    But this is great news now that we can read who the previous owner was. With that being a thing we can now have permanent removal by reaching out to those individuals.
    Legend, do you have any update on that matter ?
    I am still trying to figure out a way

    I find it interesting that even with a bypass, where you have full access to the MacBook, yet still can't remove the previous owner details.

It means that you will pay the money and you will be only to "open" the account/system ,if you will need any erasure in the future or restore factory etc. you will need to unlock it again.

    There isn't still any vaiable option to do it.

    There some posts on this forum that show the screen as it's powering up into recovery. If it gives an estimate of how long to load, then you won't be able to unlock by software.
    However, you can still pay for activation bypass services.

    Master Liu screwed me goooood - I saw in a video he was using a t200 to read rom so i purchased one, but watching the video over there are no links to the actual software he uses. It looks like there is still no proper hardware method to unlock T2. I heard on older bridge OS it is possible. Is there a way we can find out what bridge OS a mac is using if it is activation locked?

    Apple A1990 / Board number: 820-01041
    by RWS93
    Brand: Apple
    Model: A1990
    Board number: 820-01041


    Problem: I am not an Apple kind of guy to start with. But I am quite experienced with motherboard repairs in general. So the laptop is stuck with 5v 0.250A and does not negotiate 20v. Same symptom on all 4 USB C ports. When charger is plugged the amps start at around 0.060 then go trough: 0.100 - 0.180 - 0.230 - 0.244 and stay like this. Laptop responds to the power button: once I hold it long enough current goes down to 0.060A and then up to previous levels.

    Board clean, no liquid damage, no corrosion....

    changed the keyboard and the touch id. on 14 inch Apple M1 A2442
    by Ripoman
    I have changes the keyboard and the touch id. on 14 inch Apple M1 A2442,
    "option stuck "

    It did not help because the lady was playing intensive games on the laptop : The issue with the Option (Alt) key is related to the Mac’s HID system (Human Interface Device), which manages how macOS receives input from the internal keyboard.

    The Option key is not physically stuck. Due to intensive use of the Option key during gaming, the internal keyboard sometimes sends an incomplete input signal, causing macOS to think the Option key is still being pressed....
