    Just a heads up, if you ever sell your computer, you need to be confident the data is wiped. I know friends that would pick up "clean" computers and find tons of old files using a couple of programs. IE buy a new battery and don't toss out this one too quickly.

    good call. We have a toshiba laptop, sony desktop and an old ibook all sitting around because we haven't wiped them yet. hopefully they all can still boot up so I can wipe the data before donating.

    Good solution, but tricky on a laptop.

    Brought it to the Mac Store by Lloyd Center today on the way to the RG. They new exactly what was wrong. Said that is caused by condensation where the charger plugs in. Said they see this every now and then. Going to cost me $150. I'm getting it fixed then using it as our home computer in our office. Move that Macmini to the kids room to use and then get myself a new MacBook Air. Thanks for nothin as usual bitches!
