Okay, if recovery mode works I would think we can say your hard drive hasn't gone dead because it would be a different partition on the same drive. Can I assume you waited a good long time after putting in your password and pressing enter? not trying to insult your intelligence; just trying to work through the possibilities I know.
If I understand correctly, you do cmd-f5 and voiceover still doesn't come on. Is your volume turned up? Remember by default increasing the volume does not produce a sound effect. I know that even if this is the case it doesn't solve the problem of nothing happening after you enter your password but I figure if we crack one problem we may soon crack the other too. Did you also try cmd-fn-5 to try to turn vo on instead of just cmd-f5? Probably Apple will have a concrete idea of what is wrong to give you so if you want to ignore my ideas until you've heard from them, that's okay. I don't have any special knowledge or certification except my own experience with my machine and others' computers, so all I know to do is plod through the questions that come to mind. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears! And now, every day: "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
