Probably a common problem this. It's happened to me once before, but I was covered then by AppleCare so I didn't have to worry about it. I have a 13 inch...Macbook running on Tiger.
Right, basically...I'm sitting there playing a bit of poker and using MSN when suddenly everything but the mouse cursor freezes. I move it about a bit, trying to click on stuff to get it to respond, but nothing. I decide after a couple of minutes to switch it off and back on again and...it did it's chime at the start, before making four very strange clicking noises from somewhere internal. It then proceeds to make a struggling sound for a couple of minutes before the old flashing question mark appears. The keyboard and mouse are completely unresponsive and I'd just a like a few opinions on the general diagnosis from what I have just described.
Like I said before...it's the second time this has happened. First time I just sent it to Apple to be repaired, as it was only a month old. Irritating thing is...I just realised now, three years on, they forgot to send my OS installation disc back, because I was unable to remove it before I had to send it off.
Anyway, if I've left anything important out please tell me and I'll try to answer. Thanking yoooooooooou.
