Q: 2011 Mac Book Pro wont start up

Hi everyone

 

I have a 2011 MBP (not sure what it's running - could be Mavericks) that is not starting up.

 

It had been running fine until this morning when I started it up. I knew something was wrong when I saw a little box with horizontal blue lines around the Apple logo. It then went to a white/grey screen and then to a bright blue screen.

 

I have tried a range of things at start up and continually get a grey/white or blue screen.

 

I had it fixed a year ago because of it's graphics card failing (typical 2011 MBP).

 

What could this issue be and have I potentially lost all of my data? - I have 80% of it saved on my external hard drive except my Lightroom files and a large file of photos (which I really don't want to lose!)

 

 

Thanks for looking into this for me!
