My 2017 MBP got bricked trying to update to 11.1. Shut down for reboot, and never came back up. None of the troubleshooting steps worked. Apple won't budge since it was out warranty and wants $725 to fix it. They literally told me that maybe I should consider getting a new one. Such a joke. Really stuck, tbh, as i'm not sure if I should just fix it or forget it and leave the macbook world.

You should definitely call Apple support again. That is not a normal response. They might ask you to bring it into an Apple store, but they should offer some help even outside of warranty.

It won't turn on at all. Completely dead.

I'm all for jumping on the Apple hatewaggon, but I wonder if it is completely dead, and it just happened to die while performing an OSX upgrade? Stranger things have happened.

I'm assuming firmware. Assumptions correct, it's BS that Apple won't fix their own mistake.

You can doubt, of course, that is your right.

Leave the Mac behind. Run with great speed in the other direction. Things are SOOOO much better without Apple hardware in my house.

this idea doesn't really work if you actually like macOS/Apple products.

Also it doesn't work if you stuck with Stockholm syndrome
