Hi, in case you face these challenges again, put the target system into DFU mode and connect the configuring system using the appropriate USB-C port (only one will work). The DFU key combination is finicky for portable machines: connect a charger (preferably Magsafe so you can watch the power LED) and your configuring system, press and hold power to be sure the system is off (if doing this turned the system on, repeat this step), press left ctrl+option and right shift at the same time as the power button, count ten seconds, let go of everything but power until the device shows up as "DFU" in Configurator (you may be prompted to allow more accessories to connect to your configuring system before it does). If asked to perform a software update before/during reviving, choose "Quit and update" and start the process again. If you upgraded to 13.6 or 12.5 before facing these issues, you may have to enter recoveryOS instead of booting normally and perform a system upgrade to Sonoma. If done correctly (without choosing Restore), you will not lose data. If you can't do these steps yourself or think you will have trouble walking a family member through them, the Apple Store can do a revive for you (be explicit that they are only to revive the machine, not restore or replace).
