i read that a fellow member on here had some fan issues with the computer booting up and it almost sounded the sam eas mine.. til i saw that he actually got to run his computer.
well i seem to be screwwed at this point.
yesterday i was downloading a movie on azureus (or waiting for it to connect to a seed) and was bored so i clicked on a video in the azureus library. as soon as i click that, the screen turns gray. says i need to reboot. im kinda p'd off cuz i was in the middle of something but i figure oh well stuff happens.
i turn it off and go to turn it back on, and NOTHING.
all i get is the white apple screen. no working gear, no anything.it just sits there with the white apple. if i let it run for 2 minutes or more, the fans all kick into overdrive and the computer sounds like its about to count down for liftoff!!!!
i tried loading it with the leopard disk in the dvdrom, nothing. a friend says hold in C as i start the computer. nothing. another friend says start while holding COMMAND. nothing.
i tried unplugging the main hard drive and just running the slave to see if i can do a new install on the secondary.. no response. just at first it gave me a tiny question mark in the middle of the screen. assuming it realized there was nothing to boot to. and it wouldnt load leopard. so i plug in the main hard drive again
go to power it up, while holding in COMMAND with leopard in the tray, and it starts to load!! i get online and tell my friend its working again. within 2 minutes of the computer running, the fans go into overdrive again! as soon as they powered up the computer froze and the fans made more n more noise, just like when the computer wouldnt boot at all... so i shut down n try again. now im back to square one with NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!
so long story short, i have a white screen with a little apple in the center of my 23" screen.... and it just sits there til the turbo jets kick on!!
what do i doooooooooooooooooooo
