[QUOTE="Tweedy37, post: 1738029, member: 385201"] Hi Please some clever person help! Just bought a 2009 Macbook Pro 2nd hand from a so called reliable source for my boys 18th. It came with a 500 hdd, 4mb and Elcapitan. At first all well working beautifully really swift. Went to start it but now this. 1. Grey screen, slow progress bar (really slow) then switches off and black screen. To resolve this I have tried to reset PRAM - doesnt work. I have gone to Disk Utility to check for problems but it shows me several things, see attachment.[ATTACH=FULL]25358[/ATTACH]. I am not sure what to do next. I Can't understand why it worked perfectly then just isnt now. Hope you can help. [/QUOTE]
