I've got an 13.3" early-2011 MacBook Pro running OSX 10.13.6 (High Sierra) and yesterday it started booting very, very slowly and doesn't complete booting. It seems to be getting stuck after the progress bar completely fills in.
I've tried resetting the SMC and the NVRAM multiple times to no avail. I've booted into Recovery mode and Disk Utility says the hard drive is OK. I attempted to reinstall the OS from Recovery mode and it says it's unable to contact the server. I've tried booting into Safe mode but, apparently that's not possible with an encrypted hard drive (File Vault).
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.
