2020 13” MacBook Pro M1 Logic Board Potentially Fried

[TofSanity]

Just a heads up: I had installed the public beta for Monterey last week. Yesterday I went to uninstall it from my MacBook Pro M1. Everything was going great until the ”!” appeared on the display. took it to Apple this morning to perform a firmware revive. They just called stating that the revive was unsuccessful and that apparently the logic board has been lost. Not sure if it’s from the beta or just a faulty board for the start.
i am already kicking myself for installing the beta. Luckily for me I keep very little stored on my MacBook Pro.

I don't think it has to do with the beta, the motherboard was defective from the start, the intensive job of installing and uninstalling the beta was the trigger for something that was already defective, it will happen anyway in the near future, better to have discovered now than when your warranty it's expired. By the way I'm running the beta on my Air without any problems.

That’s what I am thinking. the one thing that could be a tell for others is that mine would never go into the Apple diagnostics from day one. No issues other than that.
also, I didn’t have any issues with the beta. just had to remove it from a partition for another reason.

like you said it would have happened regardless. Guess Apple will now be able to give a full going over for any other issues
