Internal hard drive not showing at all?

My MacBook has been completely fine, my toddler was on the log in page and was just pressing keys. Then later on I went to go on my MacBook and it will now only boot in internet recovery mode, internal hard drive is not showing up at all?


Any help would be appreciated.


This is all I see and mostly everything is greyed out!


I really don’t want to lose my data but also at this point I just want a working MacBook and I’ve tried to reinstall OS X but there’s no hard drive for it to install to?



All I can think is that potentially there’s a wire loose? Because I’ve had no problems what so ever up until now.


Any help is appreciated! Thanks!!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.1
