https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204156

If your Mac doesn't start up all the way or needs you to do something

during startup, it might stop at one of these screens. Circle with a line

through it Learn what to do if your Mac starts up to a circle with a line

through it (prohibitory symbol).


• If your Mac doesn't turn on - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204267


Another? is more elusive to remember!


Good luck & happy computing!
