Help! What does -2003F mean? And -2100F

My macbook pro slide off the couch open about 2 ft from the hardwoods. The screen came up with a ?Folder flashing. I turned it off and turned back on holding down command R. It came up internet recovery mode and then came up apple.com/support -2003F. I am not sure what to do. I did it again and now I have -2100F. Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks

Usually, that means there is no Internet connection.

Internet/Network Recovery of El Capitan or Later on a Clean Disk

If possible, back up your files before proceeding.

You will need a fast, working Internet connection, preferably, Ethernet. If you must use Wi-Fi, you will be asked to select your network and enter the network password. This procedure will install the version of macOS that was last installed.

Restart the computer. Immediately, at or before the chime, hold down the (Command-Option-R) keys until a globe appears.
The Utility Menu will appear in from 5-20 minutes. Be patient.
Select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button.
When Disk Utility loads select the target drive (out-dented entry w/type and size) from the side list.
Click on the Erase button in Disk Utility's toolbar. A panel will drop down.
Set the partition scheme to GUID.
Set the Format type to APFS (SSDs, only if installing Mojave or Catalina ) or Mac OS Extended, (Journaled.)
Provide a volume name, usually "Macintosh HD."
Click on the Apply button, then click on the Done button when it activates.
Quit Disk Utility and return to the Utility Menu.
Select Install OS X and click on the Continue button.
