Macbook Pro won't start up.I have a Macbook Pro that won't start up. When I turn it on, it goes to the loading screen (the apple icon with the loading wheel) and then turns off. It's not the battery and I know it's not the 'stuck in sleep mode' problem. I've tried running a disk check (fsck -y) but it just fails. Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem?

Also, try reseting the SMC.When all else fails, try everything!

It says it can't be repaired. I tried resetting the SMC, but it didn't do anything.

First, try repairing the HDD from the install disk and Disk Utility.
If that doesn't fix it, I would try an Erase and Install. Could also try Disk Warrior, if all else fails.
Check the SMART status of your HDD, also.When all else fails, try everything!
