Hey,
I have yet another MacBook Pro (2019 13") that does not boot or show any sign of life.
i already had this issue with two previous MacBook, which I then returned.
This time around, I tried to dig deeper on the internet and find a solution. After some googling, I came to the conclusion that the T2 chip is faulty and prevents the MBP to boot. (No backlit, no logo, no nothing. Just plain dead)
And late in the evening I found this blog: https://mrmacintosh.com/how-to-restore-bridgeos-on-a-t2-mac-how-to-put-a-mac-into-dfu-mode/
This sounded similar. After some asking around, I found someone to borrow me a second T2 device today.
So we booted up the Apple Configurator 2 and I put my MBP successfully into DFU mode. So time to start the restore of BridgeOS.
15 minutes later.. nothing. AP2 was stuck on Step 4 (installing [Bridge]OS) even though the progress bar was entirely filled.
Okay.. another try.. nothing. So we kept trying for 2 hours.
Is the MacBook Pro bricked? Anything we did wrong?
I really hope someone has an idea!
Thanks in advance - Jannis
