I was trying to reinstall MacOs since my keyboard wasn’t working and would only respond in safe mode. But when I pressed command R while pressing the start/off button, it started flashing a Grey screen of a mouse and is completely unresponsive. Please help!

The grey mouse is the system telling you it can’t find it (trackpad) or an external input (USB or Bluetooth) mouse or trackpad. Time to check your battery first! Using an external mouse or trackpad lets get an idea on what its status is installing this app Coconutbattery Post a snapshot of the apps main window so we can see it here Adding images to an existing question Follow this guide to carefully take the cover off MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Early 2015 Lower Case Replacement You’ll want to inspect it using this image as a reference
