hi, so i was installing mac os x el capitan on a mid 2009 macbook pro, and it shut off when i left it unattended. I came back up to it, and i can't seem to boot it up again, the hard disk just spins up, clicks, and dies.

the sleep indicator light thing was lighting up before i charged it, and now i can't seem to make it light up. i can't boot into an install media, can't boot into os (there was none when it died), can't do smc reset, nor nvram reset.
any help would be appreciated.
