported a problem in the
SSD. So I ran Disk Utility on the Apple SSD, Container Disk 2, Mac HD,
Apple Disk Image, and OS X Base System. All were deemed healthy,
except a note that there was an "overallocation on main device."*
Restarted, and it started. Then it froze again.
I'm now restoring the OS from a Time Machine backup, and then I'll
have to restore all the data.
I was besieged by computer problems in 2018; and they seem to have
crept into 2019 too.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Rick
