[QUOTE="Cupcakes, post: 802002, member: 50894"] My laptop froze, and I turned it off. I turned it back on and it made the normal chimes that it was turning on, but it just stopped at the white screen. After about five or ten minutes, a flashing question mark in a folder appeared. I've looked on the internet, this doesn't seem to be too uncommon, and it says that it can't find the system software? I've looked on the internet and I can't find anything that works. A solution on apple.com said to insert your repair disk. Hmm, can't find that. I think that got lost when I moved. I called Apple, but they couldn't really help me since my warranty ran out. They said just to hold down the option key and a few other steps that would happen after something appeared. But when I tried holding down the option key, nothing appeared except my cursor. Help? Thank you! [/QUOTE]
