Hey guys!

I have a Macbook Pro A1241 820 - 01700 that came in for repair due to boot loop

It gets to the apple logo with normal fan spin, hangs there for a few seconds, then the fans spin faster for a split 2 seconds or so that you can hear them - (customer said her mac was hissing and rebooting, which was just the fans)

After the fan spin harder for 1 - 2 seconds, Mac turns off and starts again shortly after and loops this over and over.

Having a look over the board the only thing I can go off is that is was really dusty, to the point where I thought perhaps it's just been caught in a loop and running hot so it can't boot.

After cleaning it up, and trying for a boot, no luck - no signs of any damaged bits or corrosion.

What would you suggest?

Thanks, Max

Thanks for your prompt reply!


Once I DFU, do I need to reinstall OS, or from there will things be fine?

You should try revive option first.
May need restore and reinstall macOS, as this option erase entire SSD.
