MacBook Air problem

    Friend of mine in work came to me today with a problem on his MacBook Air. His description is: when he turns it on, the screen turns on and there's an icon of sorts with a question mark on it, and it does nothing else after this.

    I know it's vague, but does anyone have any ideas? I'm not too up on my Macs

    Cheers

    I'd say his HDD is gone. it'll need to be replaced and it'll probably cost alot.

    If they have an external DVD drive, get them to boot up from a system disk and run first aid etc. This shoudl tell them if they have a HDD problem or whatever.
