My nephews MAC is on the blink, it wont switch on, i mean it does (the wee white light flashes) but the screen is a complete blank. After turning it on and off it eventually comes up but the whole thing looks like...its all multicoloured lines and then just goes dead. I was just wondering is there anything i could do, or is it a case of sending it back?

they would first have to diagnose the machien to find the issue..
that's why i always buy the applecare for my machines...
sometimes stuff like that can cost almost as much as a new machine
