The top message says, turn on your wireless keyboard, the bottom one says turn on you wireless mouse.


The take-away is that your keyboard and mouse devices are not seen at startup.

When hardware disappears, the first line of defense is an SMC Reset:

The computer turns on, what outline of apple on a black screen comes up, white horizontal bar shows things booting up, then, about 15 seconds along the white apple and line flash red for a split second, a few beats later the screen goes dark grey and alternates these two images - each image up for a few beats. - Thank you!!

Besides Grant Bennet-Alder sage advice,


it would be meaningful to state:


what exact Mac /model /year /size /retina /TouchBar is this

or

what exact macOS you are currently running?
