At this moment, I am holding down the power button along with a combination, then once I hear a chime, I let go of the power button whilst continuing to hold down the key combination.ĮDIT: Using Apple's warranty check, figured out it is a Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2010 version. I am not entirely sure I am even pressing the combinations correctly, I am a PC/Android user so I am not familiar with Apple's OS. But it does not make sense to me how I am still unable to get into any of the internet (Holding command+option+R down) options at the very least. From my research it is likely to be corrupt system files or a dodgy HDD cable connection. I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me out here with what I should do. Only success I have seen is getting into a startup manager screen which has no icons and just the mouse cursor, no option to select a HDD or even my Wi-Fi. However, regardless of whether I attempt to get into recover or an internet recovery, a white screen persists which turns into the same old folder icon. I should be able to find out the model number in a few days once my cousin has found the shipping box.Īfter searching various subreddits and of course, Google, I have tried to enter pretty much every startup key combination there is on this list

At this moment in time I do not have any install disk or USB (though I could create an install USB if need be), and, I also do not know what software version is currently installed on the system, nor do I know the exact model number. Whenever I try to power on, there is a white screen and after a few minutes a folder with a "?" begins to blink on screen.

I have my cousin's Macbook Pro 13" that does not boot up. So this is the problem I have in front of me.
