Apple Macbook Pro 17 Inch (Model A1261) FAULTY (see pictures) in Stroud, Gloucestershire for sale

This is a MacBook Pro 17 inch from 2008 in really good condition externally but is faulty as cannot get past the screen shown in the photos about restarting the laptop, it just returns to that page everytime you restart it. Start up sound works fine. Spares and repairs ideally! Unless someone knows how to fix. Comes with charger and charger light comes on when you plug it into the laptop.
