[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1007717, member: 46727"] If it is the logic board thats bad, it could cost $500 or more to repair. May not be worth it if the machine is 3 years old. If you do decide to let Apple look at the machine, be sure to get an estimate before authorizing any repairs. Firewire Target Disk Mode may be able to help figure out what's wrong by running Disk Utility from the good machine. You can also do the hardware test from the good machine - the extended hardware test including checking the memory. That may or may not help. But if you do have access to another Mac, it's certainly worth a try. Regards. [/QUOTE]
