hi peeps.
i have a strange problem was hoping someone may have heard of it before.

i have a damaged macbook pro that i was given.. it was droped and the hard drive was damaged..

i have put a new hard drive in it and am now trying to install OS X onto it..

i turn on the laptop on with the OS X instalation disk in and hold C..
when u first turn on the screen lights up nice and bright with the apple logo and spinning logo icon..

as u hear the cd spin up the screen goes really dark (almost looks off) but in the back ground u can just make out the osx instalation screen but is far to faint to see enough and i cant make out if there is a mouse there...

any ideas???

There has been a batch of Mabook pro's with faulty graphics cards.
You may have one of these, give Apple support a call and see.
