Well after being a good few months out of warranty my 17" 1.5 ghz powerbook has decided to act up. I noticed a few days ago that every application would run extremely slow, that is, if it wanted to fun at all. Anything I clicked on would receive the beach ball of doom and would remain that way. Even the force quiting process took forever, if I could force quit at all. Really it just came down to me having to hold down the power button to reboot.
Now the darn thing wont even boot up. When the screen comes to be grey with the apple in the center, the dark spinning circle thing comes on and just keeps spinning and doesn't do anything else. I've let it go for a good hour and nothing has changed. I ran disk utility to repair the HD. Still nothing. Then I decided to run the hardware test and this error came up when testing the logic board.
Error Code 2ISS/1/5: 0x40
I don't know what to do. I've never had anything like this happen to me. I've read plenty of forums now about Apple and bad logic boards. And also Apple products having problems just in time for warranty to expire (like my 1st gen ipod that's hard drive crashed just after warranty expired). After all the money they are bloodsucking out of me to even own this computer. Now I cant even afford to get it operating again if I do have to replace something. I just feel really low right now so If anyone can give me some sorta advice I would appreciate it very much. Thank you!
