[QUOTE="krs, post: 1818628, member: 67742"] I really doubt it's the hard drive - if it was only the hard drive you should at least hear the chime which is part of the boot up process but does not involve the hard drive. If you have a back up or even just an external, you could use that to essentially bypass the internal hard drive. But now that we know it's a 2010 Mini, people will be able to make more appropriate suggestions. I always try to determine the root cause of the problem before replacing parts. [/QUOTE]
