Flashing question mark when I turn on my MacBook

When I turn on my MacBook a flashing file with a question mark in the middle appears I’ve watched all the YouTube videos and nothing seems to work it was working at first and now it’s like I’ve almost tried to many times and now it doesn’t want to work,

it just pulls up a caution sign with the apple.com/support logo and -2006F

what do I do?

Go here: If your Mac Starts Up to a Question Mark - Apple Support


Mount the Drive:

Your drive may no longer be being seen, for what ever reason. So, boot into Recovery Mode (Hold Down: [Command + R] upon boot). Then, using Disk Utility, see if the Hard Drive, along with the boot disk are seen. If they are, then see if you need to click the “Mount’ button for it. Try rebooting once more. If of no success, then click unmountbutton, and then the mount button. Try rebooting once more.

I'm having the same problem but when I restart while holding Command + R I'm eventually presented with the Select Your Network drop-down. I make the selection, enter the password correctly, then I'm presented with an exclamation point within in a triangle superimposed over a globe icon with words below saying, "apple.com/support" and an error code of -2006F. What suggestions do you have?

Getting Around This:

Rather than Recovery Mode, it seems it is going into Internet Recovery Mode. So, use the tips provided here: Fixing Error Code – 2006F - Software Tested,
