Mac Studio M1 Max won't boot

Hello! I am using Mac Studio M1 Max and also have the problem of not being able to boot. I put it in sleep mode overnight. However, the next morning, when I was getting ready for work, I found it had turned off without my knowledge. I tried everything to boot it up, but it didn't work. I sent it to the Apple center. Hopefully the worst would not happen. But unfortunately. As a result, I received a reply from the Apple center staff saying that they could not find the fault with the machine and they suggested that I replace the power supply or the logic board. I don't understand what Apple is doing anymore. The fault of the machine without knowing what the fault is. I am currently very disappointed in this Mac Studio.

You REALLY need to be talking with your service provider.

if they replace the logic board and that does not fix the problem, can they leave the old logic board and replace the (less expensive) power supply board instead? and charge you ONLY for the board that provides the fix?

if you are in the habit of removing all power at night, such as a switched power strip, be sure to ask them to check the PRAM backup battery for the required OVER 3.00 Volts. CR2032 is an adequate replacement and generally available for cheap.

That battery is located behind the power supply board and the built-in speaker. Not for the casual user or anyone faint-hearted, but easy for them if the power supply board is being removed.

After they talked to me about it, I asked them to replace the power supply first to see if it worked and then replace a logic board. What surprised me was that the cost of replacing the logic board was quite high compared to what I imagined. OMG almost 900USD

everything 'smart' and all the RAM memory is on that logic board, including the drive interfaces in this case. For a MacBook Pro, the drives themselves are also on board.

When you replace the logic board, you have a whole new computer afterward.
