Chimes, followed by black screen, should I replace HDD?
Hi, I have a MBP 15" 2008 A1260 penryn (S Leop.) that chimes, followed by black screen - I have hooked it up to another MBP (M. Lion) in target mode and although I can see the drive (an access all info off of it) Disk Utility can't open it / access it. After a while of copying data it suddenly shuts down, I have copied all the data I need.
I have tried safe mode / single user / Discs - nothing but black sceens - and a shut down within around 5 mins...
After I am hoping my problem is the HDD, but before I go ahead and replace it...I'd like to be a little more certain that the problem is not elsewhere...
Any input greatly appreciated...
