[QUOTE="botherboard, post: 1629005, member: 340057"] [b]We managed to get it up in Safe Mode again[/b] Hi everyone and thank you so much for answering! Today me and my husband decided to connect it to a different power supply, different socket in the house we found altogether. It now goes to the blue screen with a little arrow in the upper left corner on a regular boot. I managed to get it up into a Safe Mode now, what a Christmas miracle it has been. We tried to burn DVDs with my artwork but whatever the reason they don't match my drive and get ejected, computer doesn't recognize them, if they need a firmware/drive update I can't do it because Safari crashes in the Safe Mode (it crashes anyway). I would really, really appreciate if you guys know what I can do right now while it's in the Safe Mode to at least extend its life enough so we can buy another memory stick or come up with something else to save some files. We fully understand that we probably cannot save the machine itself; we said good-bye to it, ultimately. Meaning, is there anything else besides repairing disk permissions that I can do now that I have it running at leaset somehow? I don't think even Safe Mode is going to last long, it can die any minute. Thank you once again; Maria [/QUOTE]
