<title><![CDATA[MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar 2017: Battery daughter board cable for a MacBook Pro 13” Retina A1706.]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I’m honestly getting a bit desperate trying to find a <strong>battery daughter board cable for a MacBook Pro 13” Retina A1706</strong>.</p>

<p>I’ve searched everywhere: online stores, marketplaces, spare parts sites… nothing reliable, nothing in stock, nothing that I can actually trust.</p>

<p>This tiny cable is literally the only thing stopping me from fixing my MacBook. Without it, the device is useless. I really don’t want to replace the whole machine over something like this.</p>

<p>Does anyone here know where I can find this part?<br />Even used or refurbished would be totally fine at this point.</p>

<p>Any help would seriously mean a lot.</p>

<title><![CDATA[MacBook Air 13" Late 2020: Getting an Apple Silicon Mac into Recovery Mode with no display.]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I have an M1 MacBook Air that was given to me to recover data following a nasty incident with a friends ex boyfriend who turned it from a functioning MacBook into a boomerang. In several pieces.</p>

<p>I didn't get the display with the machine since it was toast—the T-CON board was still mounted in the top case and all the cables were totally ripped, hinges were still screwed in as well, just none of the rest of the display</p>

<p>Surprisingly, the thing still boots. I didn't even have to do anything. I can get into it no problem. Have recovered data for said friend.</p>

<p>But since said friend doesn't want it back, I wanted to get some use out of it. I need to get some pictures for the <a href="/Guide/How+to+Recover+Data+From+a+MacBook/155945" target="_blank">MacBook Data Recovery Guide</a> I've been working on for Share Disk Mode steps and this is the only Apple Silicon Mac I have access to.</p>

<p>It will not show the startup options screen on the external display I have connected. It may be on the correct menu, but I would have no way of knowing since it doesn't output the primary display, only the secondary display in an extended setup. All I get is a black screen and mouse pointer if I manage to get the pointer on the second screen. Oddly, the internal display is  still &quot;detected&quot; when I'm in OS. Maybe that's normal? But I don't even have the eDP cable connected.</p>

<p>Powering on never gets me an Apple logo even if it's booting, and I never see whatever was supposed to be on the primary display until it gets to OS where I have it set to mirrored mode.<br /></p>

<p>I have tried various terminal commands I've found, which all errored as invalid (they all reference NVRAM which is handled differently on Apple Silicon Macs). I tried triggering lid closed signals via magnets. I've tried clicking blindly, and pressing keys in some combination that might make sense for selecting the Options button. But no change.</p>

<p>Please help me so I can help you.</p>

<p><strong>UPDATE 03/19/2023:</strong> I have messed with this a whole bunch more, just for the sake of science, but still to no avail. I have seen others who mention this sort of behavior on Apple Silicon Macs. The internal display is still detected even when it is not present.</p>

<p>So I went into science mode. I powered it up and measured IPD_LID_OPEN_1V8. Which measured almost 1.8V on the nose. Neither of the hall sensors containing components are even connected.</p>

<p>Electrically speaking, I'm willing to bet it still thinks this display is detected. And it's open. But I'm not sure where the initial detect signal or logic comes from. So. I thought. I wonder what happens if I just break the line for the aforementioned Lid Open signal. So I removed RR203. This broke the path for this 1.8V signal to be transmitted elsewhere.</p>

<p>Now when I connected power to the board, it thinks the lid is closed, so it won't auto power on. I can probably force a shut signal by shorting that line after I'm sure the machine is on. I can get it to power on by shorting pads, but it acts weirder than it was before.</p>

<p>I will probably see what happens if you break some of the enable lines, or power rails for the display.</p>

<title><![CDATA[MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Early 2013: Converting 2013 MacBook Pro to USB trackpad / keyboard]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>TL;DR</strong> - I am attempting to convert a keyboard &amp; trackpad from an early 2013 Macbook Pro retina (a1398) into a standalone usb keyboard &amp; trackpad that can be used with any modern laptop. As someone with minimal soldering and electronics experience, I could use some guidance!</p>

