Hi!
So, ive got a macbook early 2016 256 out of the box. First boot was okay, but first restart (due to appstore updates. Nothing is wrong with it, the fact of machine shutdown is the problem) it didnt boot because no storage available (ssd dissapeared, blinking folder). Injected thumb drive with sierra installation image, booted, launched diskutility - no sign of internal ssd.
Reboots, smc,nvram resets - nothing was working. But somehow it booted onto internal ssd, finally.
So... after gentel restart from the mac os(on ssd) im in dissapeared ssd step again. Same picture.
Tried to smc reset (shift-ctrl-opt-pwr for 10secs) got a loop(or smth) cant start it up at all, black screen. Any ideas ?

Sounds faulty. I should take it back, or to an Apple store, or call Applecare.

You could try running Apple Hardware Diagnostics as here:

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202731

which may show the problem, (but I have had faulty Macs which AHD and AHT have said are OK).
True, Diagnostic utility didnt show an error.
[doublepost=1513766744][/doublepost]UPD
I managed to recreate bug few times. Seems like nvram does not properly work. Which means after any full-shutdown-start cycle something goes wrong (not sure what exactly yet).
To fix the system, untill next shutdown, I did:
1. Reset nvram with (opt-cmd-p-r) 3 times in a row (hold keys till it will sound 3rd time, then release)
2. Reset smc with (shift-ctrl-opt) ~8 TIMES or more! Repeating the same (shot-ctrl-opt) + pwr for a sec, release all, wait for blinking folder, (shot-ctrl-opt) + pwr for a sec, wait for blinking folder ....
So, eventually system boots up.
Also! Seems like usual reboot works without problems. Only full-shutdown kills nvram or smth.
Hope it will help someone.

This does not sound to me like a problem that is going to fixed forever by something you can do to the computer. You have done all the standard things.

I would either take it back to the person/place you bought it from, or call Apple.
