When my Canon M3 died. It was the ribbon cable from the Tilt LCD screen.

As soon as I used the tilt, the camera would shut off. It worked intermittently until the cable finally broke apart.

It did a similiar thing of trying to power on and then shutting off.

If you are not getting anything on the display. Chances are the cable has broken apart around the bend on the LCD side.

Parts are sold on Ebay so it looks to be a common failure point.

M100 LCD Flex Cable

Many thanks for the suggestion. I have opened the back cover and I saw the ribbon cable but it seemed intact so I do not think it is this problem. TBH I am a bit hesitant to dig deeper into it (i..e to remove the inner back metal plate as well) as there are too many little screws and no youtube teardown video!