<p><strong>Steps I've taken so far:</strong></p>

<ul><li>Researched to see if this is even possible -- looks like the answer could be 'yes' based on some examples seen around the web</li><li>Tried to find someone I could hire to do this (no luck thus far... hence why I'm here)</li><li>Recently downloaded the a1398 schematics with the 820-3332-A board and fed it into some chatbots to potentially teach me how to do it myself (schematics link: <strong><a href="https://f.ch1p.io/rjHAmTOU/820-3332-a.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" title="https://f.ch1p.io/rjHAmTOU/820-3332-a.pdf" target="_blank">https://f.ch1p.io/rjHAmTOU/820-3332-a.pd...</a></strong>)</li></ul>

<p><strong>Chatbot Summary of Instructions</strong> -&gt; could use help determining if this would work</p>

<p>1. <em>Isolation</em>: Open up the case and remove the R5701 &amp; R5702 resistors -&gt; Ensures the MacBook's PCH doesn't interfere with whatever end computer I connect it with.</p>

<p>2. <em>Data</em>: Solder the Green (D+) and White (D-) wires of the USB cable to the connector side of those R5701 &amp; R5702 resistor pads -&gt; Corresponds to the 'USB_TPAD_P' and 'USB_TPAD_N' connections (Keyboard + trackpad data signals are combined via IPD cable)</p>

<p>3. <em>Power</em>: Solder the Red (5V) wire of the USB cable to the L5700 pad leading to the connector -&gt; this small inductor/ferrite bead provides 5V to the PP5V_S4_TPAD rail via L5700, allowing the trackpad's circuitry to manage internal power needs</p>

<p>4. <em>Ground</em>: Solder the Black wire (GND) to the metal ears or shield of the J5800 connector -&gt; ensures data signals are clean and will be recognized by an external computer</p>

<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: In case you're wondering why I'm doing this...</p>

<p>- I have chronic myofascial pain in my upper extremities. This Macbook Pro model allowed me to go for long periods of time without pain. Having tried dozens of newer laptop models for Mac, Windows, and Chromebook, I have yet to find one with a keyboard/trackpad that performed as well for my pain as the MBP a1398. I could really use some help on how to do this myself.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Macbook Pro 14" 2023: MacBook completely dead after battery discharge]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi. I have an A2779 MacBook which was in good working order until the battery discharged. Now, the laptop will not boot despite being charged for several hours</p>

<p>I’ve tried entering DFU mode and it did not work.</p>

<p>There is no sound, and the display does not turn on at all. I had <strong>exactly</strong> the same issue with a slightly older MacBook, it really seems like this is a systematic issue. Does anyone have an idea if this is true and a possible fix?</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[MacBook Pro 16" 2021: MBP M1 2021: Strange Issue with Media Playback: No Sound/Stuck Video/]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi, I am getting no sound from speakers. Tried restarting and shutting down. Different apps are behaving differently.</p>

<ul><li>Firefox/YouTube: Video plays without audio.</li><li>Safari/YouTube: Sometimes no audio/video (but seeker moves, subtitles come). Sometimes video just stuck on loading—in which case after a while it tells me to “try restarting the device” if playback doesn’t resume.</li><li>Apple TV: Media cannot load/play. Instantly media player is “killed” for the lack of a better term.</li><li>Apple Music: Track auto skips to next. Similar to Apple TV. It attempts to play, can’t play, then instead of killing the media it skips to next song, repeat.</li><li>Many streaming services in Firefox, Chrome, Safari: The playback technically begins, I can see the seeker/playhead move in time and subtitles come and go, but video is black and there’s no sound.</li></ul>

<p>What’s common in all scenarios is there’s no sound. It happened abruptly one day. Default device is set to “MacBook Pro Speakers”.</p>

<p>More strangely, in the past week I've been having this problem, there have been two times when it became completely fine. That too, mid-playback. And randomly, it goes away too. For example, most recently when it started working again, I was watching a video on YouTube. I pause it for a bit to do something and when I come back and resume it, suddenly there's no sound again.</p>

<p>Further clarifications:</p>

<ul><li>I opened OBS Studio and added window capture of Firefox while playing a YouTube video. The sound bar was not moving at all.</li><li>I have removed all Bluetooth devices and kept Bluetooth off while I have tested all this.</li><li>It's not just media, no alert sounds are coming either, including the boot-up sound.</li><li>Sound works fine when using a headphone (via aux for example).</li><li>No crackling or weird noise to tell me that speakers are damaged in any way. When they started working again twice randomy during the last week, they worked 100% fine with complete clarity and volume.</li></ul>

