James, you know that we even love your skits!<br><br>But yeah, no surprise here with Monterey. Shit broke my MBA in that way, that I couldn’t charge it anymore through my monitor while using it. Had to completely wipe it and revert back to Big Sur… Still running it even, because I don’t want to have the shitshow again,(reply>), @plixplux Tbh, I followed the steps of a video from MrMacintosh.<br><br>I got myself the ipsw file of the version I wanted (11.6 for me), got myself access to a M1 Mac Mini, as my MBA is a M1 too, installed Apple Configurator 2 on the Mini and used that to wipe and reinstall Big Sur on the connected Air and made painfully sure that the MBA had no chance to update its firmware. Only after that I enabled Wifi on it. My observations had shown that, once Monterey is even only on the recovery drive, the problem would appear again...<br><br>Unfortunately this was the only method which really did work. All the other ones, where I would only use the Air failed and could not get rid of Monterey on the recovery drive...<br><br>If you're interested," I used this video for it:<br><a href=""https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ae_Vm39dxrA"">https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ae_Vm39dxrA</a><br><br>I hope I could helped you a bit ^^",(reply>), You managed to boot it? How?<br><br>Mine doesn't get throught the preboot checks; I don't get a chime, I don't get an apple logo....
