stuck on apple logo
Hi all, I have a MacBook Pro A1708 which is stuck at the apple logo when booting. Nothing more happens. I have tried all the key combinations for nvram, smc, diagnostics, safe mode, recovery. Nothing seems to do anything. At some point the smc key combination made the fan blow at max speed but that's it. Any ideas what else I can try?
Update (04/03/25)
hi all, update here, Apple Store did not diagnose it more. I got it back, removed the SSD to try and see if I get something else. Unfortunately no, still stuck on Apple logo nothing else happens. It should give a question mark right now not? So if it's not showing the question mark probably something else is broken? Any ideas what to do next?
Bu iyi bir soru mu?
It does take a bit of time to get to the missing OS state (blinking ?) so in 3 minutes it doesn’t respond the logic board has a deeper issue.

It switches it self of after about 30 seconds. So I presume it is a motherboard issue? Any idea what to do next?

@alexandros04 - Sadly, this ready needs someone with deeper skills and tool to isolate out what’s going on. Not enough info to tell you what has failed or why. Where abouts do you live? Let’s see if we can aim you to a shop with the skills. Just give us your country and nearest major city.

I am a bit capable, working with multimeter, soldering, reflowing. Not an expert but willing to learn and try. You think you could guide me? Otherwise, I live in the Netherlands, nearest city Utrecht.

@alexandros04 - Sorry I don’t know of anyone in the Netherlands, the nearest shop I can recommend is just outside of Liverpool in the UK TheBookYard. As to helping you remotely that really doesn’t work at this level of repair. Besides, you will still need access to the parts.
