Macbook Pro Got Bricked After Mac OS Update

I was updating my 2019 macbook pro 13 in to the new mac Monterey OS. When finished downloading, it said I have to restart my mac, however it suddenly turned off and got bricked. I tried everything but it did not worked.

I went to the apple service center and they said I have to replace the main logic board and it costs $600.

Did anyone had this issue before? And if you did, how much did you paid?

This issue happened while updating the mac OS and it’s not involved with my fault, so I think it’s not reasonable situation for me.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

My MacBook Pro is a 2015 - long out of warranty. When I called Apple support and told them about my problem, they authorized taking it to a local repair center to get it fixed. I was not charged anything. Even so, it took less than an hour for the tech to resolve the problem and the charge would have been $60. But in my case, the mother board did not need to be replaced. Regardless, this bug is due to an upgrade to Monterey, and I believe that Apple is obligated to do any repairs at no charge since they claim that the upgrade is compatible with your computer.

So when you call Apple Support, be sure to ask for authorization to take it in for repair.
