Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a little advice on my powerless 13" mid '09 MacBook Pro.

I don't want to bore people with a long-winded story so in short:

• A message popped up asking me to install an update,
• I start installing the update,
• MacBook Pro crashes,
• I try to restart and ever since, it hasn't ever fully started up again.

The screen started getting stuck on the grey/Apple symbol but over time seems to have deteriorated. Afterwards, it started sticking on the grey/spinning timer screen. Since then I've turned the machine on maybe 4 or 5 times and the machine was staying on for less time until we get to today - where it won't switch on at all, I hear no noise and it appears to be completely dead.

Any help you guys can give would be great, please let me know if you need any more info - I'm pretty devastated at the loss of my main source of income.

Thank you,

Susan
