[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1687794, member: 204485"] Pull the HDD out before you damage it further, mount it in an external enclosure and restore your data to a new computer or use another computer to copy it to an external HD using Carbon Copy Cloner. In the short term though if it is undamaged, mounted in an enclosure and you have another MBP available you can connect it to via USB cable then you can choose it as the startup drive for the other computer and you will have your computer back. Just like a clone. It will however be a bit slower. I suppose I should ask, do you already have a backup of some sort? Unfortunately repairing what you have may turn out to be more expensive than buying a new one in the long run. [/QUOTE]
