Broken Motherboard Hello, my MacBook Pro, which I purchased on October 14th, 2020, suddenly went off about two months ago while it was in operation and has not been able to be charged since. An investigation by an authorized reseller revealed a defect on the motherboard, probably due to a short circuit. Previous attempts to complain about the device to the retailer and manufacturer have failed. Apple's handling of this problem has so far been very unsatisfactory and not exactly service-oriented. Since it is obviously a hardware error (there were no external influences that could have caused such damage), I expect a free repair of the device and/or the provision of a new equivalent device

M1 MacBook Pro logic board failure On: Jan. 10, 2022, I paid $2,609.17 for the MacBook Pro (14-inch,2021) with 8-Core CPU, 14-Core GPU, 16GB Memory, 512GB SSD. Serial No: D2**GHY On Sept 21, 2023, the MacBook will not power up and I paid $1,050.77 to replace the Logic Board 8-Core CPU, 14-Core GPU, 16GB Memory, 512GB SSD and the Touch ID Board. On May 16, 2024, less than 8 months, the MacBook experienced the exact issue, not powering up again, and I brought it into Apple Fairview to find out the issue and the technician while not recommending me to repair it because the repair will involve replacing the same Logic Board and Touch ID Board and the Silver Top Case with Battery ANSI, with total estimate of $1,845.83 and Apple does not believe it will fix this issue for good since there were many other people experiencing the same Logic Board issue failure. I want to know if there is a generic issue with model that resulting in this type of unreliability and if Apply is going to fix this type of generic issue for its loyal customers.

Suddenly MacBook air M1 dead while using it normally. I was using my macbook and youtube videk was ongoing. Suddenly it got off and never got on again. I visited service centre they told me that motherboard is dead and need to replace. The warranty was just over 3 months back. So I am the victim of apple robbery. I need a replacement of my laptop as it is not fallen even one single time also no damage in any sense.
