This is a longshot but maybe someone can help me. ( i am pretty confident with macs and have about 13 years experience with them but this one is beyond me) My macbook pro 2007 running lion with ssd drive has suddenly decided not to boot. It turns on ok and chimes but seems to be stuck on startup. Grey screen with apple logo, but no spinning wheel. I have tried everything to get it to boot but no show. I have done the pram reset, reboot from original discs, changed the HD back to the original, tried to boot from external drive with lion install, tried to boot from lions repair partition, i have tried safe boot (apple+s), (apple+v) but i can't get the terminal bit that people talk about, tried apple+c with boot disc. it just won't budge. i managed to do a hardware test from original disc and there where no errors found.
I have attached 2 images first is a flash message i get when i boot safe mode (apple+s) for about 1 second

the second is the message after that
