Prev: Install Norton Security Suite?
Next: Got my Mac back
From: John Varela on 5 Feb 2010 17:07
I have only a partial description of the problem because the
computer belongs to a friend who lives in another state. We were
going to visit there for Super Bowl weekend, during which I was
going to troubleshoot, but instead we're hunkering down at home
during a blizzard.

My friend has an early 17" (2GHz?) iMac. It has developed a vertical
red line (more than one? I don't know) on the screen. The line moves
to different places on the screen, but whether during operation or
only on reboot I don't know. He has booted from the DVD and the red
line(s) persist.

I'm guessing a hardware problem with the GPU. If so, what's repair
likely to cost?

Comments or suggestions?

A belated thank-you for the suggestion. (We've had a series of snow
storms here that interrupted all sorts of activities.) My friend
checked and unfortunately his machine is not subject to any extended
warranty.
