Hi
I have just had a horrible experience with my 2008 iMac 24". While working on my machine the screen suddenly corrupted with a checkerboard pattern. When I rebooted I took a pic (see attached). Now when I reboot the screen is totally dead. No text or backlight, nothing.
The hard drive seems to make its familiar bootup noises with no odd rattles. In addition, the corrupted screen also appeared on my second monitor which makes me think its a graphics card issue not the screen itself.
Anyone seen this before? I fear this is going to cost a lot in repair bills
