M1-Macs: Help with Problems
How to Repair M1 Macs with Apple Configurator
The new Apple M1 Macs are true wonder machines. They are fast, efficient and power-saving. They are completely different from the previous Intel Macs. If you are looking for a PRAM reset, NVRAM reset or any other previously known startup handle, you won't find it anymore.
This in turn raises the question, what if the M1-Mac no longer starts or the firmware goes on strike?
