Hello guys,

I don’t know what to do as it seems a bit weird. When I reboot I get to a blank screen with flashing folder with ? So I thought, ok it can’t find operating system or HDD. So I boot in recovery mode which works fine for about 15 secs (I get to the language selection and can go to the next slide if I’m fast enough). It after that I get the flashing ?folder again which makes no sense to me.
Tried PRAM reset and that didn’t help.

Any ideas what could be wrong or even possibly fix it? Please?
 
Try powering down, then rebooting to "internet recovery" mode:
command-option-R
Keep holding that down until the "internet symbol" appears.
You may need to enter your wifi password.

Does this get you booted (to recovery utilities)?
If so, can you open Disk Utility and run the "repair disk" feature on the drive?

Is the MBP still under warranty or AppleCare?
If so, I'd take it to an Apple Store genius bar.... without delay.
 
Thank you. I’ve tried that an nothing worked so in the end I took it to the apple store. They don’t know yet what the problem is. Might be faulty partition or fried ssd. Or maybe just software glitch. I will know more in few days. 🙂