<title><![CDATA[MacBook Pro 16" 2019: I changed display: computer lags, fans roar, battery status is missing]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Recently completed the manual (on German) to change the display on my MBP step by step. No difficulties encountered. The new display comes from an ebay-shop with lots of positive feedback and was tested. In fact, it works just as intented, incl. camera.</p>

<p>And yet the laptop does not work as usual. First time it took ages until it could load the log-in screen. And it didn't got better afterwards either. The &quot;SYMPTOMS&quot; include:</p>

<ul><li>very long response time to basic commands such as close the tab or move the cursor;</li><li>battery status is not shown - neither on the tab nor in settings; I suppose the computer does not &quot;see&quot; it;</li><li>fans start to work at full speed as soon as I open the lid and continue like this - no matter the task - and albeit MBP is not even warm.</li></ul>

<p>That's it. I've got to say that I didn't exchange the battery. The only way I came into contact with it is at a step where the battery power connector is disconnected (and then connected); and the same with the battery board data cable. <br /><br />I've read here and there about those &quot;symptoms&quot; and it seems that <strong>(1) working slowly</strong> with <strong>(2)</strong> <strong>fans at full speed albeit no need to cool the computer down</strong> indicates that my MBP is running in a safe mode. Well, I would like to know whether you guys think this too.</p>

<p>Where could have I done sth. wrong in the assembly to cause this behavior? Or what else could be the reason?<br /></p>

<p>After going through the manual (<a href="https://de.ifixit.com/Anleitung/MacBook+Pro+(16+Zoll+2019)+Display+tauschen/135189" target="_blank">MacBook Pro (16 Zoll, 2019) Display tauschen - iFixit Reparaturanleitung</a>) again I believe to have narrowed down the list of possible causes to just four connections that might not sit just right:</p>

<ol><li>1. Display board flex cable (German: Flachbandkabel; step no. 19)</li><li>2. Antenna cables (Antennenkabel; steps no. 22-23)<br />3. Battery board data cable (Akkuplatinen-Datenkabel; steps no. 11-14)</li><li>4. Battery power connector (Akkustrom Stecker; steps no. 15-16)</li></ol>

<p>But I don't want to disassemble the computer just yet, bcs. I am still not sure whether the cause is not sth. else, e.g. faulty display (item) or I broke sth. else during the process. So who knows what the cause of the behavior described might be? And how to fix it.</p>

<div class="clearer"></div><div class="headerContainer"><h3 id="Section_Update_04_30_Num_26" class="header">Update (04/30/26)</h3></div>

<p><a class="user-mention-link notranslate" href="/User/408812/DanJ">@danj</a> thank for advice. However, yesterday after posting this question I chatted with FixBot here. It wasn't completely precise, but in general I understood that the issue most likely lies within the bad <strong>battery data cable</strong> connection. Without doing diagnostics first I risked and disassembled the cover again to check connections manually. Now it works.</p>

<p>It's interesting, I thought that the issue was that one or both sides of the battery data cable weren't fully in the socket. AI said (falsely) that gold pins a) should be put face down to the logic board and b) they need to be full way in to make full contact with the socket. Both of which are false, however. I checked a) with a YT-video where this model gets disassembled - gold pins should face upwards, as in the photo (<strong>guide is correct</strong>). And b) can be checked with another YT-video too, but also I tried it this way and that way to get it fully inside and it's impossible. I might have even bended one side of golden pins slightly. So DO NOT do it. It's just strange that they do not go fully inside and also aren't really fixed (only with those tiny ears).</p>

<p>However, after reseating this battery data cable with the battery power connector in reverse order (first connect the battery data cable to the logic board side, which is away from the middle of the computer, then battery power connector, then another side of the battery data cable to the battery side, which is to the middle of the computer), it works.     ''''</p>

<blockquote class="featured"><p><em>//This discrepancy remains in the guide bcs. there they just say &quot;redo in reverse order to assemble&quot;, which means that the battery power connector gets connected before the battery data cable and, according to the FixBot, can cause a short circuit, esp. if cable is not inserted straight.</em> ‼️</p></blockquote>

