On startup screen freezes on grey with centre circle with diagonal line. I have tried starting holding various keys as suggested on internet sites - control, option, P and R; C; etc. nothing seems to work. The computer has been quite hot lately. Prob a 2010/2011 model. The power transformer also getting quite hot. Perhaps time for replacement of the lot?
Questa è una buona domanda?

I had this issue with my MBP and it was because the GPU was starting to fail. I would recommend trying to force the intel GPU to run on startup and see if you can get back into MacOS that way by following the steps here:https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/for...

Sounds like your hard drive and/or HD cable is bad. Do you have a friend with a Mac that you can connect yours to? If you do see of you can run Disk Utility from your friends Mac to your attached system.

Thank you Dan. Didn't have friend with apple so finally went to Apple itself. Hard drive ok (phew) but other problems suggested a new computer was in order. So that was the decision. Was able to transfer data myself via hard drive external reader.
