Mac Mini M1 2020 won't get into boot cycle after power on. Led blinks white at 2 second intervals for 20 seconds and then blinks amber in faster irregular flash pattern indefinitely. I tried zapping the PRAM as the Mac startup chord sounded, but it doesn't respond to keyboard input, apparently. Same with trying to start in SAFE MODE, or Recovery Mode. And nothing ever shows on monitor.
