I have a 2019 MacBook Pro intel chip radeon pro 5500 gpu

I installed sequoia 15 last night and woke up to a completely dead battery. After finally getting a charge I noticed that my fans are running non stop. The only way I was able to get a charge was to power directly to my MacBook and not through my docking station like I have previously been able to. It shows that it is connected to a power adapter but the battery is not charging. After dealing with that I decided to swap back to Sonoma. I am getting the preflight error upon recovery startup as well as when I have to agree to the licensing terms there are no terms there to approve. I repaired the startup disk and still had the same issue. I rebooted the laptop and tried to utilize the App Store and was getting the error for Sonoma cannot be installed on the current OS.

this has literally taken almost five hours of just trying to swap back to the other operating system and I still have not been able to.

Can’t charge my M3 MacBook Pro after the Sequoia upgrade. Tried two Magsafe and two USB-C chargers. Got to take it to the Apole store before battery hits zero.

I had the same problem, this fixed it:

1 Shut down your Mac. 2 On your built-in keyboard, press and hold all of the following keys. Your Mac might turn on. • Control on the left side of your keyboard • Option (Alt) on the left side of your keyboard • Shift on the right side of your keyboard 3 Keep holding all three keys for 7 seconds, then press and hold the power button as well. If your Mac is on, it will turn off as you hold the keys.

4	Keep holding all four keys for another 7 seconds, then release them.
5	Wait a few seconds, then press the power button to turn on your Mac.
