Customer came in for data recovery, came to find out data is soldered on to this iMac (learn something new everyday) this is a 2020 T2 iMac so I was surprised because the iMac Pro has a T2 chip and it isn't soldered on. Anyways, the iMac boots to Apple logo and then restarts, before it turns off you hear a quarter fan spin then it repeats itself. I decided to do a DFU revive to restore any hardware firmware issues and it was successful in reviving the device however the issue persists in boot looping. It shows the Apple logo for like 40 seconds then turns off and fan spin rinse repeat. I removed all the ram and tried one ram to see if it was a ram issue. Nothing. I removed the screen to investigate and nothing seems abnormal. Does anyone have any suggestions? I could do board repair but I wouldn't know where to start on this machine. Anyone's experience with this would be great
