I am getting the strangest issues lately..
This MacBook Air 2017 is not booting; the loading bar takes a long time to fill up, and then it's stuck.
In verbose mode, it stops and waits for the iGPU apparently: keeps repeating this line every 60seconds:
busy timeout[0], (60s): 'IGPU'
busy timeout[1], (60s): 'IGPU'
etcetera..
I have tried with everything disconnected but known-good IO board and LCD.
Even tried only external screen.
Tried booting up several different known good flash drives with different OS-es: all same thing.
Tried cleaning ME region (with Medusa2)
Tried using 3 different 00165 BIOS files found all over the web (with or without cleaning the ME-region after writing it to the board).
Anyone have any ideas?
*EDIT: by the way, this board is absolutely clean.
