(macBook Pro 2012)
I have a double problem ,
the original problem i had was that when I was forced to shut down the computer by holding down the power button , when i rebooted it would not go past the apple logo, it would just fill up the line and never go past it.
tried
Shift+Control+Option+Power
and
command-option-p-r
then finally
Command-R just got me to the internet connection and then once again got stuck on the apple logo spinning
thinking it was my hardrive, i removed it and tested in another computer.... it's not the hard drive.
So i put the hardrive back in the original macbook , boot it up and now the screen is black now complicating the issue even further as i can't figure out how to connect an external monitor with it in this condition.
My next guess is RAM , can anyone with more experience tell me if this is what it sounds like?
Sorry for the long winded post, but I thank you in advance for reading it and possibly helping.
