You need to revive the firmware on your Mac with Apple silicon.

If you need help with that contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

M1 Mac Mini won't boot, white LED flashes Got back from vacation last night, have been unable to boot the Mac Mini since. White LED flashes slowly. Only way to turn off is to unplug power cord. Holding power button does not turn off the computer. Pressing power button again will result in the startup chime being heard, then Mac goes back to flashing white LED. screen stays dark. Holding power button does not take me into recovery mode. Also tried using Configurator 2. Mac Mini not being detected. No DFU mode. Haven't been able to find anything other than a single sentence on Apple's support website stating the Mac may need service. Any other ideas/suggestions? Thanks much! A.

MBP M1 Pro stops booting after Apple logo, won’t go to startup options Just got a used MBP in great condition and all has been good for a few days. However today I have shut it down and put it on charge, and when going to start up it goes to the Apple logo then goes to a blank screen. It’s still on as you need to hold the power to shut it down and try again but it’s not going any further. Same happens with going into the setup options, it gets to the “loading startup options” and then goes to a blank screen. Only thing I can think of is to try the Apple Configurator and see if it comes to life but I’ll have to borrow a Mac to even do that. Anyone experienced this before?

Then you will need to schedule an appointment at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

To do that, go to > Find Locations > click Explore Service Locations > choose a Service location > Schedule a Repair.
