I have a bricked MacBook Air (Late 2020) and I am reviving it by iTunes (Windows) by using the IPSW because I don't have another Mac to run Apple Configurator, but every time it gets to the apple logo it just disconnects and shuts down. Thank you.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.3

Then your only other option is to try to "Restore" the firmware which will destroy all data on the internal SSD. The only reliable way to perform a "Revive" or a "Restore" is by using the Apple Configurator with another Mac running macOS 12.4+.

If a firmware "Restore" fails, then you have a hardware issue of some sort with this laptop which will need to be repaired....most likely the Logic Board (along with TouchID since they are paired) will need to be replaced.
