[QUOTE="talleyrand, post: 1400147, member: 12452"] thats what I was fearing. I looked at a couple youtube tutorials about taking this Mac apart, and it looks far from easy. I'm gonna break the screen. the local repair center wants $300 or more to swap a drive, $80 just to look at it. Don't know if its worth it. It's just weird that in Windows it seems to function normally. Thats why I was hoping there was some bizarre thing happening. The DUKROM or SMERSH controller needed reset or something. Theres no data to back up, its the kids computer. Was thinking about trying a clean install, but if it hangs during an install im screwed [/QUOTE]
