My MacBook Air of 7 years won’t open anymore. When I open it, it shows a file with a question mark (?) and only after I reboot it and restart it a couple of times it will finally open after a very long wait. I can’t reset it to fabric settings as I’ve seen it’s recommended to do, because the hard disk isn’t showing up when I want to erase the things on it, neither I can install a new OS. Any idea if I can fix this problem and how? Mention that I can’t afford to take my Mac to the service right now, so any tip would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

    At minimum you are going to need to replace the SSD, at a maximum you are going to need a new laptop. Honestly I’d suggest getting a new one as it’s not smart to put much money into an outdated device. Good sales on the M1 MacBook Air right now around Black Friday.