<p>So I did not change anything as I see it; also checked other parts I touched during screen replacement procedures: everything looked perfectly aligned and I did not touch them. But believe it or not, after putting each screw back, plugging in the computer and turning it on, I got this: a) no roaring fans; b) usual processing speed; c) battery status is back. So just as it should be. The conclusion is: it was either bad connection of the cable to the socket or a ZIF brake maybe was not flat entirely; or exactly the order of the steps, as AI suggested (however in YT-video they also do it as in the guide: first power, then data).</p>

<p>I hope my detailed answer will help anyone facing similar issues after reassembly.</p>

<title><![CDATA[MacBook Pro 16" 2019: Repeated Kernel Panic when using Chrome (or Chromium APPs) not Safari]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone.</p>

<p>I'm experiencing weird issues with my MBP 16&quot; I9 2.3GHZ, 32GB, 1TB, 5500 4GB.</p>

<p>I bought it second hand in October 2024 and due to some strike by Canada Post it stayed for a whole month in a warehouse, dead battery on delivery, the Touch ID was kaput, tried many resets and installs and nothing (no DFU yet).</p>

<p>Some time later, I began having some Kernel Panics here and there, once a month, not so persistent. But lately it began to happen too much in the 10's one after another.</p>

<p>I used it for long gaming sessions with an external ssd ( bootcamp ) not a single crash.</p>

<p>The kernel panics happened a lot when :</p>

<p>Apps running : <strong>Chrome</strong>, PremierePro, After Effect, <strong>Spotify</strong>...<br />Connected to : NVME enclosure, external USB C hub ( 4K HDMI + 2 ext. HDD ), Bluetooth connected to my AV receiver.</p>

<p>Lately I switched to using Safari only and weirdly no more crashes:<br />NVME enclosure connected + Pr + Ae + Bluetooth active, w/o external USB C HUB</p>

<p>Here is a conversation with Gemini documenting the crashes : <a href="https://gemini.google.com/share/e49e55d16562" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" title="https://gemini.google.com/share/e49e55d16562">https://gemini.google.com/share/e49e55d1...</a></p>

<p>Gemini is pointing to a faulty power rail or even a faulty T2 Chip ( management + BridgeOs).</p>

<p>I've tried to having some experts to diagnose the issue and all of them gave me the same advice &quot;change the motherboard or better buy a new one&quot;.</p>

<p>Louis Rossmann won't be happy with their diagnosis, but yeah I get the struggle of putting in some work and having it fail again.</p>

<p>Right now I sincerely think it's a software issue, I tend to run a lot of renders over Ae &amp; Pr and not a single crash, CPU and temps all high for 1 or two hours, only when an app as Chrome or Spotify ( chromium based app ) runs that I have the unresponsive for sometime before rebooting from a panicked kernel.</p>

<p>The report always states a random unresponsive processes, but I fell like the smoking gun is held by Chrome or Spotify, my proof is simple, they do happen a lot when I push it to the extreme, open new tabs of very taxing website (IG, FB marketplace) the kind of website that has too many layers to it...</p>

<p>Is there anything that I'm missing here ? Faulty hardware acceleration ? I typically run my Mac on dedicated GPU only. Any other hardware ? Or purely some corrupted firmware ( T2 related ).</p>

<p>I'm willing to do a DFU restore in the coming days with another Mac to attempt a recovery of the TouchID and a clean install, even though one quick visit to an Apple Store and they told me it was best to replace it for 200$ ( after a 1 hours diagnosis ).</p>

<p>Tanks again !!</p>

<title><![CDATA[Retina MacBook 2016: Everything replaced. Keyboard doesn't work]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>You know, I've been so dedicated to fix this %#*@ thing. New battery, new logic board, new bottom case with new keyboard (got two because first one was bad). new trackpad, new cables and yet...... the keyboard STILL doesnt work. At this point, with money sunk into this....I guess its just ready to retire. Not sure if anyone has had this experience, but its been pretty frustrating. Everything else works fine otherwise.<br /><br />Mouse works fine... power button works fine. Just been the keyboard. I've gone through every variable I could think of.. at this point I have no clue what else there.</p>

<title><![CDATA[MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Early 2015: Keyboard and trackpad don't work, loose cable?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My keyboard and trackpad have now completely stopped working. Before, they would work occasionally, and if it wasn't working I'd just reboot and kind of press on the bottom of the laptop and they would work, but that is no longer working.</p>

