MacBook Pro - Startup keyboard shortcuts are not working.

MacBook Pro 2020

Troubleshooting some issues with it but otherwise working fine.


None of the startup option do anything. Option key at startup gives no startup disk choice (just boots up anyway). Same with Command R and Command, Option, P +R.

SMC reset attempted with no result.


Keyboard (built-in) work just fine after boot. None of the preboot keyboard shortcuts do anything. Even with an external keyboard.


Cannot get into recovery mode to run the troubleshooting steps I want.

You do not say if this is Intel or M1...?


Is this your personal machine or managed...?
