Ok I am new to this so I basically have two questions.
1.). I turned my computer off last night. When I turned it on this morning it would only go to the loading screen with the apple and loading circle and it will stay there for about two minutes and the computer will shut off. It's been doing that all day. I called apple and they told me it was a hardware issue and to bring it in. Does anyone know what this is? Is it the end of my computer? Are the repairs going to be very expensive ( Aka more than the price of a new computer?)
2.) if this is the end of my computer, if I get a Mac mini is there anyway to use my iMac as a display?
Computer Info: iMac, g5 late 2006, 17 inch, 1GB ram, intel core 2 duo. It came with tiger and it's been upgrade to leopard. I was going to upgrade to snow leopard and lion this weekend, but... The hard drive and memory are close to full.
Please help if you can. Thanks you guys
