[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1299876, member: 8287"] What state are you in Kyle? I am a computer tech and work on Macs. If you were somehow close, I would say bring it here with a new drive and I will put it in. There are a couple of Mac Fourms members within 50 miles or me or less. I was shocked. My close friend bought a used 24" iMac and he did NOT plug the iMac into any kind of surge protector leave alone UPS. A Line Transformer (On the pole out back) blew and caused a surge. After that his mac got the ? screen. The surge took out the controller board on the hard drive! We bought a new WD Black 1TB and I installed it and put on 10.6. You can bet he now owns a UPS after that one! :D [/QUOTE]
