Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My MacBook Pro won't turn on from the grey screen. I have tried refreshing the RAM, and that has not worked. I tried placing the start up disk into the computer when turning it on and that still has done nothing.
It takes a while for it to get to the prohibitory sign. Before the prohibitory sign it usually has an apple and it just sits there for a while.
I don't know what to do.
Help is wanted.
Thank you very much!
MacBook Pro
Same here, got a mid 2008 imac 24 with snow lion, HD is probably dead, even if it shows up in the boot -alt
I also attached an external drive to it, for temp solution and installation, isn that possible?
It doesnt show up in the boot thought, any smart ideas for workaround here?
I installed a new and better HD (500gb) and that fixed the problem. Before, I had it backed up on an external HD but that wouldn't work because I didn't have the re-install discs copied to it. But, since the new HD, its been back to normal for the most part. The only difference is that when I close it to sleep, the light doesn't just go off like it used to; instead, it stays lit up for a moment then goes off.
I ordered my HD from OWC, but if I could do it over again, I probably would have just went to Office Depot and picked one up because they are around the same price, yet the one one OWC did come with the tools I needed to replace it.
Good luck to you!
Why won't my MacBook Pro start up from the grey prohibitory sign?
