It does boot sometimes, but only after hanging for way longer than is normal for a A1398 of this vintage to come to the logo. Half of the times I try to boot it just gives me the question mark folder! I tried the usual SMC and PRAM resets, and I ran First Aid when the machine did decide to boot, but first Aid did not repair anything on the SSD, but came back with SSD is OK. I booted of external drive, and it did boot then.I reseated the SSD, looked at the connection under the scope. Looking clean.I switched to another known good SSD blade, same issue. I tied Safe Mode, but it hangs at login screen, lets me type my password but then nothing. Ran ASD EFI , came out fine. Tried to run ASD OS, hangs. Will boot after a PRAM reset, but then the next boot again, just the folder! Anyone have any clues where to even start?

History? Liquid damage? Discrete graphics or Integrated graphics model?
Stoppped booting from external drive as well or I misunderstood?
Happened after an update? Someone messed with EFI?
Just to rule that out I'd try to flash the EFI with a known good dump and (properly) cleaned ME region.OpenBoardView — https://github.com/OpenBoardView/OpenBoardViewComment

Hello everyone,
I'm facing an issue with a HEG-001 motherboard that is unable to complete the Second-Stage Boot. I'd like to start directly with my conclusion, which is the decision to replace the MAX77621AEWI chip, and understand if it could be a correct evaluation.
Before I dive into the process that led me to this decision, I want to mention that I have a fully equipped lab where I can perform any kind of tests.
Let's begin:
Following some guides online, I tried to understand how the Boot phase of the Nintendo Switch works, and what are the... -
Got a MacBook Pro 15" A1990 with a board issue, The board turns on, I did a DFU revive to see if it needed a firmware patch, that was successful, however the board just keeps boot looping and turning off and on very quickly. Obviously the DATA Is there, but it wont even launch into recovery, it will just die and turn back on with Apple logo, once it gets really hot it dies, if the laptop sits for the day and is cool, it will turn on then get hot within 1 min then die and turn itself on and repeat. Once it does that it turns itself on and off repeatedly in seconds. I put a thermal camera...10-04-2024, 02:50 PM
