    Mac Mini 2014 820-5509A Reboot loop while installing macOS

    Hello i have got a Mac Mini 2014 with 820-5509A motherboard it powers on but i cannot install macOS, in first part of installer it goes about 75% and reboots back again to installer
    I think the bios was changed because it has a lot of flux around EFi chip
    Thanks in advance

      Samsung GU58TU7199 reboot loop
      by kevin_allein
      Hi, I have two identical Samsung GU58TU7199, which both had the reboot loop. On that model TCON is integrated into the motherboard and there is only one FPC cable, which goes to a driver board driving half of the panel (left side seen from the rear of the TV) and than another FPC cable connecting left side to the right side.

      The first one was easy, once I disconnected the FPC between left and right the TV did start up. I soldered a bridge on the motherboard on the test points as found here in the forum or on Youtube and half of the screen was coming up. I than tried the CK1..8 lines...

      Samsung QE50Q60AA - Reboot loop
      by natiz
      I have a QE50Q60AA that won't stay on - when turning it on, it makes the sound and reboots right after (sound is ok).
      Disconnecting the LVDS cable stops the restart loop but no image.
      I tried the tape method mentioned in other threads in many variations, but I couldn't get it to properly work (either reboot loop, or no image).
      Tested the caps on the left buffer board, no beeps.

      What else can be checked?...

      Samsung 4K UN55NU7100F stuck in a reboot loop
      by Yanleb
      Ok, I have this Samsung 4K UN55NU7100F that is stuck in a reboot loop.

      I know this is not a backlight issue since when I disconnect the power cable from the main board the power supply starts and the backlight is working just fine. Each of the 6 LED strip connectors measure 116 volts.

      I've found that when I disconnect any one of the two LVDS cables going from the main board to the LCD panel (it doesn't have a T-CON board) it is working just fine (with no picture as you can expect).

      On a few occasions I found that reconnecting the disconnected LVDS...

      Acer Swift 5 (SF514-52T) reboot loop mistery
      by nocnoc
      Hi all,

      I'm quite new to this and trying to learn by help a friend with his SF514-52T that stopped booting after battery was replaced. I suspected the battery was bad but the problem persisted when putting back the original one (which is was still working although with reduced capacity).

      When pressing the power-on button the symptoms are:
      - Keyboard backlight and blue power LED turn on for about 5-7 seconds, and then flash off-on in ~3 seconds cycles (reboot loop).
      - Display does not seem to turn on, although it sometimes seems to flash in between reboots....

      A2141 (2019 16" MB Pro) Strange macOS install issues. NAND? WIFI? FIRMWARE?
      by duwane
      Hi All.

      Sorry ahead of time for the text wall. This is a strange problem and I have tried to explain it as best I can. I realise this is a hardware forum (mostly), but I am still not sure if this is even a hardware fault! I am hoping that someone more knowledgeable than me in the area of understanding installation logs, or someone that has had a similar issue in the past may have some ideas of what might be causing this.

      The issue:
      Unable to do a clean install of any macOS versions supported for this model, even after fully erasing and formatting the internal SSD,...
