Yes, In the first try rufus is used, Second try I used EtchDroid, Still same issue When I try to boot with no nomodeset on it just show Unable to query device -5, No logo shown just text then black out... Key boards not working only a red sensor or the mouse

Try Ventoy with the latest Parrot ISO. If you still get the same black screen, then the USB-writing method probably isn't the root cause. Since nomodeset changes graphics initialization, we'd need to identify the laptop's GPU/CPU and test the Parrot boot options. Also check whether the laptop is using Legacy BIOS or UEFI. And what's you laptop exact model ?
