I called AppleCare and they indicated a PRAM reset and upgrade to 10.4.8 is the fix. Guess that's ok - better than sending it in, but what next? I wonder. I have no confidence the machine isn't going to summarily die, tomorrow or the next day. Sigh. I guess I'm going to have to sign up for AppleCare, to keep this thing going. Just going to have to factor it into the overall cost of the machine. rickb So, I’ve had it home for four days and — white screen followed by vertical lines.

Simply bought ProCare and was able to have a one day turn around. Seems like they have the parts in the store - quick fix. One part, Heatsink kit, with Spnge 1.0 mm Conn. I am very happy after months of frustration. Fixed in 1 day. Simply bought ProCare and was able to have a one day turn around. Seems like they have the parts in the store - quick fix.

Might want to ping them on that. rickb Think I read somewhere that if they couldn’t fix it in 20 days, they send you a new one.

I'm not an employee of anyone, except on a temporary basis. And that only when I have to. I don't know why I got such prompt service, other than perhaps Apple is getting their hands around this. Again, I suspect that, as I said in the original post, forums like this are bringing the issue to the forefront. rickb Yeah, hardly.
