I tried to restore my MacBook pro 2019 after a problem with the ladt update, but it is stuck at activate Mac.
No wifi found, I tried with cable but still have an issue.
Activation Lock status could not be determined because the activation lock server cannot be reached. Try again in few minutes.
I have this problem for 4weeks now… please assist!

Troubleshooting MacBook Pro Activation:
Format Anew:
Boot into Recovery Mode, and then erase the drive using Disk Utility. From there, format the drive accordingly (to APFS). Then, reinstall the macOS. Once reinstalled, see if you can proceed from there with migrating items back using Migration Assistant.
If you cannot connect to WiFi, for Wallace we reason, then you’d have to try Ethernet. The Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple

Hi,
An apple store couldn't help.
It is stuck at this screen, and Yes I have stable connexion (The macbook at this stage couldn't find any WIFI but I used Cable).
At this point if I restart It restart with recovery and back again at this screen. I tried also with external hard disk where I can use iOs but it couldn't find it.
Thank you for the help.
I am not able to reboot into recovery mode.
Once I start my mac, I chose interne, then it goes into starting internet into recovery. Once done, it is the activate mac screen where it is locked. No wifi found, and when I use cable, it saif the error msg I sent before.
He's trying his best to help.
Exactly what stage of startup are you in now? What's on the screen if anything? It sounds as if you finally got it started but now there are different problems.
Have you confirmed your internet connection is stable?
If all else fails, you either buy a new, or newer computer, or take it to Apple for evaluation.
