I have a Mac Book Pro 2.6 Core Duo - late 2007, the one just before the uni-body.

I come to turn on this am, I hear the start-up sound but nothing on the screen. I tried all 3 or 4 steps suggested on the apple site (e.g. take the battery out and press the power button for 5 sec, hold command & option keys while switching on, etc etc). But nothing works, I have taken it to my local apple store, they tried something but did not come right, he said he could access the HDD and see all the files, but now has to send it away.

I am thinking its the graphics card, does anyone have any ideas? And is my graphics card a seperate card or intergrated into the logicboard? If intergrated, does anyone know a ballpark figure on a replacement, even if there are any avaiable.

Thanks a mil in advance.

Just to update everyone and complete this thread.

They replaced my logic board free of charge, so this sort of thing is covered by the extended warranty. I am just waiting for them to get back to me with the length of the cover for this replacement board.

But she is back and working like a bomb :)

Thanks Apple.

free even if out of warranty? Do you have a link to the document on this special coverage program?
