MacBook Pro glued on the gray screen and does not start. Help, please!

Hello

My 13 "MacBook Pro (mid-2009), running Snow leopard (10.6.8), has finally given up and won't start.

I tried to boot into SafeMode several times, but the loading bar does not move and the laptop just completely stops.

I also tried to boot in single user mode with the command fsck - fy, but this results in the following:

disk 0 s 2: I / 0 error

Invalid node structure

(4,35296)

* The Macintosh HD volume could not be completely checked.

/ dev/rdiskOs2 (hfs)

You leave with signal 8

I guess that means that there is something wrong with the hard disk and some corrupt files?

My problem is that I have no time machine backups, so I would like to know if it is possible to do something to get to the top and running.

That, I do not have an external drive with my main important files and photos on a failure, so is it possible to completely erase the computer so I can sell it at least?

I really need help on what I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure it out!

I'm not all techniques with regard to the material. I tried doing research and have seen things, which suggests that I should reinstall the OS X, this would imply in the disks provided with the laptop when the power?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Boot from the DVD and run the check/repair disk utility and repair permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the hard disk using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS extended (journaled), then click on the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the operating system.

When you restart, use Setup Wizard to restore your data.

  • NB just by making the effort test and does not start backup

    HP dv7-4177 started having types, wouldn't restart. I tried to test that are inbeded and when I did the stress test he stops and does not restart. I hit the power button and nothing happens. I took the hours of battery sevealr and handed over in but I have nothing seems to help.

    Hello Nutn Spec.  I understand that your notebook is currently unable to boot.

    What kind of questions you know before performing the stress test?  This will help me identify the cause of the problem.

    Have you tried to do a hard reset?  It drains all the residual energy of the laptop and hardware reset forces.  If you haven't tried this before I would suggest trying the following.

    1. Make sure that the laptop is completely turned off.
    2. Remove the battery and AC power.
    3. Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds, three times.
    4. Replace the battery and AC power.
    5. Try to start Notepad.

    Let me know the result.  I will keep an eye out for your answer.  Have a great night!

    I opened it and dry all (air cold & mild)... paper to remove moisture.

    but screen remains black, a beep and the fan not working too.

    Please help... What can I do?

    Hey,.

    It seems that water damged your laptop or at least some parts. In the worst cases, you need a lot of new pieces of equipment, but I don't think that an authorized service provider can help you diagnose this problem.

    On the Toshiba site, you can search for them:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > find an authorized service provider

    Contact them and ask for help. They will help you as much as possible. :)

    Original title: load windows normally screen will not continue

    I went to my computer tower and I chose to install updates when closing.  I went back later to re - turn on my computer and now it loads to the top of the black screen that gives you 5 options. safe mode, safe mode with networking safe mode command prompt, windows loads normally and finally to load windows from last known configuration that works.  Problem is that none of these options work.  they all return me to the same screen.  Help this laptop came preloaded with Win XP Media Center edition and I can't get back to work.  IM assuming I need a XP disk support center but I can't find them anywhere! HELP PLEASE SOMEONE!

    Hi Burton089,

    Your hypothesis is right. To resolve this problem, we need to repair your installation of Windows using the Windows XP disk. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the laptop to check if they have the Windows recovery disk.

    Hello

    If when you start your Acer is no 'Acer' logo splash screen at all and nothing appears on the screen, which would indicate a hardware problem.

    If under warranty, contact Acer.

    If it is not under warranty, use a repair shop, local.

    See you soon.

  • MacBook Pro is super slow since yesterday and does not load now

    I went to use my MacBook yesterday and it was to be extremely slow and after hard resetting (by pressing the power button) about three times, it was fine. Now today, I turned on my MacBook and now the progress bar will only about 60-70% of the way and then stay stuck there. I restarted once and it was still stuck. I restarted once more go in safe mode, but it was not completely load again. I found another discussion about a person having a similar problem and I have reset the NVRAM and still it will not load.

  • 6 Lightroom opens the import screen and does not cancel

    When I open LR 6 (office), he immediately goes to the screen to import. When I then try to cancel the import, the screen closes for a minute and then returns to the top. I can't find a way to put an end to importation and use LR. I performed the last update patch and reset the preferences.

    A few general suggestions-

    Check your tab Preferences-general LR, the "Show import... dialog box. "and uncheck the box if checked.

    Restart LR

    Also unplug all usb devices that are not required.

    Hi, I hope someone can help me.

    Portable Satellite L655D age of 18 months of my daughter began to hang on the black 'starting windows' screen, when it stays until it turns off after several minutes. I didn't spend this stage for several days, and the machine seems completely unusable.

    I then turn off by pressing the power button for a few seconds, I can then select F12 with the option to start in safe mode, but the laptop never makes it in safemode, it real just data on a screen black for a few seconds and then it crashes with the message "Please wait".

    Others that look, I'm not able to go beyond these screens.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    Did you create a recovery disk?
    In this case, you could use this drive in order to reinstall windows on the laptop system.

    Another possibility is to drive HARD recovery. Press the power button, F8 and choose fix my computer. Now choose HARD drive recovery.

    I hope that you can do this

    Hello jerrylumpe

    1. If you use an old mouse, try to clean it.

    2. you can have a running process in the background that keeps XP thinking that he is busy and so the screen standby does not start.
    Go to msconfig and uncheck everything you don't need, then see if the screensaver will kick in.

    Start/run and type
    Msconfig
    Ok

    Startup tab
    Keep the page open then click on the link below. It will tell you what are all the entries and see if you can disable them or not

    http://www.SysInfo.org/STARTUPINFO.html

    Read the key at the foot of the page, then click on "Here" at the top. Use the search box to check all your entries

    Try this too
    http://www.kellys-Korner-XP.com/xp_tweaks.htm

    Line 51 left side. Click on "toggle".

    It could be that something is resetting the timer. For example, it does take much vibration to move the mouse a little, and which will reset the timer to zero. Something like that would be possible? Or a pet that walks on the keyboard?

    I would like to point out something that you may not realize: Windows 8
    has two interfaces; the modern/Metro Interface (which may be all the)
    you have looked at) and the traditional desktop Interface. You can use
    one or both. This traditional desktop Interface is almost
    identical to the interface of Windows 7. the biggest difference is that
    There is no Orb start clicking to bring up the start menu.

    But note that you can get the ORB start by using one of the many
    third-party programs, are free or very cheap (the classic interface
    http://classicshell.sourceforge.NET/ and debut8 to
    http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/; my personal preference is
    Debut8, but they are both very good).  And goes from an interface to
    the other is very easy; There are several ways, but simply by pressing
    the Windows key is perhaps the easiest.

    Just install one of these two and using the traditional desktop computer
    interface may be a better choice for you than going to Windows 7.
    I use Windows 8, almost exclusively with traditional workstations
    the interface and with 8 Start installed. If you were to look at and use
    my computer, you may have a hard time realizing that it is not
    Windows 7.
    I also recommend to read "how to make Windows 8 or 8.1 watch and.
    Want Windows 7 "to http://www.howtogeek.com/elk/298/45121/4206
    I can't address the issue with your games, except to say that
    whenever you move to a new version of the operating system, some of
    which is used to run on the former does not work on the new. And it's
    much more likely with utilities and games with companies
    applications.
