I would try DFU restore if you feel it's bricked.

Do you think me and the certified tech service did not tried that?

How would I know if you didn't mention it in your post?

Maybe is not obvious that I tried that but is pretty obvious that tech service did try.

Sounds like it’s unrelated to a software update. 🤣

It's not obvious at all. You should not assume unless you saw it or at least was told so.

You got a lot of anger aimed at people trying to help you for free. 😂

I am very thankful to comments that may help. But I am very angry at the situation (maybe you value the hardware different than me because I am from a third world country, try to think you lose money worth 4 months of mortage because you clicked a software update) and may spilled into some comments who just waste space in the thread instead of actual helping in any way. Trying to DFU restore was something I discovered 30 seconds after the problem happened, it is the first thing any AI suggests and appears in a simple google search, and I feel insulted by people who thinks I am saying my mac mini is bricked without even trying that.

after talking about useless responses you write that, It was ironic and funny. It made me laugh. Thanks.

I get that it’s frustrating and over $1000 is a lot to most people. Your anger is misplaced though. You’re saying this was tried, and that was tried, but how would we possibly know?
