I took it in to the shop and they weren't even able to diagnose it because startup would fail within a couple seconds (only the LED would turn on). After they realized it was only two weeks old, they offered to trade it for a brand new one they had in stock. Fortunately there was no data on the "old" one that I needed so I was able to do that and get out of there in just a couple of minutes.<br> <br> I'm not too sure about these Apples. No hardware failures with PCs for a decade. Two Mac failures in the last six months?!<br> </blockquote> <br> -- <br> Victoria L.
