      What is the history of this machine? Using the original power adapter?

      Is the sleep led coming on ? Check the lid sensor voltage.

      Is it stable if you remove the SSD and let it sit for a while / hours?

              Post a pic or full details of the exact error you see during the failed installation.

                  MacBook Pro 16" (2019) A2141: power consumption? Dead GPU? MacOS not installing
                  by tomtom67
                  A friend brought his fresh-from-ebay macbook pro A2141 after he failed replacement keyboard plugging.
                  I fixed all the little problems he introduced.

                  I am unable to install macOS to this device. Both Sequoia and Catalina (from Internet Recovery) start to install, but after ~2-5 minutes into the installation the macbook does a hard restart (max fan spin for a split second, then reboot without chime).

                  I noticed what I think is a very high power consumption, like 20V/1.7A when activating WiFi for internet recovery, and more like 20V/3.7-4.1A while downloading the recovery...

                  MacBook Pro a2141 not installing macOS
                  by som_b1
                  hello. I have 2141 on which I can't restore macOS. When loading, no buttons are active, it immediately wants to restore the Internet. But then I see an error 2100f. It doesn't boot from an external USB.
                  I can't flash it through dfu because I don't know the version of macOS that was on it. Help
                  By the way, for some reason it heats up inadequately and the coolers are at maximum

                  Macbook AIr a1466 Trackpad jittery/nonresponsive in macos, but not in recovery mode.
                  by redbaron1007
                  I've got a MacBook Air A1466 that had liquid damage that I got working entirely except for the trackpad. The track pad is jittery or outright unresponsive when it is in macos, but works perfectly fine in recovery mode. The keyboard works and there are no issues with any of the keys not pressing. I have also replaced the track pad with 2 known good track pads and still am having issues with it.

                  I can't find anything wrong on the board with any of the IC's that would be in circuit with the track pad and am assuming it's some sort of os issue, but I don't know how macOS actually works...

                  Macbook Air A1466 820-3437-B Booting Problem
                  by psdavid65
                  I received a 2013 Macbook Air A1466 820-3437-B motherboard with serial number C02L6GQ9FSV8 that came in WITHOUT a bios chip. I got a new bios chip and reprogrammed it. Macbook now powers on but doesn't boot the SSD. I've flashed a ton of bios but still same problem. Windows installation works with this Macbook but never a mac installation. Unfortunately, since I didn't receive this macbook with a bios chip, I don't have the original bios. What can I do now?...

                  MacBook Pro A2338 keeps restarting when attempting to install macOS
                  by Simplebeans
                  I have just got in a MacBook Pro A2338 which was initially displaying the Apple logo followed by an explanation mark in a circle as described here:- https://support.apple.com/en-gb/102164.

                  After some error messages attempting to revive and restore the machine via DFU mode i have finally got the machine revived however now the issue seems to be when attempting to install macOS Sequoia via a bootable USB installer or via macOS recovery the machine just keeps freezing and restarting before the installation is complete, usually the installation has just started or is mid way trough before...
