I was updating my MacBook Pro from 2018 and it was doing fine until the screen suddenly turned black and now it won't turn on. I've checked the outlet, the cable, the brick, everything. I've held power for 10 seconds and nothing happens. I have no signs of life on my MacBook.
Any suggestions?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6
Update y’all, scroll to the bottom for tldr.
I picked up my MacBook from the Apple store after I refused to pay that service, I had asked them to remove the logicboard so that I could scrap the parts and not worry about saved data but they said they couldn’t do it- good thing they couldn’t.
Previously my MacBook Pro 2018 would not turn on after a software update, taking it to the store they could not get it to power on at all, they confirmed it was not a battery issue but said it was a logicboard issue.
I took it home and my partner wanted to give a try and used this video and followed it accordingly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evvTbMTOskc&t=1185s and y’all … it turned on. It said the battery needed to be charged and we charged it and it was on! We are reinstalling the software now but things look promising.
hope this helps:
Took maybe 25 minutes or so.
I have MacBook Pro 13 2020 (intel) I buoyed it because my programme works ob intel and I don't believe to Rosseta 2
Can I update my MacBook?
Anyway I'll need to do this
Seriously? They are going to charge the customers for that? That does not make sense
Hi, Were you able to get it working ?
Nope, waiting to see what happen to other people to take a decision. Though paying the repair offered is not on my horizon, yet!
My case is a little better than you. The map 2019 with T2 is not totally dead yet. But I still not find a way to read my hard disk on it yet. See also https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253322166 .
Had a call with the apple support team. They're saying get it fixed with your money now and in future if there is a program for this problem, we'll issue a refund.
I hope that they offer a smart way of dealing with this. Many loyal customers (me included) feel extremely disappointed for what happened and how they are treating us!!
You got any help from apple ?
Wow. I am really happy for you. I also have a 2016 MacBook Pro. They didn’t agree to repair mine. May I ask where you are from?
Maybe I can use that as a reference.
BUT you need two MacBooks, only downside.
Where you able to solve it? I encountered the exact same problem the other day. My mac is completely dead...
me too!! my macbook air 2017 brick after update monterey.
Exactly! I only re-install macos with previous version and this solved my problem on iMac 18.2.
Monterey killed my MacBook Pro.
