Internet recovery isn’t working

macOS recovery won’t show up, internet covert globe isn’t working. I have a MacBook Air and none of the command keys are working. I don’t have another WiFi network or Ethernet. What do I do?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Just keep on trying, i rebooted a MacBook air this year and the install took a couple of attempts.

you can use safe mode or cmd r

hopefully your macbook keyboard is working, if not you can use an external usb one to reboot the settings, or even a usb mouse

somehow these usb items will send a signal to the MacBook to wake the laptop up.


i hope this helped
