An office IT type brought over a boot drive on a USB stick. We got it to the point at which we got to the disk utility, but it didn't see the laptop's drive at all. Even when we tried to reinstall High Sierra, the installer could not see or find the laptop. Only the external boot drive. So... still working on it.
There's something really ugly going on here. One theory is this SSD laptop is encrypted, thereby making it impossible to recover. I don't fully understand this theory, but I hope it's not as ominous as it sounds.

Subject: [Avid-L2] Mac Catastrophe - Help!Some truly FUBAR has happened with my MacBook Pro. I'm on location in
Ukraine, working, suddenly the computer screens went dark, and everything
froze. I forced a shut down then tried to restart. The progress bar on
restart went only so far then was replaced by a blinking folder icon with a
question mark in the middle. Now no restart can complete.
Any ideas what in hell just happened here? This feels bad. This feels
really bad.
Help.
Thanks,
DD
