Macbook Pro grey screen, new HDD
Hello all, I have a pretty long story about what has happened to my macbook so I'll try to make it short.
So about one month ago my cat chewed through my charger so my macbook was inactive for about a month. I then purchased a third party charger with good reviews and plugged it into my macbook and it worked no problem. However, it seemed very sluggish and trying to open 20 different applications ( I admit I'm a bit haphazard with what I leave open on my laptop) Anyway I tried to boot it up later and it wasn't budging. It would get to the apple logo after the chime and would load for a bit and then go to the "grey screen of death." Now, before you ask I've tried EVERY little tip and trick on the internet including that settings reset thing.
Unfortunately, I have no access to recovery mode. I never made backups (doh!) or time machine or anything like that. I tried doing INTERNET recovery but it didn't work. HOWEVER, I have made some positive steps. First, I bought a cable in order to dump my files onto my other computer and save them. I then Formatted the drive with MacDrive on my PC. It's still in the correct Mac-compatible format. So now that my HDD is of no consequence. Where do I go from here? I figured Internet Recovery would work but it goes through the whole process and then back to the grey screen. Is my internet not connecting? (considering it is a login/password internet) I would any suggestions. I'm pretty desperate at this point to save my macbook.
TL;DR My Macbook wasn't booting up;grey screen, now my HDD's blank and I want to reinstall Mac OSx and boot up my computer again!
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
