If the Apple logo during the start keeps coming off and on constantly, the short answer is, you probably cannot do anything about it, because it is likely the mainboard/hardware issue. You are stuck with a motherboard replacement cost of about $750 CAD (I'm Canadian) as Apple doesn't take ownership when its devices fail after the warranty period.


The long answer is; I had the same issue on my iPhone X. I'm an extremely meticulous person, you cannot see a single scratch on my phone. On the day of bringing my MacBook Pro M1 due to its monitor issue, my iPhone stopped working, first apple logo was coming on and off constantly, then connect the cord to the computer photo (support.apple.com/iphone/restore) and when I tried to reset it on iTunes, the error code # 4013 appeared constantly. I took it to Genius Bar along with my MacBook Pro M1. Thankfully(!) my MacBook Pro is only 4-5 months old, so Apple is presently replacing it under warranty. When I showed my iPhone I was advised that the motherboard is dead and it's pretty much my problem to deal with. It's company policy yada yada, you all know that story..


I had had an issue with my MacBook Pro 2015 too, the anti-glare coat was pretty much melted on the monitor due to a manufacturing error. Because I'm not a heavy user, I had the issue later than other users. When I took my MacBook, I was told that they cannot do anything, because I didn't bring it during the recall for a free replacement. I had listened to the same song by then, the song's name is: It's Apple's Company Policy for its lemon products. I later learned that it was called "Staingate


I have Apple Watch, Apple TV, etc. After all my negative experiences, the Macbook Pro M1 is definitely my last ever purchase from Apple. As a matter of principle, I am not OK to use products of a company that doesn't take ownership, and by knowing that their state of the art products will fail only in a few years, and that I will have to replace them by paying thousands of dollars in every 3-4 years.


It's so disappointing that Apple doesn't take ownership of its poor-quality electronics and there is no credibility. I've never used Android phones, however it looks like I will have to from now on. 


Wishing all the best of luck to all current and future Apple users, as you folks have a very frustrating and expensive route ahead.
