Unit switches on. But I dot not get my usual home page. All I get is a white screen, with a greyed out folder in the middle of it with a question mark in it. Update (03/07/2019)
Hi, Thanks for your reply. The case itself is intact. I think it’s going to be one of those do I or don’t i moments! If it’s the HDD replacing it is simple enough. But….
Ouch! Sorry your HDD has died as this point you’ll need to get a replacement. I would think long and hard before investing to much into this system. This series had a couple of problems, one was the lid frame would crack and the second was a defective GPU. Frankly, I would place a prayer over it for the last time. Look at getting a newer used MacBook or MacBook Pro as a better investment. Update (03/07/2019) Looks like you got the double whammy! Your GPU chip has failed as well.
