Failure Code 4MOT/1/40000003: HDD?
Over the last couple of weeks, I've experienced frequent system freezes (spinning beach ball, unable to force quit apps). I ran Apple Hardware Test (AHT) and received a failure code: 4MOT/1/40000003: HDD.
Can anyone with knowledge of this code please confirm its meaning? I'm guessing hard drive failure, but I'd like to be sure before taking the computer in for service. Is there any additional beneficial info to be gained by running AHT in extended test mode?
Thanks!
