Q: Partial Startup - Grey Screen
Hi folks.
2009 Macbook Pro. Brand new fully-charged battery, PRAM reset several times, Power Manager reset several times. I press the power button to start the machine, it chimes, gives me the apple, I can hear the drive spinning/searching, spinner appears, grey progress bar below, then shuts down. Tried safe mode, nothing different.
Any ideas what this could be? I'll be testing the drive if I can find a way to get an external with a startup OS for Yosemite.
Any input appreciated.
Cheers

Hi there. Thanks for the reply.
Tried to verify & repair disk after getting the Command-R rescue installer, and the volume info was pooched. So, I had to resurrect from a Time Machine backup. Works fine.
That will teach him to not back up and not take care of his laptop.
Cheers
