I’ve just “upgraded” to Catalina.
My laptop is now bricked.
All I get is the “folder?” logo or nothing at all if I try “option” or “command R” on boot up.
What to do now?
I have had the same problem. I’ have made a telephone call with the apple support and they coached me how to get back mojave. This was a bitcomplicated. First they downgrade me to the first mac os when I bought my laptop. Thereafter they sent me the link to update to mojave. You must do this by that link; [because when you ckick on update (only) the system wil update to catalina.] This works!
After this I used my time machine backup to get back my contents. Now it works fine again. With thanks to apple support.
Bonjour,

Today, when updating the macbook pro 2017, black screen appeared, after no reactions to buttons combinations....
unfortunately no way to see the internal volume.... any other suggestions?
I got my mother board replaced for free by Apple. Push and they will do it.
My mac is a 2014 MacBook Pro.
Buy a Dell
Thanks, mine is a late model 2013.
Everything working now. solved. But let's face it, Catalina has serious problems
Same issue here after the subsequent update.
Yes it’s painful, and no, Apple is not perfect. In the long run, though, you will be happy with your choice.
Sounds like you had a 32-bit version of Microsoft Office installed. Catalina does not support 32-bit anything. This was known. You will need to update your word software or go back to Mojave.
Hi! I'm having the same issue and I also live in Poznan, could you tell me to which place you took your macbook to, and what exactly they said? Would really appreciate it!
Yeap. Tried all the boot up sequences. That’s the scary part. The firmware was corrupted that your cannot boot via any alternative way.
Catalina bricked my 2015 MacBook Pro. What to do now?
