Problem description
The MacBook seems braindead because the trackpad is reacting for 20-30 sec and then it stops and On again. On the USBC multimeter we see boot looping from 0.06 to 0.14, at 0.06 the trackpad is not vibrating and on 0.14 is vibrating. Randomly the MacBook starts but for no obvious reason and works fine, once shut down it will not restart
