Greetings! I got a 17" Macbook Pro that I tried resetting the EFI password on. The computer still turned on and charged.
I was able to read and verify three dumps from the EFI chip, then I modified it removing the two $SVS sections and flashed it to the chip successfully.
Now the laptop won't show any lights on the charger, or the battery status lights, and nothing happens when I try to turn it on.
I did not remove the EFI chip from the board when doing my work. I followed this guide: Mac EFI Password Removal (Github)
What did I do : ( What do I do now? I'm willing to dig in with a multimeter, fine tip soldering iron, and micro heat gun
I've attached the original and my modified bins.
Thank you!
