I am unable to get my MacBook Pro started

What is the exact model of your laptop? You can get this information by entering the system serial on the check coverage page here:

Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support

You should try running Disk Utility First Aid on the hidden Container while booted into Recovery Mode (Command + R) or Internet Recovery Mode (Command + Option + R). Within Disk Utility you may need to click "View" and select "Show All Devices" before the hidden container appears on the left pane of Disk Utility. Even if First Aid says everything is "Ok", click "Show Details" and scroll back through the report to see if any unfixed errors are listed. If there are errors, then run First Aid again until the errors go away.

Try running the Apple Diagnostics to see if any hardware issues are detected.
