The machine was gifted, and I was just so happy I could get Debian to boot then I never really investigated the hardware or thought much about it.
it looks like there is a solution floating around this thread that I'm going to be trying.
I have a Lenovo running Deb 12. The MacBook was also running Deb 12. I think it had SSH and a few other services like WeeChat and I think it was running a next cloud install.
I won't get to actually troubleshoot it until I'm on a bus tomorrow afternoon. if I am unable to just reformat the swap partition and get it to boot, I'll follow up with you.

my Debian install has never been ideal: the GUI is spotty, but the underlying system has always functioned just fine, and to that extent, I have used it as a home server.
it was powered off when I got home.
upon selecting the appropriate option from grub, manually or automatically, it begins the boot process, displays errors too fast to comprehend, and the screen goes to a cursor, then black. repeated power button long-presses seem to be the only thing
that brings it back to life, but only so long as I don't try to boot the installed os.
can someone help me troubleshoot this?

aha.
booted a live USB. one of the partitions is now of type "swsuspend". my sleuthing has led me to decide it's a corrupted fs.
how do I go about recovering this???
Processor model? Memory size? SSD size?
What version of Debian was installed?
What services was it providing?
Can you log in to the machine from another computer via ssh(1)?
Do you have a recent image of the SSD?
Do you have a recent backup of the data?
What other computers, disks, etc., do you have available for trouble-shooting and repair?
