Macbook pro late 2011 blue screen

[Bbat250]

Hi. I cant seem to get my late 2011 macbook pro going. Im getting a blue screen when it boots or it shuts off when booting after my password.

Command R isnt working but command S gets me into command prompt. I also tried internet recovery but it just launches to a blue screen again

Apple MacBook Pro 17-Inch "Core i7" 2.4 late 2011​

Hello,

Have you tried starting up in safe mode: Hold the Shift key down until you see the Apple logo.

Yeah but doeant work. All of the command options either get blue screen or it just dies completely. Except single user mode, that works. I just dont know how to use it or what commands to type

OK, thanks.

• Hopefully you have a Time Machine or other backup of your data?
• What version of OS X/macOS?

Have you tried the following:

• Reset the SMC of your Mac
• Reset NVRAM on your Mac
• Use fsck in Single-User Mode
• Use macOS Recovery on an Intel-based Mac - try one of the other key combinations

I tried fsck and got an error. Says volume could not be verified completely

OK...

That usually means the OS/drive is corrupted or the hard drive is mechanically failing.

Do you have a backup of your data?

No backups. I was hoping to find some old bitcoin but i guess it isnt possible. Any way to just do factory reset so i can at least sell it?

OK, thanks.

If the hard drive is failing, there isn't any way to wipe it and set it up to sell. You could always remove the drive and sell it as is. They buyer could then install a drive of their choice.

What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac
