Not able to pass flashing folder with question mark, unable to reset NVram

The flashing folder persists to keep on flashing even after trying out work around for resetting NVRaM ( holding Option+Command+P+R)


Would be great if anyone can assist with this problem


thanks

Hi prajakta1901,


Try these steps to tell your Mac to start up from its internal drive:


  1. Shut down your Mac.
  2. Hold down the Option key as you power on your Mac. Release the key when a startup disk appears, or when you're prompted to connect to a Wi-Fi network.
  3. If a startup disk appears, select it using the arrow keys, then hold down the Control key as you hit Enter (Return). This tells your Mac to always start up from the internal drive.


If a startup disk doesn't appear in step 2, please let me know.
