Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

2011 Macbook Pro stuck at grey screen login.

At the grey screen login, after typing my password there's a clicking noise from the left side and a spinning sound, but it won't go beyond that. Eventually there's a message saying "if your having a problem entering your password, press and hold the power button.

Is my hard drive simply dead?
