Received this unit for data-recovery only. Unit has no power and charger cycles the instant it boosts to 20v on all ports. Unit will show life when REVIVING, but fails DFU eventually (expected DFU mode, i.e. a cycle/restart of SOC). Board and unit are super clean, I suspect the unit may have simply lost power at a critical point of update. Customer doesn't care about repair, only wants data. But I strongly feel a restore is what the unit needs. Again, during revive, video will show on LCD, but there is never any trackpad click (I'm unsure if there is normally anyway at this specific point, reviving an 02536). To be sure, I tried board in different working unit to eliminate all non-board components. Revive still fails.
I think a restore would fix the board, but it will erase the data. No target disk pre-boot modes anymore, so unsure of what to even try.
Any suggestions?
