MacBook Air 13in dead after Catalina update Hello, Last year during the pandemic I was updating my laptop to Catalina. As the white bar went to the end it looked as if it was going to restart, but nothing at all. I spoke with apple and tried everything, and I mean everything. Did anyone else have this issue? I've seen articles where people have had this problem and apple is fixing the logic board because of it, but when I contact apple they have no idea or even acknowledge that its an issue.

Macbook Pro 2018 dead Today my MacBook Pro 2018 started to act strange. Out of no where it started to reboot after "it had encountered a problem". It rebooted several times. I thought it might had to do with the fact I hadn't updated it. I downloaded Maverick and I was asked to reboot my computer, which I did. The problem was it never turned back on. It is completely dead. I have tried to connect it to two different chargers, but I hear no charging sound. Any idea what might be the issue and what I can do?

Catalina-Update killed my Mac mini late 2018 After long waiting I tried to update my Mac mini to Catalina today. During installation the Mac made a shutdown, the fan was loud for one minute or so and since that time the Mac is dead. No chance to restart it. No Led, no noise, nothing. Any tips for me? Thanks Philipp
