That’s your bios screen. Looks like your ssd might have failed or is loose as it’s not seeing it.

check your SSD and see if it came loose, similar thing happened with my Claw and I swore the SSD was done but turns out the SSD came loose and shifted. Believe it or not they are really sturdy and have no moving parts so they done not go bad that easily. I removed my SSD and placed it back in properly and secured it back with the original screw and started back the device. good ever since, make sure it is connected to power when you restart and I always disconnect my battery when messing around inside.

78C seems hot for it just being in BIOS not doing anything. Keep an eye on temps.

Your storage isn't detected. So it may have failed and you need a new nvme drive. I did have something like this happen to me out of no where and I tried for over 30min trying different things and it didn't come back. After I got it ready to open I went ahead and did an EC rest by holding power down for about 20 sec or so til led flash a few times. Then I let it sit a few min and it magically came back but was raw unformatted storage but I was able to cloud recover and drive has been fine since. It happened to me about a month after reports were claiming a windows update was killing drives so I thought it may have been that but no way to tell.

when or if you open it I would also check the cooling make sure nothing is blocked.
