    Macbook air m1 can't access the recovery options by pressing and holding the power button

    I have an M1 MacBook Air (A2337) 2020 that came in for water damage and will not turn on. Upon opening it, I saw that the audio board was severely corroded. I disconnected it, and the device started working.

    After that, I dealt with the issues on the audio board by removing the capacitors that were shorted to ground, and the device started working. However, I encountered another problem: I can't access the recovery options by pressing and holding the power button. I'm not sure if it's a hardware issue or if the recovery partition has been lost. Currently, the system's time isn't updating, and it's stuck in 2020. I can't log in because there is a password. The device currently doesn't have an iCloud login, but I can't reset it since I can't access the recovery options.

    Please help me. Thank you so much.

      Have you checked the power button itself? It's directly underneath the audio board and connects through it. Better off replacing the board, they aren't that expensive. Check the connector for the power button and the flex itself. Don't assume because the MAC starts that it is working, because they auto power on when USB-C is connected usually.

        It's true that my MacBook automatically starts when I plug in a USB-C cable. However, when it's running, I can still shut it down by pressing and holding the power button, or turn it on by pressing the power button. The only issue is that pressing and holding the power button when turning it on doesn't allow access to the recovery options. There's no message on the screen. I don't know what to do next. Please help me.
