My Macbook will turn on and load up then the screen goes blank (light blue). I tried the pram? reset and the one where you unplug and hold power for 5 seconds. No luck on anything. Problem is I am out of the country on business and can't get it to apple til I get back. PLZ help!

Did you bring your install disks with you? Any Apple service centers where you are?

If you can't run the disk utilities from the machine itself, the only other way is from the install disk. If you don't have your install disks with you or are not close to an Apple service center, I'm afraid you're out of luck until you get back.

If you know someone else who has a Mac (where you are) it may be possible to hook your Mac to his via target mode and at least have access to data if your hard drive has not failed.

Regards.
