Since a couple of days the macbook became slow in booting and quiting apps.
After having a complete frozen system, i restarted my macbook. It booted and i deleted the contents of the cachefolder in system/library. I did the same for my user account. Then i ran diskutillity to repair permissions.
Today i want to turn it on again, but all i see is a blue screen.
I tried lots of key combinations eg clearing prom, booting from cd, safe mode etc. But nothing works (not responding). Inserting the tiger dvd does not work either. Ejecting media also doesn't work.
I opened the laptop, plugged the hd to another mac and it can be read. Haven't tried booting from it. But i suppose it would work.
Without the hd installed i powered up the macbook again, but same symptoms. Normally it should show a blinking folder icon asking where the os is, but all i see is a blue screen.
I unplugged all periphals (airport card, dvdreader, ram) one by one to rule out the possible malfunctioning component.
Im out of idea's. Who's the culprit?
