hello everyone.
i have had the mini mac for about 6 years. pretty good computer i enjoy using the system. extremely easy to work and live with. i have come to hit a wall last week. my mac stop working. one night as everyother night i left it on. and when i woke up it was frozen. i try shutting it down by pressing the power button and now it comes to a gray screen. no apple in the middle tho. i have looked into and it says the computer its done. my only options are to buy another one. as much as i want to buy another i want to get this one working.
i know i have to install the OS again but its been 6 years so i dont know where the cd is. another problem is that the mini mac wont read cd or dvds again it gave up but about 3 years ago. my firewire port is not working either. i have my two usb ports working. what can i do to install the OS and still be able to save my information from the computer.
cannot take it to a mac store because im not in the united states and here in venezuela there are no mac stores. well no where i live so yeah.
any advice helpful would be great thanks a lot.
