Screen turns on, but there’s no chime, fans don’t spin and i can’t get into recovery nor internet recovery.
I turned it off after a couple of hours and after turning it back on it wouldn’t boot anymore. Tried updating to Big Sur install and noticed that after some progress bars the screen turned black. Many of the affected users were owners of the 2013/2014 MacBooks and here are some of their dreadful reports of dead machines. This, as users of older Macs started complaining of bricked devices. Unfortunately, it wasn’t all rainbows and unicorns for all Mac users following the release of Big Sur. This new operating system brought with it design elements and popular features from iOS, effectively building a more consistent user experience across iPhones, iPads and Macs. Sometime in mid-November, Apple officially rolled out macOS Big Sur, its 17th and latest major release of macOS. Well as it turns out, not even Apple is immune to this rather unfortunate yet common occurrence in the tech scene. In the smartphone world, it is pretty commonplace for an OTA update to bring a few too many issues to eligible devices.
Big updates going sideways is not something new.
