Hi,
My 2015 macbook pro (monterey) is showing the following images on startup and the cursor is not moving. Any thoughts on what could be causing this and a possible solution?
Thanks,

If your keyboard/Trackpad flex cable has a fault and is failing—
it is asking you to connect a wireless keyboard and mouse to the machine; you can try connecting externally and compare your results.

Thanks Leroy,
I did have an external mouse connected last week and the problem seems to have started since then. Only the external keyboard and mouse seem to work.

Hi Leroy,
Should I try resetting the SMC? External wireless logitech keyboard and mouse work.
Thanks,
Rijesh
Hi Leroy,
I tried resetting the SMC but no luck. And now there is a loud sound from what seems to be the fan. Is that expected?
Thanks,
Rijesh