<p>The power key is the only one still responding, so I've been using a USB keyboard and mouse, but that isn't exactly practical to bring to classes.</p>

<p>My assumption is that it's a loose cable, as I was told by the Genius bar that the keyboard and trackpad are controlled by the same cable (they told me my laptop was scrapped and I needed to purchase a whole new one...how about no?).</p>

<p>Does anyone have any ideas or advice? What does the cable for the trackpad/keyboard look like so I can open up the bottom and see if it's loose?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<title><![CDATA[MacBook Air 13" Early 2017: MacBook Air Fan Running Flat Out After New Screen Installed]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I swapped a broken display for a new one on a Macbook Air 2017 A1466 and get these two errors in diagnostics</p>

<p>There may be an issue with the fan ppf003</p>

<p>There may be an issue with the camera ndc001</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/GCkIXifQPVJKJcVv.standard" width="282" height="211" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/GCkIXifQPVJKJcVv.huge&quot;, '', 'width=1600,height=1200')" /></div>

<p>The fan is running flat out, using Mac fan control app I can see the computer is reading the RPM correctly as it fluctuates up and down in RPM slightly and all temperature sensors appear to be working. Using photo booth I can confirm the camera is working perfectly too.</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/TZSyRZOEDs5Df52N.standard" width="282" height="211" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/TZSyRZOEDs5Df52N.huge&quot;, '', 'width=1600,height=1200')" /></div>

<p>I have done nvram and pram reset but still same two errors. I read online that if the camera is not seated correctly it will cause the fan to run flat out so I double checked the connector for it and it's in nice and snug. I've removed it and reinserted it 3 times, same error but still camera works perfectly in MacOS.</p>

<p>How can I tell the Mac the camera is working fine and to dismiss this error?</p>

<p>On the slight chance I have somehow damaged the fan I have ordered another one although it seems to be fine from everything I can see. I have tried to reseat the fan cable multiple times too.</p>

<title><![CDATA[MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Late 2013: Where should 923-0238 Phillips #0 go?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>After attemping the I/O board replacement, I have one Phillips left, and couldn't find a place. It is suppoed to be 923-0238, which is suppoed to go to spot No. 1.</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/GgYuLeR2ahOFHSIY.standard" width="282" height="180" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/GgYuLeR2ahOFHSIY.full&quot;, '', 'width=1089,height=694')" /></div>

<p>However, spot 1 seems to be occupied by a Torx screw. That's also the case for my laptop.</p>

<p>Both my laptop and online guides can't give me any idea about where the Phillips screw should go.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<title><![CDATA[MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Early 2015: I knocked the C1060 capacitor while removing heatsink. What to do?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I wanted to try my hand at replacing the thermal compound, which was looking very crusty, on my old MacBook Pro. It was my first time, so I was quite prepared for any mistakes I might make. I was doing it for the experience.</p>

<p>As I removed the heatsink, I pulled it sideways rather than up, knocking it against the capacitor below the CPU.</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/HVSTcS5RHGwG4ONI.standard" width="127" height="225" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/HVSTcS5RHGwG4ONI.full&quot;, '', 'width=1080,height=1920')" /></div>

<p>After doing some dugging, I found out that it's the C1060 capacitor. See the boardview below and the relevant extract from the schematics.</p>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/Q1MVjdDWSYtoKSXH.standard" width="262" height="225" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/Q1MVjdDWSYtoKSXH.huge&quot;, '', 'width=1394,height=1200')" /></div>

<div class="imageBox imageBox_left"><img src="https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/w3xhcY4smE6KdF6n.standard" width="282" height="112" class="hasMenu hasLarge" alt="Block Image" onclick="window.open(&quot;https:\/\/guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com\/igi\/w3xhcY4smE6KdF6n.full&quot;, '', 'width=2010,height=804')" /></div>

<p>The computer works. I ran Cinebench, and the kernel didn't panic or anything. I assume it's a matter of luck.</p>

<p>I am considering whether to buy a heatgun myself or give it to a professional. A heatgun costs around 80€. I have asked a local professional for a quotation.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any insight into this problem, any recommendations? Should I take it to a professional to get it fixed? Is it worth fixing? Is it worth buying the equipment to try and do it myself?</p>

