I have to admit I'm clueless about my mac and it's probably way more computer than i need. But anyway...
My imac G5 has been getting this random fuzzy screen thing. I did a search and it seems it's likely a faulty motherboard that needs to be replaced. I'm not even sure what that means. But my questions are:
is it ok that I am restarting my computer by pressing and holding down the power button when my compter freezes up due to the fuzzy screen thing?
Also, once I actually had to turn off the power to the computer from the power strip to get it to restart. is that ok to do?
and is it ok to just keep using the machine and hope for the best (I need to finish a research paper by Aug 20th)? Or should I borrow my husband's laptop for now, and send this for service right away?
And it was purchased in october 2004. Is it a one year warranty so this should be covered?
I will feel totally lost without it, but if it needs to go for service immediately, then that is what I'll do.
Any advice on this problem would be greatly appreciated!
