So maybe someone on here can help me before I run to the Apple store.
My Macbook Pro kind of died this weekend.
When I turn it on, it's stuck at the white screen with the apple logo and spinning wheel.

I think my macbook's from 2008/2009 something like that so it's obviously quite old.
I tried all the different boot options, safe boot etc. but it doesn't react AT ALL.
I tried draining the battery and then turning it on with the charger but still no difference.

Does anybody know what the problem for this could be?
Also, before it was like this my macbook basically froze with the color spinning wheel.

If I need to go to the repair store, how much will it be ?

ALL HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APRECIATED cause I'm quite lost on what I can do.
