Andy resets or things that can get hat back to normal or would I have to go to the store? The screen is supposedly a real original screen but please help pmg

If the OS couldn't find the disk to install it on, maybe it's time to erase the disk. Please use the Apple website or CZcams to do so, as I am in the same situation.
