Unlikely to be the mbr then. More likely the circuitry, controller on
the motherboard or disk itself. All of which are hardware issues. if
it were my machine I'd probably get myself a big fat usb drive for
backup and do whatever odd freezer trick someone suggested and as soon
as it is alive, backup the whole thing to usb disk. Then throw the
disk away.

Cheers,
