BW - My wife's MacBook wouldn't start a couple of days ago (at work). We went thru the troubleshooting steps on the Apple support site and fixed it quick.

thanks all
the thing is the screen wont go live.. the little white light on the front lock lights up (its a mac book pro) but thats it

Have anything in the Superdrive? Rogue DVD, or...
poptart?

try starting it without any external USB or firewire connex... Sometimes my iMac gets creeped if I've left something plugged in (camera via USB) and freezes on the white screen on startup. Unplug the USB, starts fine, then back to normal. ... probably useless, but it's an idea.

failing that, you can always resort to human sacrifice to the goddess Mechania.
Mon. 10/5/09 9:31am
From:

does the music count as a sacrifice?
Mon. 10/5/09 9:32am
From:

sacrifice picture!
Mon. 10/5/09 9:33am
From:
BSI
it's gotta be HUMAN sacrifice, so make it some all-vocal stuff.
gregorian chants and suchlike.
Mechania don't suffer no chumps.

i forget who was mentioning "the science of sleeep" last week, but i found it one youtube. incredible movie.. i think it was being recommended to cecile.. yes, you have to see it, but rent it.. youtube is only for people like me who have no connection to netflix.. and then i saw "cherry blossoms" ... german movie.. exceptionally intense and deeply moving ..

Mon. 10/5/09 11:15am

Wait maybe it was that Persona track...I don't know, my playlist is ahead of the actual songs being played I think.

sorry
I am updating now
Mon. 10/5/09 11:19am
From:

No Benjamin, It is not you, It always happens with me on this end. The playlist is always ahead of the song being played. I think it is our connection on this end or something...but thanks for trying : )
Mon. 10/5/09 11:20am
From:
BSI
so maybe it was Persona!
and that wacky cowboy thing gets five stars as well.
Doug: welcome to the belly of the beast!
Buchanan might still be in delivery range of Fusion, if you dig having curry brought to your door.......

the bad cowboy thing was solar skeletons.. I had to edit it.. that cowboy had a dirty mouth

bw, you've probably had a lot of tips, but the lack of response when you power on your machine sounds like it might be a power supply issue.

Your dream indicates that you MUST write this screenplay and get wheelbarrows of cash for it from dopey movie execs, or disaster will befall you. "Karma Cop" will be hilarious. I can see it now. You can pitch it as "an urbane 'My Name is Earl' meets 'Death of a Salesman,' but funnier, and without so much death. Or so many salesmen."
Mon. 10/5/09 11:38am
From:
a mac user
most of my experience is with the desktop G3 and G4 macs, but the fault you've described matches issues I've resolved by replacing the system cooling fan and/or power supply

regarding the Mac prob - have you taken the battery out? A faulty battery can stop a Mac from starting up from the mains.

OK, so how come the grenade blew up about fifteen feet from her and it didn't so much as knock her hat askew? Good to know little Skipper made it through alright.

From his marvelously equipped observatory on his private star, the alert Stardust saw the murderous vengeance and showboatish casualty count achieved by The Veiled Avenger, and he said, "Mmm, this lady is fiiiiiiine!"
