The computer was lost but papersДЇor Apple Extended Warranty arrived quickly.

With arrival by surface UPS, my new iMac G4 finally arrived.Дirect from California. Had wrestled dozens of dragons & giants here too.

I've noted how since 1985, every so often, things change. Probably once the 'intel-based' Macs are mostly retiredДЄ newer batch of mac-users lives could be much better. & do 'viking-like' long marches in bad weather for Macs. At times.Д®arly adopters used to be more ready to wrestle giants This type of thing happens, every once in awhile overДecades of my experience w/ Macs + Apple.

Think twice before investing into an expensive machine, it's no more reliable than an affordable one.

Regardless, always have things backed up on an external drive (Time machine or something else) It may save you a lot of headaches.

Data from SSD or HDD can almost always be recovered with the right tools, unless there is physical damage (so don't panic).

And not Apple nor anyone else will care.ДЇor anyone reading, here are the things I've learned from this: This is so outrageous words can't explain it. The thing was like new.ДЄ computer that cost me $2000 has died for no reason.

There was never any physical damage, and it has never overheated (unless it happened during the latest system update while I was absent. I've owned this computer for a 3 years and it was always only sitting on a desk. Best thing I can do is sell it for parts. You can't Apple trade-in a broken device either. Of course I am not going through with that. The technician says he hasn't got a slightest idea why. My computer had a nonsensical logic board failure. To have backups to include last one, previous macOS in a Time Machine.ДЄfter taking the MacBook to a certified technician, they were able to recover all the data on the SSD, at a price which depends on the amount of data. Not sure what to suggest if faced with dilemma such as you, I'd be sure I've used those before to repair a partition, directly. One of them may be Recovery for the older or newest macOS by name.

Had you attempted to start up with OPT key held, through the boot cycle ДЄnd until you may see icons of partitions or drives? That'd be a good sign.

(For Macs that appear to be off, but aren't there are instructions to make it stop, then try something else.) There may be a way to start up into Recovery mode and avoid the events which lead to the shut down. And even then I'm not sure what'll happen with all my data and work on it. If I can't solve this on my own with the help of the community I'll probably have to pay to get it fixed.

Nothing connected to it.ДЄll I've done is attempt to install an official software update and it wrecked my computer. I closed the lid but I can still hear the fans turning on and off.

It's getting late so I'll be heading to sleep soon. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. I'll mention that the update took all day to download and then got stuck and didn't move anywhere for about an hour. I've tried to boot into Recovery mode by holding down Cmd+ R after it turns on.Д«ut it always shuts down after the apple logo. Returned half an hour later- and my computer won't boot. Previously it was on Big Sur.ДЄfter downloading and clicking 'Upgrade Now' I went outside and let it do its thing.
