    Macbook A1534 problem with MacOs installation

    I have Macbook A1534 which had Windows 10 installed on it, now customer want to have macos back because windows is slow.
    From disk utility I deleted all partitions ( there was boot camp and macintosh ), created GUID Partition Map / APFS and I'm trying to install High Sierra from USB and its failing in half way, if I use Internet Recovery I have error apple.com/support -5101F, its shows me the option to go under support and mentions that battery have to be replaced.
    Because the battery I can't install the MacOs or it something else? any suggestions please?

    what error you get during installation from USB ? check in recovery (open terminal) what Date is set. I'd some issues with installation older macos due to frong date set.

      Date was correct, I've checked it on the beginning, there was no error number during the installation from USB, but I was keep trying to install High Sierra osx about 10 times or maybe more and suddenly installed it successfully. Then I've updated it easily to Big Sure and is working fine. Have no idea what was wrong but its sorted

        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,...

        Macbook pro 16" A2141 not updated
        by PITERPENY
        Hi. I've encountered this problem for the first time. I need help. Has anyone encountered it before and how did you solve it? Only MacOS Catalina can be installed on a MacBook via online recovery, and the Mac works fine (although it's also running slowly). But when I try to update the MacBook, it constantly crashes, and nothing else works except Catalina. Attempts to install Venture or Monterey Jack from an external drive are also impossible. I tried DFU recovery, but I can still only install Catalina and can't update, even though the system offers to update to Tahoe. It's impossible to run any...

        Fit 820-00244-А board in Apple Macbook A1534 2017 820-00687-А
        by stefanbs
        The laptop is Apple Macbook A1534 2017 with board 820-00687-А. The USB-C tester shows no voltage, there is 820-00244-А board available. I looked at both schematics, all connector signals seem to be the same. Did someone try to fit 820-00244-А board in A1534 2017?
