16" Brand new macbook pro not charging / booting up
This happened to me twice in the past day: I purchased both of the following model MacBook Pro 16-inch laptops and both exhibited the exact same behavior. They never booted. I never saw any screen other than the empty battery screen with charge icon. I used the 96W USB-C Apple power adapters that shipped with the Mac. Nothing. Two lemons in a row!
