Only The Base System is Available in Disk Utility (Recovery Mode)
crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:
I have this issue that in recovery mode only the base system is available in show all devices within disk utility.... the owner of the unit said they 'reset' the unit for the new owner to install and setup to their own preferences.... unclear on what they did as they are no doubt without knowledge on how to correctly do this type of thing, but I guess they just deleted the whole SSD partition and now it is not found by the system.
I have reset SMC & PRAM to no avail. Running first aid in disk utility finds nothing. There is only 1 USB-Type-C connector on the side so target mode isn't possible AFAIK. .. When I go to internet recovery it prompts to install Ventura but there no option to select any disk to install it on..... no option for erase in disk utility.....

Sorry for the poor images..... ***Please leave a comment until we can post a definitive working answer*** as I found a few posts online and there seems to be a fix for it but for me it didn't work and was unclear on if or how they did it.... I am sure there are many out there who had this same issue and would love to know how to fix this if possible....
I managed to boot externally and in the about this mac (Storage) it only shows the external drive size. Disk utility shows ***NOTHING*** internal. Apple diagnostics report no issues found. I cannot run the terminal command system_profiler SPSerialATADataType as command not found.
I guess it is increasingly looking like it had some sudden SSD Failure and the end of the road for this Mac. @jadonlyon & @oldturkey03 if they can shine some light for me.

SSD is dead and the unit shall be returned to the owner to bin sadly.

I have this issue that in recovery mode only the base system is available in show all devices within disk utility.... the owner of the unit said they 'reset' the unit for the new owner to install and setup to their own preferences.... unclear on what they did as they are no doubt without knowledge on how to correctly do this type of thing, but I guess they just deleted the whole SSD partition and now it is not found by the system.
I have reset SMC & PRAM to no avail. There is only 1 USB-Type-C connector on the side so target mode isn't possible AFAIK. I have seen some posts on how to fix it but had no luck here... when I go to internet recovery it prompts to install Ventura but there no option to select any disk to install it on..... no option for erase in disk utility.....

Booting from my external drive still does not show the SSD and only Apple disk image media 1.17 GB / Container Disc 2 / Base System.

I managed to boot externally and in the about this mac (Storage) it only shows the external drive size. Disk utility shows ***NOTHING*** internal. Apple diagnostics report no issues found. I cannot run the terminal command system_profiler SPSerialATADataType as the underscore is only a - (There is no issues with the keyboard).

It increasingly looks like some sudden SSD Failure and the end of this Mac.

I am attempting to install Ventura externally to see if I can then get to the internal SSD..... but this might be tricky as this useless unit has just 1 port and installing Ventura suggests 2+ hours and the battery will most probably run dry in that time..... to be updated.
