Dead Mac

[macmataz]

Hi
My MacBook Pro will not start up, I just get the Apple Icon and Loading wheel
I have done a search and tried to reboot using


done safe boot "Shift" key Grey screen Apple Icon & wheely thing
cmd + R = same as above

Shift + cmd V - where it starts off like this

npvhash=4095
AppleACPICPU: processor Id=1 LocalApicId=0 enabled
" " Id=2 " =1
Id=3 =4
Id=4 =5
disabled

.....
& ends with this line


USBMSC Identifier (non unique): 0000000009833 0x5ac 0x8403 0x9833

Tried cmd, option P & R nothing happens
tried fsck method - nothing happens
Tried to install reinstall disk tries to start but then stops

Gets Hot underneath central top above f5-f7 keys and then heat spreads out
I have allowed it to Run over 5mins, 10mins & I think once 15mins as a lot of infor says for several long minutes however that is very vague so not sure but it does start to get hot

My nearest Mac service is 3-4 hrs drive away so would probable have to courier but would like to know if there is a step I have not covered and roughly what you think the cause is,

At one point in my trying to boot up I did access the HDD maintenance where it said no errors detected

Definitely sounds like a hardware failure of some kind.
Does the computer make any beeps shortly after power-on?

 

[macmataz]

yes it beeps

 

[gsahli]

I meant to ask how many times does it beep - it means something.

only beeps once unless I am holding keys down for one of the reboot scenario's

Have a read of this trouble shooting guide. You did mentioned both Recovery and install DVD. What operating system is this?
