[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1834241, member: 175845"] If you need any of your data, it may still be accessible on the hard drive, and I would strongly suggest you contact and use the services of a good [B][I]Mac tech[/I][/B]. They should be able to recover your data with the equipment they would normally have. By "Mac tech", I mean an independent Apple Service place or business, and not an Apple Store. They wouldn't even look up that machine anyway!!! EDIT: If the hard drive is dead and not mountable, then "Recovery" as [URL="https://www.mac-forums.com/forums/members/46727.html"][B]chscag[/B][/URL][COLOR=#3E3E3E] mentioned above may be you only other option. [/COLOR] I guess after all your years as a member here you didn't notice the multiple posts emphasizing having a [B][I]current backup[/I][/B]. Too bad, and as our housebuilder would always say: [B][I]**** happens [/I][/B]Unfortunate but true. Addenda: I see auto-spellcheck and autocensor for replacing [B][I]****[/I][/B] works well here!!! - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