<title><![CDATA[MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Early 2011: MacBook Pro 2011, I replaced the logic board but can't get it to work]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello</p>

<p>I have a Macbook Pro from early 2011 and I had problems with the video, I took it to a technician to reball it and it supposedly worked, at the same time it failed again and this time they told me they had changed the video chip.</p>

<p>In the end, it failed again and when I took it to repair it again it did not work again.</p>

<p>I finally bought a used logic board in china and was able to successfully install it as a replacement for the deceased one.</p>

<p>But I have the following problems:</p>

<p>1 The battery or battery charger does not work so the fans run at full speed.</p>

<p>2 I was able to get it to boot but it does not recognize the SSD.</p>

<p>3 I put the original hard disk (unfortunately it had been used for a windows pc) and tried to install different versions of OS</p>

<p>- Yosemite USB installation (failure to finish preloading the USB, the computer restarts and the installation begins again)</p>

<p>- Installation via USB of El Capitan (failure to finish preloading the USB similar to Yosemite) but then I was able to install it with &quot;Clover&quot; and the installable image of El Capitan. The installation was successful but when the mac tries to start it reboots before finishing the progress bar with the apple at the start. This installation only works failsafe and I cannot start the diagnostic mode (D, cmd + D, option + D) nor the recovery mode (R, command + R)</p>

<p>- Recovery using time machine, since I have a copy of High Sierra, I recovered the complete installation but the behavior is the same. Fails to start unless in safe mode.</p>

<p>- Currently installing a minor version (mountain Lion) install the first stage, restart and start installing the second stage. it always restarts after 30% and starts again.</p>

<p>4 In the El Capitan version I uninstalled the drivers for the dedicated video card, hoping that was the problem, but I never got it to boot normally.</p>

<p>I also did all the possible updates and only the installation of &quot;MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.7&quot; fails because when the Mac restarts to do the update, it restarts again and again and only continues in safe mode. when I look for if something needs to be updated, &quot;MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.7&quot; reappears</p>

<p>Please if you can tell me what steps to follow or some guide would be saving me.</p>

<p>I am in Argentina and the prices to take this equipment to an official service are exorbitant and unreliable.</p>

<div class="clearer"></div><div class="headerContainer"><h3 id="Section_Update_08_31_Num_2021" class="header">Update (08/31/2021)</h3></div>

<p>Hi <a class="user-mention-link notranslate" href="/User/408812/DanJ">@danj</a> , you really blew my mind!</p>

<p>First of all thanks for your help and advice, in my many searches I found many of your contributions and they were always very helpful.</p>

<p>I read quite a bit about it and to try and rule out that this was the problem and did the following:</p>

<p>Using my other computer (macbook pro early 2013) and internet recovery I installed mountain lion on a 16Gb pendrive. I put it in the macbook pro 2011 and by pressing option I told it to boot from it.</p>

<p>To my surprise and for the first time it managed to start!</p>

<p>I even managed to install the update &quot;EFI Firmware Update 2.7&quot; ...</p>

<p>My joy ceased when it rebooted for no reason while trying to install the Safari update. (started downloading update and failed)</p>

<p>The mac rebooted again and while loading the OS it rebooted again! This behavior persists as long as a reboot failure occurs and I think I manage to stop this reboot cycle when I hold the power button and turn on again while pressing the option key to choose usb as startup.</p>

<p>As you had indicated to me that the cable could be the cause of the failure. Disconnect the hard drive cable from the logic board. I started again and it rebooted again :( again trying to update Safari.</p>

<p>Just in case, also disconnect the cable from the optical drive.</p>

<p>With both units disconnected it continues to fail.</p>

<p>Currently, it only has a 16 Gb USB as a hard drive.</p>

<p>Since I couldn't update Safari, I downloaded Chrome and managed to install it.</p>

<p>But as soon as I want to start Chrome and the icon starts jumping on the dock while loading, it restarts again ...</p>

<p>Here's my suspicion: Could this be a matter of memory? Currently, it has two 4Gb memories and before doing all these tests I had changed them for two 2Gb and it also failed.</p>

<p><strong>Update (09/02/2021)</strong></p>

<p>Here it is the report I got booting into safe mode</p>
