    Hey guys
    Recently my macbook pro started having something loose in it when it moved around and i didn't know what it was. After a week or so every time i turn it on it goes to a blank screen with a mouse on it. I don't see apple logo or login or anything at all. my warranty with apple is up and so i was coming here to see if anyone has heard of this problem before. I feel that it maybe a hard drive problem. As a PC guy i am just thinking about opening it up and playing around see if anything was loose or disconnected. But if there is any advice i figured i would ask before i decided to go with the original plan of opening it up. I have been searching on the internet and i haven't had any success.

    Thank you

    is there a ? sign or an folder in that grey screen? the problem might be on the cable that connects the HD or the HD itself
