done a factory reset + HDD format.still the same ,Did you get an error message when trying to format the HDD?

If you can't hear the HDD then it is quite likely that the hard drive has failed.

No nothing, it won't even let me in to do a HDD test

It may be a fault, but I would not do anything drastic for a few days, by which time the TV schedules should have settled down.

Something similar has happened to me a couple of times with the 5000T. In my case a complete power down (remove the plug from the mains and wait a short while) and then power up allowed access to the HDD. If you haven't tried this it might be worth trying. At this stage you haven't got anything to lose.
