Any customers impacted by this situation can contact Apple Help for help.”
The assertion would not tackle related complaints by homeowners of pre-T2 Macs. We have requested Apple whether or not there are different fixes coming—as we defined earlier this week, these sorts of issues may be brought on by all the things from software program and firmware bugs to underlying {hardware} points, so it is potential that these experiences are one-off issues that Apple cannot repair on its finish. We’ll replace if we get a response.
In case your Mac has been affected by this bug, you might be able to recuperate its firmware utilizing a USB-C or Thunderbolt cable, one other Mac, and the Apple Configurator 2 app. Apple particulars the restoration course of here—if you may get the “revive gadget” choice to work, you should not lose any information in your Mac’s inside drive.
